The debt crisis: a re-appraisal

The 1980s' debt crisis is a landmark in developing economies' growth and stabilization. According to the most quoted empirical articles, external shocks and vicissitudes gave rise to crisis just because of delays in stabilization policies, engendered by internal conflicts and institutional immaturity. I review some of these papers, and find out some problems - in the measurement of shocks and foreign indebtedness, namely - whose corrections lead to opposite results: external shocks and foreign indebtedness explain that crisis regardless of domestic policies. At the same time, the strong correlation of income distribution to terms of trade changes and foreign indebtedness suggest that inequality may have contributed differently to that crisis: either through an economic channel, or through a political channel based on delays in reforms.

SPATIAL-ORGANIZATION OF FORAGING ACTIVITY AND COLONIZATION BY COLONY EMIGRATION IN THE PHARAOH ANT, MONOMORIUM-PHARAONIS

Using food bait stations and colony trap nests, the spatial relation between the foraging activity of established colonies of the polygynous and unicolonial exotic pharaoh's ant, Monomorium pharaonis, and colonization by colony fragments was studied over an 8 month period in a large institutional setting in Brazil. Both foraging activity and colonizations demonstrated significant spatial clumping. However, colonizations were significantly negatively clumped spatially with respect to foraging activity. This suggests that the colonization strategy of this species under the studied conditions was that of complete habitat domination.

O processo de (re)construção da teoria do conceito no domínio de Organização do Conhecimento: Uma visão dialógica

The search for a dialogical interpretation on the concept theory is the purpose of this paper. It uses the concept of dialogism, proposed by Bakhtin, which refers to the interaction occurring among the social actors in the process of (re)construction of language. Starting from the analysis of texts on concept theory authored by Dahlberg, Hjorland, Tennis and Tennis and Sutton, the convergent, divergent and complementary aspects related to the concepts advocated by the authors are discussed. The analysis revealed that, although these concepts have been built individually, they are reflections of distinct currents of thought and of the historical moments that have influenced each author's ideas. It can be argued, therefore, that the studied concepts were developed on dialogue with other authors and among themselves.

A Política educacional para o Maranhão: uma (re)visão nas diretrizes e estratégias para a reestruturação do ensino médio

A presente dissertação objetiva analisar as mediações entendidas como mecanismos e ações propostas pela SEDUC/MA, a partir da LDB - Lei nº 9.394/96, das DCNEM, dos PCNEM e das Diretrizes e Estratégias para a Política Educacional do Estado do Maranhão, que orientaram a reestruturação do ensino médio. Explicita os fundamentos e os princípios da reforma do ensino médio levando em consideração o contexto socioeconômico e político que influenciaram a definição de políticas e diretrizes educacionais desde os anos de 1990; analisa as diretrizes e estratégias definidoras da política educacional no Estado e verifica a implementação das mediações adotadas pela SEDUC/MA para concretização dessa política. É uma pesquisa documental de cunho qualitativo, fundamentada no materialismo histórico dialético, tendo como procedimentos a revisão da literatura, a análise documental e a análise dos mecanismos e ações que foram adotas pela Secretaria para a implementação de sua política de ensino médio. No percurso do estudo, ficou evidenciada a influência do contexto global de mundialização do capital e de reestruturação produtiva, bem como as políticas educacionais em nível nacional sobre a política educacional maranhense. Tais influências foram explicitadas nos diplomas legais que indicaram os princípios e as diretrizes que orientaram a organização administrativa e pedagógica dos sistemas de ensino e das escolas, com destaque para a interdisciplinaridade, a contextualização e a formação de competências. O estudo demonstrou, ainda, que as diretrizes e estratégias que nortearam a política educacional do Estado do Maranhão e os mecanismos implementados para a sua efetivação - os Referenciais Curriculares do Ensino Médio, as Diretrizes para a Avaliação da Aprendizagem e o Plano de Formação -, apresentaram fragilidades em suas concepções e em seu processo de implementação com reflexo nos indicadores de desempenho escolar. Também revelou que estas estratégias não produziram a qualificação do ensino médio no Estado.

A formulação de uma corrente urbanística: uma (re)visita às teses de Anhaia Mello para São Paulo

The present article aims to elaborate an objective analytical panel, initially from the 1920- 1930 when Luiz Ignácio Romeiro de Anhaia Mello, cathedratic in the urban question, started to quote a series of authors and American plans as references to their reflections, mainly when the point was the verticalization or not at São Paulo City. From a broad bibliographic research with the systematization of the register from the debate between Anhaia Mello, this article intends to point out how the transposition of the urbanistic conceptions to the academic environment happened and, at the same time, the legal normatization of the São Paulo City that resulted in the creation of a draft of the regulations for use and occupation of the soil. The systematizations and analysis were based in a broad reading of the bibliography and documental sources that refer to the proposed theme. The books of the library of FAU-USP, specifically the one from SAGMACS – Sociedade de Análises Gráficas e Mecanográficas Aplicadas aos Complexos Sociais ( Society of Graphical Mechanical-Graphic Analysis Applied to Social Complexes) -, aiming to select papers and the collection of Anhaia Mello´s family, so that a reconstruction of the intellectual and professional journey of the Urbanism Professor. The systematization of the collected data and posterior comparison with the bibliographical study was fundamental for the reconstruction of the reflection of Anhaia Mello about the ways of the urban streets and roads at Sao Paulo City should be lead to on the middle of the XX century having as a guideline the debate between Anhaia Mello – very common on the 1950s for less important countries when dealing with the organization of the size of industrial metropolis. It was possible to identify the crystallization of one urbanistic proposal for the city: the from Anhaia Mello, that bet on the reversion of the metropolitan cycle by stopping the urban growth by the application of the theoretical conception of the garden city.

Pérola gera arte: (re)ações entre gêneros

This paper is part of a larger project. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the movie Girl With a Pearl Earring (2003) by Peter Webber using the theoretical perspective of dialogue from the Bakhtin Circle, Medved, Volochinov. The multidisciplinary and interartistic potential of cinema is considered in this paper when the linguistic organization and the translinguistic elements in the corpus are focused on and understood as an example of cinema genre as discussed in the Russian Circle. The study of the ways of incorporation of different genericities by cinema, illustrated by the dialogues between the pictorial genre, the novel and the movies contribute to the recognition of the cinema as a genre that is composed by the incorporation of other genres. The construction of the cinematographic work in analysis will be regarded in its architectonic (form, content and style) and in the activity field in which it circulates.
