El porvenir del programa institucional de la Universidad de Buenos Aires : Un acercamiento a la figura de Reisieri Frondizi

Las Universidades públicas en América Latina se enfrentan a nuevos dilemas y problemas en un escenario de globalización académica, tendencias a la transnacionalización y privatización de la educación universitaria y a la descapitalización del sistema público. El tiempo presente invita a explorar lo que Francois Duber denominó como el proceso de declive de las instituciones modernas. En tanto ese declive se vincula con la sobrevivencia precaria proponemos explorar el caso de la Universidad de Buenos Aires. Nuestro objetivo es indagar en qué período histórico quedó localizado el programa institucional y cuáles de sus improntas permanecen hoy, deteniéndonos en el ciclo que la historiografía sobre la Universidad argentina identifica como de renovación y modernización universitaria (1955-1966). Para ello exploraremos la obra escrita y la trayectoria de Risieri Frondizi, una figura de notorio prestigio, a la vez olvidada pero omnipresente en toda reflexión sobre la Universidad.

La izquierda sin coyuntura

En este texto analizamos el rol desempeñando por formaciones políticas e intelectuales de la izquierda argentina frente a la experiencia kirchnerista y especialmente frente a las elecciones que determinaron el acceso al poder del partido de Mauricio Macri. Argumentamos que la ausencia de un pensamiento de la coyuntura condujo a dichas formaciones a desarrollar posicionamientos regresivos frente a una experiencia política que produjo mejoras significativas en amplios sectores de la sociedad argentina

Da luta pela terra à territorialização quilombola: o caso da comunidade Porto Velho, Iporanga/SP

As mudanças nas formas de apropriação do espaço na região do Vale do Ribeira têm proporcionado metamorfoses da territorialidade de populações camponesas. É nessa conjuntura que a luta pela terra de trabalho ganha nova expressão: resistência e permanência no território ancestral por meio da construção da identidade quilombola. Portanto, a territorialização da comunidade remanescente de quilombo Porto Velho é analisada frente aos desafios e estratégias de resistência para permanecer no território ancestral. O histórico de origem deste bairro rural identifica estes sujeitos sociais como descendentes dos escravos que habitavam estas terras desde 1860. Todavia, entre as décadas de 1950 e 1980, houve um período importante de submissão e relações de trabalho precárias a fazendeiros e terceiros. No final dos anos 1980, os camponeses enfrentaram ameaças que culminaram em expropriações e expulsões de boa parte dos quilombolas do território. No contexto marcado pela emergência do conflito, o grupo negro se organiza e inicia a luta pela terra com apoio da Pastoral da Terra, MOAB e EAACONE. A pesquisa sobre a população remanescente de quilombo Porto Velho, situada no município de Iporanga (SP), refletiu a perspectiva geográfica de como estes sujeitos sociais constroem suas relações no território quilombola, sua organização comunitária e sociabilidade, e as transformações no âmbito material e imaterial. Trata-se de um estudo cuja metodologia é constituída por trabalhos de campo, entrevistas, pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. O estudo realizado identificou a complexidade do processo de transformação deste território quilombola na busca por autonomia e liberdade. Os impactos de novas demandas, justapostas sobre o território e sobre a vida destes sujeitos sociais, trouxeram a necessidade de criar e recriar estratégias para a conservação de costumes e de luta pela terra e permanência no território que habitam há gerações. Entende-se que neste processo de conflitos por terra, a lógica imposta pelo capital não só provocou forte transformação no território ancestral, como ofereceu situação de risco social e cultural à própria sobrevivência da comunidade quilombola.

Culture and World Vision: The Cognitive Mythical Mode

Culture is the system of knowledge, from whose meanings the human being screened and selected their understanding of Reality in the broad sense, and interprets and regulates the facts and data of social behavior. In this sense, culture is a program for social action and acting in humans during the process of socialization and social interaction. The meanings of each culture are the cumulative product of collective and individual thinking, in ecological economic, social and political specific situations, so are the expression of each particular cultural historical conjuncture. Moreover, the universal cognitive structure for the apprehension of cultural reality is the World Vision (WV). Due to its importance and significance as substratum of religious and political belief systems, we will gird our study to mythical cognitive mode or mythical WV.

REVISTA SENHOR: MODERNIDADE E CULTURA NA IMPRENSA BRASILEIRA

Revista Senhor: modernidade e cultura na imprensa brasileira tem como objetivo resgatar a história de uma publicação que marcou época. Produzida no período de 1959 a 1964, a revista demonstrou seu papel como um espaço central de discussão de temas culturais. Fruto de uma conjuntura específica, SENHOR portou-se como uma enciclopédia dos anos 50 e início dos anos 60, divulgando, no conjunto de reportagens que produziu, crônicas, ensaios, críticas e artigos, os valores e os movimentos culturais vigentes, muitas vezes expressando novas formas de comportamento, consideradas avançadas então. A metodologia usada na pesquisa é a da análise descritiva e qualitativa do conteúdo das matérias publicadas e o enfoque teórico está baseado nos pressupostos da interdisciplinaridade da corrente dos Estudos Culturais. As conclusões apontaram a caracterização da revista como uma publicação que traduz o Jornalismo Cultural formativo, voltada a pessoas intelectualizadas ou chamadas multiplicadoras de opinião, revelando-se como uma das mais importantes revistas consideradas "cultas" do mercado brasileiro. Foi uma revista dirigida redominantemente para um público masculino elitizado culturalmente e/ou economicamente. Concebe-se ainda a idéia de que SENHOR, por seu projeto gráfico e editorial, esteve na vanguarda das publicações brasileiras de todos os tempos.(AU)

Cracking capitalist realism: the new student movement and its post-capitalist politics

There is much talk of =the crisis‘ in higher education, often expressed in fatalistic narratives about the (im)possibility of critical resistance or alternatives to the deepening domination of neoliberal rationality and capitalist power throughout social life. But how precisely are we to make sense of this situation? In what ways is it experienced? And what knowledges and practices may help us to respond? These questions form the basis for a series of explorations of the history and character of this crisis, the particular historical conjuncture that we occupy today, and the different types of theoretical analysis and political response it seems to be engendering. Our talk will explore the tensions between readings of the situation as a paralyzing experience of domination, loss and impossibility, on the one hand, and radical transformation and the opening of future possibilities, on the other. We will finally consider what implications new forms of political theory being created in the new student movements have for reconceptualising praxis in higher education today, and perhaps for a wider imagination of post-capitalist politics.

Políticas públicas, desenvolvimento local e participação social nas instâncias de governança associadas ao turismo no Rio Grande do Norte

In contemporary dynamics, a change is observed in the institutional structure of the state, culminating in several policies for the tourist sector which promote a new management format. The from this view, the Tourism Regionalization Macro Program (TRP), considered a significant program to Ministry of Tourism, arose as an answer to this new reality, having as strategy a joint working of structuring and promotion turned at decentralization of actions, valuing the residents participation in the search of the permanent dialogue between peers and revaluation of places and territories, based in the regionalization process. Based on this bias, this study aims to examine the role of the Tourism State Council of Rio Grande do Norte, with regard to the tourism planning, trying to understand it and solve it as governance Instance, through the Tourism Regionalization Program interventions, given the participation context of its actors and agents. For purposes of this study is delimited as time frame the year 2007 at 2014, understanding that it was this time, there was greater council members accession, as well as different types of sectors representation of civil society, as a result of a tourism public policy based on principles of innovation and participation. In relation to the research problem, this study is conceptualized as a qualitative and the chosen method is the materialist dialectic. Still on the methodological options, utilize the Content Analysis. The results show that the institutionalization of governance instance as the Conetur does not contributes, ideally, in the planning and management process of participatory and integrated tourist activity, facing a fair direction of your space production. The research indicates that there are debates, discussions and guidelines (still in a timely and targeted form), but not reverberates practical effects, by act in a conjuncture that Is strategically designed for political and economic power game, setting the hegemonic actors performance, which uses this arena to instill personal desires and wishes, that are decided in absentia to the council.

A organização da educação no território federal do Amapá: do "ideal" ao real, do liberal ao conservador (1943-1958)

The present study on “organization education on Amapá’s Federal Territory (1943-1958)”, looked forward to answering the following questions: Was there an educational policy, in a systemic way, on the former Amapá’s federal territory? On the other hand, what were the main initiatives of the first intervenors for the education dissemination? After facing these questions, we established, as hypothesis, that the developed actions in the education’s scope on that territory back in the 40’s and 50’s were not able to implant an educational project in Amapá, since there was no preoccupation to understanding the sociocultural reality of Amapá’s population. Given this hypothesis, we analyzed the relation between the political practices developed by the first intervenor on the territory and the brazilian political scenario, from the legal-administrative nature of the federal entities and political conjuncture of the “New State” (1937-1945). To achieve that, we sought some similarities between Janary Gentil Nunes’s ways of governing and Getúlio Vargas’s political actions. To make this happen, it was necessary to check official documents out, as well as unofficial ones, especially the old articles published by “Amapá”, the local newspaper, official press tool back then, which disseminated the beliefs and values of the constituted authorities, with the purpose of “strengthen” the “modernization” ideal on the people. Such practice was based on the attempt of breaking off sociocultural economic backwardness of the territory, hiding out the reality of the Amapá’s population, marked by poverty, a high illiteracy rate and the typical tropical diseases from Amazon (Malaria). During the rupture’s process between the old and the modern, the education takes on a major role in the official speech, being used as political advertisement and as essential element to the modernization and to the development of a “new man”: now “civilized”. However, the investigation on the expansion of the elementary education in Amapá, showed us the presence of a significant number of rural schools, in contradiction to the disseminated urban modernization promise around there. In this sense, we can affirm that educational policy on Amapá’s territory failed by reasons of being based on the “transplantation” of the Federal District’s educational project, and it is important to recall that, back then, the brazilian Federal District was Rio de Janeiro. Despite the public agents had established uncountable schools on rural areas, these were not carried out from a more systemic process, this is, considering the reality of the Amazon’s "cabloco". So, we observed the existence of the separation between the modern speech and the maintenance of old oligarchic practices by that time.

Weathering the crisis? Managing democracy at a national broadcaster

With post-2008 political and economic crises as its backdrop, this inquiry into the political roles and functions of public service broadcasting (PSB) in Ireland is principally concerned with examining the capacities for and actuality of critical and counter-hegemonic professional journalistic and institutional mediations of crisis. Recognising the diversity of influences on the normative identity of Irish PSB, the dissertation adopts a sociological approach that acknowledges the systemic embedding of media institutions in the broader field of power. An initial tracing of the formative impacts of endogenous and exogenous forces on the democratic horizons of PSB suggests that the present crisis conjuncture does not represent promising terrain for engendering critical crisis and recovery imaginaries. A methodologically diverse intra-institutional empirical research agenda aims to explore at close hand Irish PSB’s contingent navigation of crisis, encompassing ethnographic observation in the newsroom, practitioner interviews and textual analysis of broadcast output. These methods afford close analysis of practices of journalistic production and reflexivity, self-conceptions of the journalistic habitus, and ideological affinities of crisis framings in broadcast output. These analyses are supplemented by a participant observation study of the possibilities for public agenda-building in a key institutional venue of public participation in broadcasting governance. The findings offer an evidential basis for the arguments that the crisis has prompted only minimal changes to professional norms and practices of representation and inclusion; that journalistic crisis framings tend toward effecting hegemonic repair by lending support to neoliberal crisis and recovery imaginaries; and that the institutional openings for the building of public counterpower are highly constrained. The overall conclusion is made that the normative democratic orientation embedded in the professional and institutional projects of public service broadcasting help render it ill-equipped to act as a re-democratising countervailing power against the democratic regressions engendered by the present crisis of democratic capitalism.

The elderly care and domestic services sector during the recent economic crisis. The case of Italy, Spain and France.

Over the past ten years in Italy, Spain and France, the demographic pressure and the increasing women’s participation in labour market have fuelled the expansion of the private provision of domestic and care services. In order to ensure the difficult balance between affordability, quality and job creation, each countries’ response has been different. France has developed policies to sustain the demand side introducing instruments such as vouchers and fiscal schemes, since the mid of the 2000s. Massive public funding has contributed to foster a regular market of domestic and care services and France is often presented as a “best practices” of those policies aimed at encouraging a regular private sector. Conversely in Italy and Spain, the development of a private domestic and care market has been mostly uncontrolled and without a coherent institutional design: the osmosis between a large informal market and the regular private care sector has been ensured on the supply side by migrant workers’ regularizations or the introduction of new employment regulations . The analysis presented in this paper aims to describe the response of these different policies to the challenges imposed by the current economic crisis. In dealing with the retrenchment of public expenditure and the reduced households’ purchasing power, Italy, Spain and France are experiencing greater difficulties in ensuring a regular private sector of domestic and care services. In light of that, the paper analyses the recent economic conjuncture presenting some assumptions about the future risk of deeper inequalities rising along with the increase of the process of marketization of domestic and care services in all the countries under analysis.    

As vozes testemunhais em Longe de Manaus

A presente dissertação consiste na análise do romance Longe de Manaus, de Francisco José Viegas, publicado em 2005, em Portugal. O trabalho tem como objetivo responder ao questionamento de quais são as funções dos testemunhos na refiguração do tempo e na narração do passado? No âmbito teórico, analisa os atos de testemunhar e narrar associados ao conceito de memória e à ideia de distância a partir das abordagens de Paul Ricoeur e das contribuições de Carlo Guinzburg, de modo a relacionar a tradição do olhar interior com o exterior. Nos dois casos, a leitura de Agostinho se faz presente, pois o filósofo inaugura a memória como um produto da linguagem e preconiza a busca dos vestígios nos fenômenos mnemônicos. O contexto de produção é introduzido com as proposições de Eduardo Lourenço sobre a identidade nacional portuguesa, com a definição de sul proposta por Boaventura de Souza Santos e pelas colocações de Edgar Morin acerca do marxismo na atualidade, além de retomar a conjuntura da década de 1970 tendo em vista as pesquisas dos historiadores Eric Hobsbawn e Majhemout Diop, que estudaram o neocolonialismo. No âmbito analítico, é interpretada a organização cíclica do romance que entrecruza personagens e vozes narrativas de espaços e temporalidades diferentes, com a finalidade de abordar como a pobreza e a violência podem ser fatores constantes na África da década de 1970, sob o domínio imperial lusitano, ou nas cidades do Porto, São Paulo e Manaus contemporâneas. O narrador apresenta problemas sociais em Portugal, nos anos 2000, atrelados às politicas econômicas e à entrada de imigrantes do sul; concomitantemente, o protagonista Jaime Ramos debate a sua sociedade a partir de dois critérios: o de identidade nacional portuguesa, segundo o critério levantado por ele de solidão, e o de defesa da luta de classes como fator primordial para compreender os assassinatos investigados pela personagem. O estudo articula as noções de memória e literatura com a finalidade de analisar as estratégias narrativas presentes em Longe de Manaus.

EL ANÁLISIS DE COYUNTURA DESDE LA PERSPECTIVA DE UNA ECONOMÍA PARA LA VIDA

Resumen Analizar la coyuntura económica, social y ambiental desde la perspectiva de una economía para la vida exige objetividad científica y un compromiso político con el bien común. Además, no es un análisis desde “lo económico” o desde “lo social”. Se trata de un análisis desde los efectos (directos e indirectos, intencionales y no intencionales) que las tendencias hacia la irracionalidad del sistema capitalista provocan sobre el ser humano y el medio ambiente. Hablamos de estos efectos como “desequilibrios”. Desequilibrios en las relaciones humanas, el empleo, la distribución, el consumo, la personalidad, la sustentabilidad ambiental, las amenazas globales o planetarias, etc. En resumen, un análisis que se centra en los efectos de la dinámica socioeconómica en el ser humano y la naturaleza.   Abstract Monitoring the economic, social and environmental conjuncture from a Life Economics perspective requires both, scientific objectivity and a political commitment with the common good. Moreover, it is not an analysis from a particular economic or social view. It is an analysis from the effects (direct, indirect, intentional and non-intentional) that irrationality trends of capitalism cause on human being and nature. We talk about these effects as “disequilibriums”. These are disequilibriums in human relationships, employment, income distribution, consumption, personality, development, environment, and global or planetary threats, and so on. As a summary, we suggest an analysis focused on the social dynamic effects upon human being and nature.
