O lugar do encontro: o Centro de Artes da Maré e a trajetória de jovens na Nova Holanda

A presente pesquisa aborda a trajetória de jovens frequentadores do Centro de Artes da Maré, equipamento cultural localizado na Nova Holanda uma das 16 comunidades que compõem o Complexo da Maré no Rio de Janeiro. Apresenta um breve histórico de configuração deste território e tem por objetivo principal perceber o significado do Centro de Artes da Maré e das atividades lá desenvolvidas na vida cotidiana de alguns jovens moradores. A pesquisa possui enfoque na perspectiva etnográfica, reforçando a importância da prática de observação e do trabalho de campo. Não parte de hipóteses fechadas e em suas considerações finais destaca aspectos tais como: identidade e pertencimento, conhecimento através da experiência e criação, mobilidade espacial e socialização, e de que forma estes aspectos fazem do CAM um espaço de convivência e promovem a conquista da cidadania cultural

Para onde vamos com o sequestro de carbono? A rede sociotécnica do carbono assimilado por manguezais

O presente estudo defende a tese de que o desenvolvimento da capacidade de abordar a realidade de forma integrada, através de exercícios interdisciplinares e/ou transdisciplinares, torna a ciência mais interessante, completa e, ao mesmo tempo, mais comum. Para alcançá-la, em lugar de abordar o "estoque e sequestro de carbono em manguezais" como um objeto de estudo natural e pertinente às disciplinas Oceanografia, Ecologia, Engenharia Florestal e outras do mesmo campo, optou-se por descrever a rede sociotécnica do carbono assimilado por manguezais. Trata-se de um mergulho na prática científica e de um rastreamento dos vínculos sociais criados e recriados por nossa relação com os objetos tecnocientíficos. O texto resultante destes movimentos que inclui desde estimadores de biomassa vegetal e povos das florestas, até a Convenção do Clima, grandes corporações "verdes" e inventários nacionais de emissões proporciona uma reflexão sobre a forma como a ciência se desenvolveu e tem se apresentado ao mundo contemporâneo (moderno), regulando a ordem política. E é exatamente para tal reflexão que a pergunta "Para onde vamos com o sequestro de carbono?" convida. Depois de percebermos o carbono como um híbrido de natureza e cultura em seus aspectos natural-social, científico-político e local-global , concluímos que o desenvolvimento de metodologias e a elaboração de estimativas de estoque e sequestro de carbono florestal podem ser um caminho para a mitigação do aquecimento global, desde que não sejam colocados de antemão como um conhecimento essencial para tal fim, e que, por ser natural/científico, subjuga os demais saberes

Fé na ponta dos dedos: cultura do encontro e produção de presença na jornada de Francisco

Ao propor que há mais lugar para a dimensão material do que o comumente ocupado por ela, a abordagem teórica das materialidades parece sugerir novas maneiras de pensar fenômenos, ao considerar a experiência sensorial requerida por eles e a demanda de um engajamento corpóreo na apreensão dos estímulos que emanam dessas interações. Nesse contexto, procuramos investigar as afinidades entre as proposições centrais da noção de produção de presença e a promoção de uma cultura do encontro proposta por Jorge Mário Bergoglio, o Papa Francisco, enquanto movimentos que privilegiam a experiência adquirida através dos corpos, do ambiente físico e da interação com objetos. A partir da observação de momentos específicos da visita do Papa ao Brasil, buscamos apreender de que forma esse processo é evidenciado (seja por meio de discursos, expressões visuais ou gestos) e parece corresponder a uma demanda contemporânea por eventos que recuperem uma dimensão espacial de nossa existência

Distribuição espacial da cultura de café no Estado de São Paulo.

Neste trabalho é analisada a distribuição espacial da cultura de café no Estado de São Paulo. O objetivo é subsidiar um plano de estratificação dos municípios produtores para fins de previsão de safra. Os métodos de análise espacial utilizados neste estudo são baseados nas estatísticas de Moran: índice global de associação espacial; índice local de associação espacial; e gráfico de espalhamento de Moran. Estes métodos permitem quantificar a dependência espacial de fenômenos geográficos e determinar a significância estatística dos agrupamentos espaciais. Foram utilizados dados do levantamento da Produção Agrícola Municipal - PAM - de 2004, produzidos pelo Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística - IBGE. O programa TerraView foi utilizado no cálculo dos índices e para visualização dos resultados. Os resultados indicam que é importante considerar a localização geográfica dos municípios, pois a produção de café apresentou dependência espacial e foram identificados agrupamentos de municípios com índices de associação espacial significantes. No futuro, será possível comparar a distribuição espacial do café com a de outras culturas agrícolas em São Paulo ou com a da mesma cultura em outros Estados, o que auxiliará no planejamento da estratificação, fase inicial da estimativa de área plantada.

Sports programs of the Spanish radio in the social network Facebook: compared study (2010-2015)

Social networks have increasingly become a showcase where the media can be promoted. Like many other media, radio stations have made use of social networks to promote themselves in a better way and, sometimes, to keep more feedback with their listeners. But not all programs make the same use and not all of them have managed to reach in the same way his followers. This article discusses the consolidation in the social networks of the major radio sports programs in Spain. Through a comparative analysis between 2010 and 2015, throughout the text, the authors have tried to observe the evolution of the programs and, at the same time, to establish comparisons between the followers that these programs have on social networks and the number of listeners as EGM.

Typical reggaeton in Morocco: forms of female political affirmation throught dance

Through an ethnographic account, this text analyses how social dance may become a discourse involving the cultural affirmation of a subordinate group. It describes how a group of girls faced with a complex of outlooks that construed them as Moroccan, Muslim or unattractive —or as objects of education and intervention— responded by affirming their own culture with an unanticipated corporal discourse. The way in which looking construes bodies is explored through metaphors: a hand that touches, a chisel that sculpts, a whip that lashes and a cobweb that controls and traps bodies. Owing to this political dimension of dance, workshops can also be an oppressive and silencing tool; to prevent this, the article concludes with a series of recommendations to implement dance in social intervention processes.

Journalistic genres in teaching of journalism in Spain. A historical review

This article shows the influence that journalistic genres had on the first organisation of communication studies in Spain as well as the role they remain to play in the teaching of journalism. A review is done starting from the origins of the didactics of genres, continuing with the role of genres in the beginning of regulated studies of journalism, and finalising with an analysis of their place in present education programmes which reveals that practical and theoretical knowledge of the genres are still a main objective in the training of future journalists in Spain.

Places making: participatory construction of scientifi c culture cities

In the framework of the European project Platform of Local Authorities and Communicators Engaged in Science (PLACES), we analyse the articulations between scientifi c communication, public perception of science, processes of citizen participation and apropiation of space, based on a case study of the inhabitants of Teruel city, Autonomous Community of Aragon, Spain. On the interrelationships between these issues, there are a number of contradictions, such as the difference between a high interest for information about science and technology and a low level of recognition and interaction with local institutions involved in those activities, the complex conceptualization of scientifi c space in relation to the “public-private” pair, or an articulation of a claiming civic rethoric and an insuffi cient co-responsibility. We conclude that, in a local context, the dimension of territoriality and, in particular, the identifi cation with the town, is a central mediation for activating citizen participation as part of processes of appropriation of space for setting up cities of scientifi c culture.

Unraveling EU Policies: the ““Common Basic Principles”” and the ““European Integration Fund”” as a technology of government

this paper is about EU “soft policies” on immigrant integration. It analyzes the “Common Basic Principles” (CBPs) and the “European Integration Fund” (EIF), two devices that have been recently established within this framework. It adopts the theoretical perspective of the “anthropology of policy” and “governmentality studies”. It shows the context of birth of the aforementioned devices, as well as their functioning and the assessment done by the actors implied in the elaboration/implementation/evaluation of the related policies. It is based both on documentary research as well as direct observation and interviews done to the actors implied. It concludes that the PBC and the EIF should be considered as a “technology of government”, that strives to align the conduct of the actors with the governmental aims, as well as it produces specific practices and knowledge. It also underlines an intrinsic feature of many policies: their “congenital failure”, since they are (often) disputed and resignified by situated actors, who are embedded in asymmetrical power relations.

De la cooperativa agroalimentaria a la "learning netchain". Hacia un planteamiento teorico interorganizativo e interpersonal

Se propone un planteamiento teórico/conceptual para determinar si las relaciones interorganizativas e interpersonales de la netchain de las cooperativas agroalimentarias evolucionan hacia una learning netchain. Las propuestas del trabajo muestran que el mayor grado de asociacionismo y la mayor cooperación/colaboración vertical a lo largo de la cadena están positivamente relacionados con la posición horizontal de la empresa focal más cercana del consumidor final. Esto requiere una planificación y una resolución de problemas de manera conjunta, lo que está positivamente relacionado con el mayor flujo y diversidad de la información/conocimiento obtenido y diseminado a lo largo de la netchain. Al mismo tiempo se necesita desarrollar un contexto social en el que fluya la información/conocimiento y las nuevas ideas de manera informal y esto se logra con redes personales y, principalmente, profesionales y con redes internas y, principalmente, externas. Todo esto permitirá una mayor satisfacción de los socios de la cooperativa agroalimentaria y de sus distribuidores y una mayor intensidad en I+D, convirtiéndose la netchain de la cooperativa agroalimentaria, así, en una learning netchain.

Reception and schooling of children in schools in Catalonia: Beyond Educational Welcome Facilities

The ways of incorporating newcoming students into schools and colleges have been at the center of debate in most OECD countries in recent years. In Spain, the set of measures developed for the reception of immigrant pupils in different Autonomous Communities has also been the subject of specific research, pointing out the similarities and contradictions between pedagogic discourses and school practices. This article takes into account these considerations and presents the reflections from the results of research on the Educational Welcome Facilities (and specifically the EBE) conducted during the school years 2008-2010. This device was created in Catalonia to attend newcomers before enrolling them in the school. It was a pilot project which took place in Vic and Reus for two consecutive years. The research of the EBE has enabled us to explain the relationship between educational assessment that schools made about this facility and reception processes that schools were implementing. The conclusions that emerge from this analysis allowed us to establish relationships between educational host practices of the seven centers analyzed with three different conceptual and educational frameworks of reception.

The "Art" of Criticism: Rubén Darío and his Unknown Chronicles of the 1895 Salon for "La Prensa"

With the impetus that has led recent studies on Latin American Modernism to a reevaluation of the sense of cultural fluxes from the modernity capitals to its peripheries –discarding categories such as “influence”, “exotism” and “ivory tower”, stereotypes that have clouded critical understanding of this aesthetics for decades- the present study intends to investigate a persistent practice of the main writers of the movement. This practice is modernist pictorial criticism, a genre that will be approached through the analysis of an unknown corpus: the seven chronicles Rubén Darío published in the journal La Prensa on occasion of the third art exposition of the Ateneo de Buenos Aires. Our hypothesis is that the rare creators of images portrayed by Darío by the end of 1895 work as a visual counterpoint of the eccentric writers’ biographical sketches that a year later will be part of the fundamental volume Los raros (1896). In this early “salon”, which we reproduce in its entirety, accompanied by explanatory notes, the leader of Modernism rehearses and consolidates his transcultural work with the universal tradition –now applied to the Salons (1845-1860) by Charles Baudelaire and to the monumental project by John Ruskin in Modern painters (1843-1860)- to legitimate, from another subgenre of Modernist criticism, a new figure of the critic, in dissent with the Enlightenment model of the writer.

Collaborative artistic laboratories. Transfrontier spaces of cultural production

The appearance of the open code paradigm and the demands of social movements have permeated the ways in which today’s cultural institutions are organized. This article analyzes the birth of a new critical and cooperative spatiality and how it is transforming current modes of cultural research and production. It centers on the potential for establishing the new means of cooperation that are being tested in what are defined as collaborative artistic laboratories. These are hybrid spaces of research and creation based on networked and cooperative structures producing a new societal-technical body that forces us to reconsider the traditional organic conditions of the productive scenarios of knowledge and artistic practice.

About infamy: the filthiness of Art and its diogenic disease

In this paper, we postulate the direct relationship that exists between waste production and artistic objects; its manufacturing system, consumption, and subsequent waste. What arises in this relationship then, is another character of interest –and that will serve as a reference to compare its modus operandi with the place of artists and the arts–, in this sick world, the Diogenes. The obsessed that lives among the garbage. The absurdity of the conquest of the infinite of the illogical within the logical. The amount clouded and blinded, nothing is enjoyed, nothing is appreciated; the countless abandons its place in the memory –memorable– and there only exists a pathological accumulation, mountains of garbage, desires to hold on to vital faith of the belief of doing Something for themselves. Working just to work and building something that will not last, like a sand castle, accumulation of detritus and dust. A new logic is born, the enjoyment of diseases and emptiness, the destruction of a world without a history. «Artists of the world, abandon! You have nothing to lose but your own professions!» (Kaprow, 2007, p. 37).

El diagnóstico de la crisis de la cultura en España: del recorte público a la crisis sistémica

Desde su invención en los años cincuenta, la política cultural ha sido objeto de análisis y reflexión por parte de las ciencias sociales. No obstante, en España presenta una serie de características diferenciadoras frente a las democracias occidentales europeas como consecuencia del periodo franquista. Con la recuperación de la democracia España adquiere el paradigma dominante de una política cultural democrática basada en la libertad, el pluralismo y el derecho a la cultura. Sin embargo, tras décadas de gobiernos democráticos el diagnóstico de la política cultural en España presenta rasgos de crisis sistémica, además de los efectos de la crisis global financiera de inicios del siglo XXI. En este contexto, los autores diagnostican, aplicando la metodología Delphi y recurriendo a fuentes secundarias, un conjunto de discursos sociales y narrativas que parecen funcionar como recursos cognitivos solucionistas en la esfera artística y cultural y que no están exentos de contradicciones y aporías, fruto de su contraste empírico.
