Liderazgo y Clima Organizacional en un Colegio de Cundinamarca. Lineamientos Básicos para su Intervención

El propósito de este estudio fue describir y analizar el liderazgo de los directivos y el clima organizacional presentes en un Colegio de Cundinamarca y con base en ello, plantear algunos lineamientos para su intervención. Para tal fin se desarrolló un estudio descriptivo, donde el liderazgo y el clima organizacional se midieron a través de dos instrumentos: el Test de Adjetivos de Pitcher (PAT) (Pitcher, 1997) y la Escala del Clima Organizacional (ECO) (Fernándes, 2008), respectivamente. La aplicación de estos instrumentos se realizó de forma colectiva, para lo cual se trabajó con los directivos, los docentes y los estudiantes de los grados noveno, décimo y undécimo del Colegio, que constituyeron el grupo estudiado. Para el caso de los educandos, los test se aplicaron con previo consentimiento de los padres. De acuerdo con los resultados, el Colegio estudiado denota ciertas dificultades respecto al liderazgo y algunos problemas de Clima Organizacional que deben ser intervenidos de manera prioritaria. La comunidad educativa estudiada registra una inconformidad mayoritaria en la forma en que se ejerce el liderazgo, bien sea por ausencia del mismo, o por ejercerse de formas no deseadas a la luz de las teorías y de la práctica.

Notas sobre la presencia mapuche en la literatura chilena (Crítica)

Mauricio Ostria revisa la manera en que el mapuche es presentado en la literatura chilena. Durante la Colonia, ciertos rasgos de los indios mapuches resaltados por La Araucana, de Alonso de Ercilla (valor, rebeldía, destino épico de resistencia), contribuyeron a configurar la identidad del pueblo chileno. Durante la república, la percepción camina entre la admiración y la conmiseración, y el desprecio por el excluido. En el siglo XX predomina la exclusión, la idea del mapuche como un ser moralmente degradado, sin embargo, poetas como Gabriela Mistral y Pablo Neruda se aproximan con distintos puntos de vista, apartados del desprecio. A fines del siglo XX, la mirada multicultural inicia una literatura que pretende dar voz al mapuche, escritores de esta línea son Violeta Cáceres, Clemente Riedemann, y poetas de origen mapuche, como Jaime Luis Huenún, Leonel Lienlaf, Elicura Chihuailaf («la más reflexiva, la más polémica, la más lúcida de las voces mapuches, la más consciente de la función de resistencia e identidad cultural»), son los que más luchan por una nueva percepción del mapuche que, aun ahora, es visto por la sociedad chilena como héroe, bárbaro o víctima.

Return of the 'Angry Woman': authenticating female physical action in contemporary cinema

In 1999, Elizabeth Hills pointed up the challenges that physically active women on film still posed, in cultural terms, and in relation to certain branches of feminist theory . Since then, a remarkable number of emphatically active female heroes have appeared on screen, from 'Charlie’s Angels' to 'Resident Evil', 'Aeon Flux', and the 'Matrix' and 'X-Men' trilogies. Nevertheless, in a contemporary Western culture frequently characterised as postfeminist, these seem to be the ‘acceptable face’ – and body – of female empowerment: predominantly white, heterosexual, often scantily clad, with the traditional hero’s toughness and resolve re-imagined in terms of gender-biased notions of decorum: grace and dignity alongside perfect hair and make-up, and a body that does not display unsightly markers of physical exertion. The homogeneity of these representations is worth investigating in relation to critical claims that valorise such air-brushed, high-kicking 'action babes' for their combination of sexiness and strength, and the feminist and postfeminist discourses that are refracted through such readings. Indeed, this arguably ‘safe’ set of depictions, dovetailing so neatly with certain postfeminist notions of ‘having it all’, suppresses particular kinds of spectacles in relation to the active female body: images of physical stress and extension, biological consequences of violence and dangerous motivations are all absent. I argue that the untidy female exertions refused in popular “action babe” representations are now erupting into view in a number of other contemporaneous movies – 'Kill Bill' Vols 1 & 2, 'Monster', and 'Hard Candy' – that mark the return of that which is repressed in the mainstream vision of female power – that is, a more viscerally realistic physicality, rage and aggression. As such, these films engage directly with the issue of how to represent violent female agency. This chapter explores what is at stake at a representational level and in terms of spectatorial processes of identification in the return of this particularly visceral rendering of the female avenger.

The zero, the centre and the empty utopia: from Rossellini to Walter Salles

This article examines utopian gestures and inaugural desires in two films which became symbolic of the Brazilian Film Revival in the late 1990s: Central Station (1998) and Midnight (1999). Both evolve around the idea of an overcrowded or empty centre in a country trapped between past and future, in which the motif of the zero stands for both the announcement and the negation of utopia. The analysis draws parallels between them and new wave films which also elaborate on the idea of the zero, with examples picked from Italian neo-realism, the Brazilian Cinema Novo and the New German Cinema. In Central Station, the ‘point zero’, or the core of the homeland, is retrieved in the archaic backlands, where political issues are resolved in the private sphere and the social drama turns into family melodrama. Midnight, in its turn, recycles Glauber Rocha’s utopian prophecies in the new millennium’s hour zero, when the earthly paradise represented by the sea is re-encountered by the middle-class character, but not by the poor migrant. In both cases, public injustice is compensated by the heroes��� personal achievements, but those do not refer to the real nation, its history or society. Their utopian breadth, based on nostalgia, citation and genre techniques, is of a virtual kind, attune to cinema only.

Meta-morphs: – being a mediator of the ‘thin’ place and ‘thin’ experience in the HE classroom. A paper on the experience of creating transformations in HE teaching and learning

The research which underpins this paper began as a doctoral project exploring archaic beliefs concerning Otherworlds and Thin Places in two particular landscapes - the West Coast of Wales and the West Coast of Ireland. A Thin Place is an ancient Celtic Christian term used to describe a marginal, liminal realm, beyond everyday human experience and perception, where mortals could pass into the Otherworld more readily, or make contact with those in the Otherworld more willingly. To encounter a Thin Place in ancient folklore was significant because it engendered a state of alertness, an awakening to what the theologian John O’ Donohue (2004: 49) called “the primal affection.” These complex notions and terms will be further explored in this paper in relation to Education. Thin Teaching is a pedagogical approach which offers students the space to ruminate on the possibility that their existence can be more and can mean more than the categories they believed they belonged to or felt they should inhabit. Central to the argument then, is that certain places and their inhabitants can become revitalised by sensitively considered teaching methodologies. This raises interesting questions about the role spirituality plays in teaching practice as a tool for healing in the twenty first century.

Otherworlds: fantasy and history in medieval literature

This book offers a new perspective on the otherworlds of medieval literature. These fantastical realms are among the most memorable places in medieval writing, by turns beautiful and monstrous, alluring and terrifying. Passing over a river or sea, or entering into a hollow hill, heroes come upon strange and magical realms. These places are often very beautiful, filled with sweet music and adorned with precious stones and rich materials. There is often no darkness, time may pass at a different pace, and the people who dwell there are usually supernatural. Sometimes such a place is exactly what it appears to be-the land of heart's desire-but, the otherworld can also have a sinister side, trapping humans and keeping them there against their will. Otherworlds: Fantasy and History in Medieval Literature takes a fresh look at how medieval writers understood these places and why they found them so compelling. It focuses on texts from England, but places this material in the broader context of literary production in medieval Britain and Ireland. The narratives examined in this book tell a rather surprising story about medieval notions of these fantastical places. Otherworlds are actually a lot less 'other' than they might initially seem. Authors often use the idea of the otherworld to comment on very serious topics. It is not unusual for otherworld depictions to address political issues in the historical world. Most intriguing of all are those texts where locations in the real world are re-imagined as otherworlds. The regions on which this book focuses, Britain, Ireland and the surrounding islands, prove particularly susceptible to this characterization.

Sangue e carne no cinema de Joaquim Pedro de Andrade

'Macunaíma' (Joaquim Pedro de Andrade, 1969) ends with a shot of blood emerging from the water. This text proposes an approach to this image following a comparison with other films by the same filmmaker: 'Couro de gato' (1960) and 'Os Inconfidentes' (1972). The main thesis is that in these images the aesthetical work with flesh synthesizes the ritual cannibalism and the capitalist one. This synthesis is specified in heroes��� assimilation by power.

A importância da marca no processo de decisão de compra de calçados esportivos para a população de baixa renda

Desde a estabilidade econômica que ocorreu no Brasil em 1994 até os dias atuais, o mercado brasileiro vem crescendo aceleradamente, atraindo a entrada de marcas internacionais e estimulando a indústria nacional com o surgimento de fortes marcas locais. Este movimento incentiva o surgimento de novos consumidores com importante poder de compra, como as classes mais baixas da sociedade, antes vista como a parte neste processo. As empresas começam então a desenvolver estratégias para atrair tal público, estudando seu comportamento de consumo. O uso de marcas fortes passa a se destacar. O segmento de calçado esportivos, em especial o tênis, com um crescimento anual de 8% e uma produção de 80 milhões de pares/ano, é um forte exemplo. Com base nesse cenário, a presente dissertação teve como objetivo compreender a importância da marca no processo de decisão de compra dos produtos da categoria de calçados esportivos para os consumidores da classe C e D. Para tanto, foram analisadas bibliografias referentes ao comportamento do consumidor e o os atributos considerados no processo de decisão de compra, em especial a importância da marca. Foram levantados dados sobre a população de baixa renda no Brasil e seu comportamento de compra, e sobre o mercado de calçados esportivos. Foram realizadas entrevistas com dez consumidores pertencentes a este público com o intuito de conhecer seus hábitos de consumo e uso de tênis, e a participação da marca no seu processo de decisão de compra. Dessa forma, pode-se perceber que este público tem preferência pelo tênis como sapato que pode ser usado em todas as ocasiões. A marca é o principal atributo para a compra desse produto, sendo mais importante que o preço ou local de compra. Ela é a garantia de qualidade, mas, em uma análise mais profunda, também é usada como um forte fator de distinção social intraclasse, recebendo uma forte influência da mídia e de celebridades, que são vistas como heróis, dentro de um processo de projeção de sua identidade.

As possibilidades de satisfação na adoção

Com este trabalho se teve a intenção de penetrar um pouco na natureza da adoção, avaliando comparativamente alguns aspectos da interação pais-filhos adotivos e pais-filhos biológicos. Ser adotivo constitui urna das características dos heróis mitológicos. Sendo terna tão antigo e calcado em fantasias universais da humanidade, talvez seja por isto que ele ainda conserve um tanto de mito e um tanto de tabu que sempre lhe dificultam um tratamento científico. Em comparação à quantidade de estudos de que dispõe a Psicologia, relacionados à interação pais-filhos, o terna da adoção não tem sido muito estudado, no nosso país, principalmente. Com base teórica na Psicanálise e inspirados no trabalho de Wish & Kaplan (1977) (que apresentaram urna forma de comparar relações diádicas), foram propostas hipóteses de que algumas diferenças seriam encontradas ao compararmos as interações pais-filhos adotivos e pais-filhos biológicos.

A travessia do trágico no romance d A Pedra do Reino de Ariano Suassuna

The present work seeks to investigate and discuss about the Greek Tragedy s elements at Ariano Suassuna s romance called τ Romance d A Pedra do Reino e o Principe do Sangue do Vai e Volta, connecting it directly to mythic, epic, poetic, and romances aspects at his work. The romance has as the protagonist the backcountry Pedro Dinis Quaderna. Quaderna is a character which is simultaneously popular, elitist, enigmatic, naive, and an intellectual man that has a great erudition. Quaderna is a character that seeks, by using the Literature, to reestablish a Brazilian backcountry kingdom which he s supposedly the king, always trying to empathizes the Brazilian northeast region like if it was a nation apart. By impressing a national personality to the Brazilian northeast , Quaderna tries to become an epic poet just like Homer, denoting a strong influence of the Epopee. Quaderna, just like many characters of Greek Tragedy, has at his family past time a lot of tragic circumstances. These facts that ocurred to his relativos like the your uncle Pedro Sebastião Garcia Barreto s death, the disappearement of his cousin Sinésio, and the contest between the brothers Arésio and Sinésio, and others aspects, remind us remarkable influences, beyond the Epopee, of the Greek Tragedy. By reading the romance we may notice many similarities between Quaderna s trajectory and Greek Tragedy heroes. To make an analysis about the tragic aspects at Suassuna s work, we need to dialogue with many theoreticals that have written about the tragic and comparate with many parts of Suassuna s with classics character s texts of Greek Tragedy. At the following chapters we seek to provide romance s elementaries notions, as well as tragic notions, the dialogue with mythics aspects and the tragic and epic aplicability at Suassuna s work

Padre Miguelinho :o intelectual, o professor, o revolucionário - vozes que se fazem ouvir

This research work worries in building the history of the natalense priest Miguel Joaquim of Almeida Castro, Miguelinho, I don't just eat one of the heroes and martyrs of the Revolution From Pernambuco of 1817, as bill the traditional history, but also the educated man, the intellectual and the admired teacher. The studied period understands the beginning of the century XIX, when priest Miguelinho comes back to Brazil, coming of Portugal, to assume teacher's occupation in the Seminar of Olinda, and it ends in the year of 1817, marked by the Revolution From Pernambuco, one of the most important movements in the fight for the liberation of Brazil of the Portuguese domain. Miguelinho, one of the leaders of the Revolution, that also reached the provinces of Paraíba and of Rio Grande do Norte, it was executed by the real troops. Like this, he tries to understand the Priest's conflicting relationship, while representative clergyman, of a Church that almost obtained a religious monopoly, and your ideals per centuries more gone back to a social and economical order of Illumines, that even certain point condemned the attitude of the own Church. The objective, then, is to understand through the path of priest's Miguelinho life, not only the intellectual, the teacher and the revolutionary, but the representation of your political and pedagogic-educational ideas in a die historical moment and the creation of the republican myth, looking for the plurality of an universe that seeks, per times, to flee of our theoretical context
