A dimensão ética do cinema de Walter Salles: hospitalidade, religação e perdão

Soulignant l´importance des transformations du discours politique du cinéma brésilien actuel, cet étude entreprend une analyse de la dimension éthique du cinéma de Walter Salles. Pour cela, nous avons parti de trois films long-métrages du directeur: Terra Estrangeira, Central do Brasil et Abril Despedaçado. Les films sélectionnés constituent les trois diférents chapitres de cette mémoire de maîtrise, qui s´articulent a des diférentes dimensions de l´éthique - l´hospitalité, la réliaison, et le pardon- et se présentent em format essayistique. Au texte, ces dimensions éthiques émergent à partir des récits, surtout des expériences existencielles des protagonistes et de ses singulières rencontres avec l´altérité. Comme tel, dialoguent avec des réflétions d´auteurs comme Edgar Morin, Zigmunt Bauman, Julia Kristeva, Paul Ricoeur et Hannah Arendt. Des diférents régistres de la connaissance -artistique, scientifique, religieuse- s´articulent donc dans le travail, et dialoguent en condition d´égalité. La recherche fait usage de matériels multiples qui incluent, au-delà des films mentionnés, et de ses respectifs scripts, des références à d´autres long-métrages et documentaires du directeur, ainsi que, des makingoffs, entretiens, et interprétations de commentaristes comme Lucia Nagib, Luiz Zanin Oricchio, Ivana Bentes, Pedro Butcher e Jurandir Freire Costa

A Fogueira do conhecimento: religação de saberes e formação

Les récits sur les expériences de vie se constituent en apprentissages signifiants dans le processus d´ auto-formation des éducateurs. La formation est un phenomène qui extrapôle l ambiance scolaire, incluant les expériences qui servent de matrice pour la construction de la connaissance au long de la vie. Dans cette perspective, «la connaissance de soi», telle quelle proposée par SOUZA, NOVOA et JOSSO, est la notion centrale au tour de laquelle se développe cette dissertation. La recherche a comme idée principale transposer pour la realité des professeurs l´exercice reflexif de son enseignement, médiant la redécouverte de ses expériences de vie, a travers des histoires de soi que, potentialisés, peuvent transformer ses pratiques dans la classe scolaire. Je prends comme point de départ mes propres expériences comme éducatrice assumant la conviction de la indissociation entre sujet et objet de la connaissance, comme propose Édgar Morin pour parler de la science de la complexité. Je fais aussi l´usage des récits de six professeurs du réseau publique de l enseigment, révélateurs de la construction de la connaissance appuyée dans la cohérence de la praxis pédagogique avec son mode de comprendre et sentir le monde. Les oeuvres «Mes Démons» d Édgar Morin, «O Tempo e Eu» de Luis da Câmara Cascudo et «O Banquete dos Deuses» de Daniel Munduruku, ont élargit le champs des récits d expériences que se constituent en matrices des processus de formation. Le travail avec les récits de formation démontrent qu´à partir de la réflection du sujet sur sa propre expérience, il est possible de se projéter des nouvelles configurations de la connaissance tenant comme base, la reliaison entre vie, idées, et pratiques pédagogiques. À partir de la métaphore du bûcher il est possible de se comprendre la force de combustion des expériences de vie dans la formation des enseignants

Prototexto, narrativa poética da ciência: uma estratégia de construção do conhecimento e religação de saberes no ensino de física

In this thesis I present the prototexto notion and to I base as a complex system while strategy of knowledge construction and reconexion of you know in physics teaching. Prototexto is a poetic narrative of the science, proposal and used initially as "instrument of creative" learning for students apprentice of science of the medium and technical teaching of the Vitória da Conquista's CEFET-BA, in the period of 1997-2004. Later become pregnant as a strategy of knowledge construction, in the Universidade Estadual da Bahia - UESB, the prototexto notion configures a complement to the mathematical formulation. The proposal of a poetic narrative of the science is that the apprentice of science starts to organize in an aesthetic-literary way your knowledge, dispersed in disciplines, starting from a theme of the physics. The prototexto emerges of my reflections concerning the classic science, identified for Edgar Morin as tends a thought excessively numeric, and that it has been reproduced in physics teaching, in most of the schools, limiting him/it to an order pattern with the mistake absence. They are operations of the prototexto: the poetic language, the pedagogic stamp, the unfinished of the argument, the system character and the apprentice's of science inclusion as subject implicated in the construction of the knowledge. the theoretical foundations are based Morin's proposition of the method as strategy, the beginning of the complementarity of Niels Bohr in conceiving excluding categories as face of a same phenomenon and the conception of creative time of Ilya Prigogine that enunciates the alliance among the nature and the man that it describes her

Modelização e análise de desempenho de redes de distribuição mistas

A evolução tecnológica a que se assistiu nas últimas décadas tem sido um dos principais fatores da necessidade de utilização de energia elétrica. Consequentemente, remodelações tanto a nível de equipamentos na rede de distribuição como da qualidade de serviço têm sido determinantes para fazer face a uma evolução crescente do consumo de energia elétrica por parte da sociedade. Esta evolução tem afetado significativamente o desempenho dos sistemas de proteção e automatismos associados, sendo estes cada vez mais fiáveis e proporcionando maior segurança tanto aos ativos da rede como a pessoas. No entanto, esta evolução tem tido também impacto nas linhas de distribuição em média tensão, estando estas a evoluir de rede aérea para linhas mistas de distribuição. As linhas mistas de distribuição têm diferentes desempenhos técnicos e económicos no que respeita aos sistemas de proteção e respetivos automatismos de religação automática. Neste trabalho são analisados alguns parâmetros que têm influência na atuação das proteções e respetivos automatismos de religação.

A luz da espiritualidade na cultura pós-moderna

A divulgação da espiritualidade através dos movimentos sociais da Nova Era está a desencadear a transformação dialética do indivíduo num sentido profundo de união com o cosmos. Com o desenvolvimento tecnológico, a internet revolucionou o modo de disseminação da informação ao facultar livremente o acesso a conteúdos sobre a filosofia oriental na base destes movimentos. No contexto de rutura com o modelo cultural judaico-cristão, os indivíduos reconheceram nestas filosofias os modos de sentir para os quais, até então, não tinham obtido qualquer esclarecimento. Paralelamente, assiste-se à modificação do paradigma cultural regido pelas religiões tradicionais para a emergência do paradigma ecológico centrado na ética e na espiritualidade. Atualmente, em Portugal, o fenómeno social tem evidenciado ruturas nas práticas culturais dos indivíduos. A cultura da Nova Era exalta o rompimento com os modelos tradicionais e exalta a luz como signo e símbolo de uma nova era cultural. O clima ideológico criado pelos iluministas e potenciado pela Revolução Francesa parece estar a (re)emergir na cultura ocidental, em plena pós-modernidade, à luz de ideais reconfiguradas na espiritualidade, na noção de unidade, de religação com o cosmos, dos quais falam diversos autores como Boff, Giddens entre outros. A ideia da espiritualidade, da transcendência humana, do domínio interestelar do qual falam os movimentos espirituais da Nova Era está presente em diversos domínios da cultura pós-moderna. A ideia de luz surge como signo, sentido e simbologia principal, é a palavra mais amplamente difundida na cultura New Age. É deste modo que, por exemplo, a cocriação preenche o signo da luz repleto de sentidos, como ideia de exaltação da busca por uma espiritualidade simbolicamente individual e que se (re)cocria socialmente sob o signo principal da luz. O significado de luz e de espiritualidade do qual falam os movimentos espiritualistas tem merecido amplo destaque na publicidade, reproduzindo os sentidos de luminosidade que difundem os movimentos da Nova Era. Frequentemente, encontram-se inúmeras destas referências simbólicas em produtos e subprodutos culturais que nos circundam. Em certa medida, o individualismo reinventa-se através da espiritualidade dos tempos deste novo século. Ou seja, revela-se na espiritualidade voltada para si próprio, na busca do seu “eu” interno, na procura da essência de si mesmo.

Toxicidade genética das antraciclinas : associação entre estrutura química e ação inibitória sobre a topoisomerase II

Considerando não apenas a importância das antraciclinas na terapêutica do câncer, mas também os efeitos colaterais associados ao uso destas drogas, o presente estudo procurou avaliar a atividade genotóxica de seis antraciclinas em uso clínico - doxorrubicina (DOX), daunorrubicina (DNR), epirrubicina (EPI), idarrubicina (IDA), além dos análogos de última geração, pirarrubicina (THP) e aclarrubicina (ACLA). Para tanto, foi empregado o Teste de Mutação e Recombinação Somática (SMART) em Drosophila melanogaster, que permite a detecção simultânea de mutação gênica e cromossômica, assim como de eventos relacionados com recombinação mitótica - possibilitando quantificar a contribuição deste último parâmetro genético para a genotoxicidade total induzida pelas drogas em estudo. Os dados obtidos a partir desta análise demonstraram que todas as antraciclinas estudadas induziram acréscimos significativos, relacionados tanto à mutação, quanto à recombinação nas células somáticas deste inseto. Além disso, a recombinação mitótica - entre cromossomos homólogos - foi o evento responsável por, aproximadamente, 62 a 100% da toxicidade genética observada. A comparação do potencial genotóxico dos diferentes análogos, através da padronização do número de danos genéticos por unidade de tratamento (mM), caracterizou a ACLA e o THP como as drogas mais potentes – sendo cerca de 20 vezes mais efetivas, como genotoxinas, do que a DOX, o análogo menos potente. Já que a principal ação genotóxica desta família de compostos está relacionada à inibição da topoisomerase II (topo II) – uma enzima que atua no relaxamento da supertorção da dupla hélice de DNA, através da quebra e posterior religação de suas fitas - as diferenças observadas podem ser atribuídas ao mecanismo envolvido neste bloqueio Enquanto os análogos DOX, DNR, EPI, IDA e THP atuam como venenos de topo II - tornando permanentes as quebras induzidas pela enzima - a ACLA inibe a função catalítica desta enzima, impedindo a sua ligação ao DNA. Cabe ainda ressaltar que a genotoxicidade da ACLA não está restrita à sua atividade catalítica sobre a topo II, mas também à sua ação como veneno de topo I e à sua habilidade de intercalar-se na molécula de DNA. Quando a potência genotóxica destas drogas foi associada a suas estruturas químicas, observou-se que substituições no grupamento amino-açúcar levaram a uma maior atividade tóxico-genética, quando comparadas a modificações no cromóforo. Cabe ainda ressaltar que as modificações estruturais, presentes nos análogos DOX, DNR, EPI, IDA e THP, não alteraram a sua ação recombinogênica. No entanto, no que se refere a ACLA, observaram-se decréscimos significativos na indução de recombinação mitótica - que podem ser atribuídas às múltiplas substituições presentes tanto no grupamento amino-açúcar quanto no cromóforo. O conjunto destas observações evidencia que a genotoxicidade total das drogas em estudo está centrada na indução de recombinação homóloga - um evento predominantemente envolvido tanto na iniciação, quanto na progressão do câncer. A alta incidência de tumores secundários, em pacientes submetidos ao tratamento com as antraciclinas, pode, pois, ser atribuída à ação preferencial destas drogas sobre a recombinação mitótica – embora a atividade mutagênica não possa ser desconsiderada.

A compreensão do corpo na formação profissional do fisioterapeuta

Physical therapy has suffered of a mechanistic influence, with the superspecialization and fragmentation of learning, which interfers directly in the professional s understanding of the body, besides affecting his therapeutic performance. Worried about this reality, this research analyzed perceptions of Physical therapy students from Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte and Universidade Potiguar about the human body. This is a descriptive study where 167 students were evaluated through objective and subjective responses to questionnaires designited QUEB Questionnare of understanding body evaluation. Searching the complement of the datas the QUEB open-ended was created, which gives freedom to students to answer freely. This questionnnaire was applicated on a subgroup composed by 21 students of the Health Sociology subject of the Physical therapy course. The validation process of these questionnaires included strategies of a panel of experts and face validity. The theorical reference analyzed based on the studies which favor the rejoining of knowledge represented by transdisciplinary support. The analysis of the results were performed quantitativavely and qualitatively through categorization of the responses selectioning key-words and the most expressive discourses , besides using descritive statistics interpretation. According to the responses, the body thought only thought biologically, ignoring the understanding of man as a cultural and social construction, confirming the presence of the reductionist model, with overvalorization of early specialization, technical training and purely biological and mechanical considerations of the body and its mobility. Probably, the dialogic knowledge of the body human inside Physical Therapist s learning can promote a growth of health s concept and a true activeness of Physical therapy on it, being the body a link with social environment. So, through understanding of the body as a complex form, the physical therapy will be able to attend your patients considerating their biological characteristics, but so the religious, political, social and ethics. Finally, this reflection suggests a search for a less technical vision, which allows the professional to discern more than segments of the body and which will contribute to a wider understanding of the patient and his social context, leading to greater humanization of the body , improvement in services and consequently, in the quality of life of these patients

Tecendo Papéis:viagem pelos saberes e práticas do ensino de arte

Nowdays, recycling became a relevant social and educational aim among many other factors, which involve balance between man and nature. This study relates the experiences with the production of recycled handmade paper directed at the teaching in Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte UFRN, and through workshops of carnauba recycled handcrafts papers as a pioneer activity accomplished at the Felix Rodrigues Foundation, in the city of Pendências, Açu Valley, Rio Grande do Norte. A bibliographic review was done about the history of handmade paper and a discussion about carnauba´s paper artistic possibilities in art-education. Analyses within the context of art teaching, accordingly to Ana Mae Barbosa´s triangle propose and, also, Buoro, Ostrower and Nachmanovitch´s pedagogy of art. It deals with a group of artisans in order to establish the nature of their relationship and the possibilities of achieving more ecological awareness. Finally, we intend to realize a dialogue with Morin and other authors

Canções no ensino de sociologia: reflexões e aplicação

As Sociology becomes a mandatory subject in the curricular componentof Brazilian high schools, we find anopportune moment to proposals and changes in the subject and in teaching, in a general aspect. It s noticed the great importance of the role that the create imagination plays in individual s formation (BACHELARD), and it s also seen that Brazilian education system has marginalized imagination to the detriment of a unifocused scientism that sterilizes creativity, playfulness and poetry in its educational process. Nevertheless, a way of thinking redefinitions to the educational horizons of Sociology as a subject and education is upheld. An educational practice that reconnects the prosaic and the poetic, using images/songs as paths/strategies of the teaching-learning process. As for that, the school structure was used where the tutor work was done to undertake experiences that made the use of songs as strategy to facilitate/stimulate the learning of the subject Sociology in high school. From thoughts and results of this experience, plus the bibliographic studies, analysis were made. The goal of this essay is to make use and stimulate the creation of poetic images from the teaching point of view, specially the Sociology subject in high school, rethinking and searching more efficient and playful ways of approaching and building educational methods from images; stimulating the development of the Thinking Reform and the Anthropoetics of the human gender (MORIN); acknowledging that imagination is an indispensable part of our integral formation

Clara Nunes como obra de arte: a epistemologia das ciências humanas a partir da cultura musical

The thesis has its largest array in the reorganization of science that is built from the middle of the last century and its horizon reconnection between scientific culture and humanistic culture, and the dialogue between science, art and literature. This epistemological regeneration view of the scientific paradigm incorporates the poetic language and sociological analysis, and brings out a complex, open and transdisciplinary narrative. To undertake this exercise as interlocutors we have thinkers like Nietzsche, Lévi-Strauss, Edgar Morin and Bruno Latour, to name a few, and as a reference for analyzing the entire artistic production of one of the icons of Brazilian music, Clara Nunes. It is problematized up in this work, through the singer s discography, lyrics and fragments of her biography, the construction of a social character that politicized culture, increased the mestizo consciousness of popular imagery, and exceeded the excessively prosaic narratives of the academic and scientific culture. The central argument of the thesis recognizes a Hybrid Subject Clara Nunes, as indeed is what is expected of the politically engaged intellectual in the 21st century

Saberes da pesca: uma arqueologia da ciência da tradição

This essay presents and discusses knowledge obtained through tradition taken as knowledge built along generations, transmitted from mouth to mouth and everyday experiences result of a non-scientific knowledge based on observation and hints given by more experient generations. The referred icon used to develop such a discussion in this essay is fishing. We point out the knoledge which enables the fishermen, among other dominions, to: find out the fish and other animals feeding habits; find their way through by astral influence during night navigation and learn the tide flowing based on the moon cycle. On what comes to fishing knowledge, the research was organized based on a bibliographic study about several ways of fishing in the Northern, Northeastern, Southern and Southestern regions of Brazil. In the Northern and Northeastern regions, the field research was also focused. Having interviews, photographs and films as reference, this part of the research was divided into two parts: the first one situated in the Amazonian Region in na area called Baixo-Tocantins, in the State of Pará where we worked with fishermen in the small towns of Abaetetuba and Igarapé-Miri; and the second one was held in the Northeastern region of Brazil, in the State of Rio Grande do Norte, where we worked with fishermen on the Piató Lake, in the small city of Assú. We tarted discussing based on a descriptive study of the fishing techniques used, aiming to identify them as an ordered activity, differed and classified by knoledge obtained through the years, based on the relationship between man and Nature. Creativity, stimulated by human curiosity, is also discussed and shown as a result of various fishing journeys. The myths, as a component of the fishing world, especially those which describe the relationship between men and waters, also have an outstanding place. At last, two fishing techniques belonging to the research field reference, are also described and analysed under the focus of construction and systematization of the knowledge related to fishing. The theory approach is based on reflection upon the tradition knowledge discussed by Almeida (2001), Balandier (1997), Câmara Cascudo (1957, 2000, 2002) and Claude Lévi-Strauss (1976, 1987 and 1991). The essay is an exercise of knowledge production which defends the "relink" of knowledge, as Edgar Morin suggests when dealing with the sciences of complexity

A Poética do corpo no mito e na dança butô: por uma educação sensível

The thesis presents the body poetry and its inscribing in the myth and Butô dance. The argumentation highlights the sensitive dimension present in these itineraries, as a possibility to operate the emergency of knowing inscribed in the body, bringing a kind of rationality that links the fragments, that allows the knowing to break through the barriers of disciplinary isolation, that abandons the certainties and goes through the ways of creation and that gives the body new space and time, featuring epistemological elements, ethical and esthetical, that can permit a sensitive education. All along the way, we comprehend by sensitive education, a education that considers the relinking of logical, analogical, symbolic and artistic knowledge and therefore reconsiders the own act of knowing as a continuous and inconcluded process. That sensitive education is also understood as retaking the body experience, its sensitive nature, as well as being meaningful to reading the world. It includes the body memory, its history and creativity, opening it to innovation, change, sense amplification and dialogue with other bodies and world, because it is within them. It is about an investigation of phenomenologic nature, that dialogues philosophy and art, pointing breakdowns of this reflection foe the body and education studies. We find it necessary to notice the body language, that allows one to think through movements, articulate a thought that is risen from articulations, guts and all the body. This incarnated reason starts the expressive body action, that makes us move to mean, communicate, inaugurate senses. Among these senses, we present a possibility of approach of the elements of Butô dance teaching and physical education, as ways of sensitive education showings of body poetry

Aprendendo a pertencer: uma leitura da trezena de Santo Antônio em Pradoso enquanto territorialidade humana

The Novena of St. Anthony in Pradoso, is an annual celebration that takes place between June 1 and June 13. Since its preparation to the conclusion of the celebration are employed traditional knowledges and techniques, which are shared by the community. Such knowledges, built over generations, associated with popular religion, form it into the educational processes that build, through orality, practices and experiences of everyday life, the sense of belonging. An analysis of scenes, knowledges and subjects involved in the celebration, shows the form and content of practices capable of building symbolic territories of belonging. Thus, the Novena of St. Anthony in Pradoso, while an human territoriality, is designed as a locus of learning of belonging, reaffirming community values such as solidarity, service, brotherhood, integration, among others. While empirical reference for an analysis of the importance of belonging, the Novena of St. Anthony in Pradoso, offers subsidies for the production of knowledge, focused on understanding the need for a reconnection of technical and humanistic knowledges

Mala na mão, pé na estrada: à procura de uma pedagogia das singularidades

We make many journeys during our lifetime. In each of them we accumulate experiences that result in an amount of knowledge that constitutes our history. The dissertation presents one of these journeys: that one I took along with students of Pedagogia da Terra project from Universidade do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte UERN to think about the knowledge within their memories in their way from countryside to city seeking for education. I used as main references to this task the ideas of Edgar Morin about Method as Strategy, implication of the subject in knowledge, pertinent knowledge, and knowledge reconnection. And from Paulo Freire I used the concepts of cultural identity assumption and dialog. I built as resource of method the metaphor of the suitcase, called by me the trunk of memory treasures . The use of this cognitive operator makes possible for those students bring their memories to the surface and share them collectively, by the process I name as auto-social- biographical narratives. The explicitness of the memories they choose to reveal by means of these narratives permitted me to understand the metamorphosis of these knowledge since their childhood to nowadays. In order to present an archeology of knowledge within these life histories I chose a narrative writing style concerned with simplicity and lightness, where I use the description of facts and discussions occurred during this journey. My main arguments in systematizing this experience are: scientific production can and should be grounded on knowledge diversity and on a more sensible approach to phenomena; education and pedagogy need to take as starting point and fuel for their practices the singularities of the subjects, their life history, educational background and knowledge resulting from both. Teacher s formation programs which students have mixed, rural and urban, background should value cognitive experiences built in the interaction with that knowledge closer of a sensible logic, deeper grounded in land and nature. Doing so, education can contribute to join diverse knowledge against monocutural forms of thinking and educational practices
