El espacio, la luz y lo santo. La arquitectura del templo cristiano

Es conciso y profundo el estudio que hace el autor de las variables religiosas que le cuadran, a pesar de aquella contradicción que también él registra (esta inevitable tensión entre la intemperie y la arquitectura religiosa), al diseño del templo cristiano. Con sentido pedagógico -y filosófico- parte de los conceptos previos a toda habitación -espacio, volumen, masa...- para luego aplicarse con brillante racionalidad técnica y religiosa, a proponer relaciones entre lo fijo y lo incontenible, entre lo construible y la liturgia que lo habitará. Accesible para profanos de uno y otro campo, el arquitectónico y el teológico, la obra que recomendamos con estas líneas, es un ejercicio, al que os invito, de contemplación e imaginación, que no otra cosa opera por debajo de los ritos, las palabras y los signos que hacen de los templos cristianos lugares de vida, esperanza y, ¡qué necesidad tenemos de ello...!, humanidad.

Vislumbrando brotes verdes: a propósito de 15 viviendas sociales junto al silo de Albacete

Ante la constatación de los cambios que la sociedad española ha experimentado en los últimos cuarenta años y que tienen en el concepto de la familia un reflejo de primer orden, el artículo plantea la relación entre las maneras de vivir (modos de habitar) y las viviendas, muy presente en el debate arquitectónico. Las casas son nuestro mundo, el que construimos, donde se revela tanto nuestra forma de ser como nuestra forma de entender, de estar y de actuar en el mundo. Para ilustrar esas relaciones, se efectúa un breve repaso por algunos de sus hitos: la Villa Rotonda, el Hôtel Tassel y la doble vivienda de Le Corbusier en la Weissenhofsiedlungen, que nos conduce hasta el estudio de un caso, el de un bloque aislado de 15 viviendas sociales junto al silo de Albacete, obra de la arquitecta Rosana Pérez González.

Territorio, convivencia y participación en Alberdi: Una estrategia comunicativo-expresiva (Córdoba, 2013).

Las condiciones de habitar la ciudad se han ido transformando en los últimos años. La expansión de la mancha urbana, la densificación de la población, los cambios en la organización económica, social y tecnológica han reconfigurado las relaciones entre los habitantes y los espacios, de forma particular en barrios tradicionales como Alberdi. Se trata de un barrio con un importante patrimonio histórico cultural, que ha sido escenario de diversas manifestaciones colectivas que hacen a la identidad cordobesa, cuya población se ha ido conformando heterogéneamente a partir de migraciones, tanto del interior de nuestra provincia como de países limítrofes. Diversos procesos han impactado e impactan en la dinámica de interacción en este territorio: Por un lado, ciertas tendencias que afectan a la ciudad, como la privatización y mediatización de la vida cotidiana y el sentimiento de inseguridad, van redefiniendo los espacios públicos como espacios de circulación donde nadie se reconoce. La tendencia es a una vida cada vez más “puertas adentro”, donde la apropiación del espacio público, la identificación con el barrio y la participación en organizaciones territoriales tienen cada vez menos posibilidades de desarrollarse. Por otro lado, el avance del desarrollo inmobiliario, importante en este barrio al tratarse de una zona atractiva para los inversores por su ubicación estratégica. Se han construido numerosos edificios y se han demolido edificaciones históricas, a pesar de la vigencia de ordenanzas referidas a la protección del patrimonio arquitectónico urbanístico y de áreas de valor cultural. Estas transformaciones afectan los modos de vivir y convivir de los/as vecinos/as. En la búsqueda de la defensa de su identidad barrial y memoria colectiva muchos vecinos/as, así como diversas organizaciones han conformado la “Multisectorial Defendamos Alberdi”, que funciona desde 2010 y ha logrado una imagen positiva que le ha permitido la organización eficaz de múltiples acciones. Sin embargo, se encuentra en su funcionamiento con una serie de problemas que dan origen al vínculo con nuestro equipo de investigación y se traducen hoy en una demanda de capacitación: - por un lado, refieren las dificultades de los vecinos para generarse espacios de participación, particularmente de aquellos que se sienten involucrados en las problemáticas que afectan al barrio aunque no contenidos en las organizaciones que conforman la Multisectorial; así como su propia necesidad de potenciar las formas de una organización democrática interna para la toma de decisiones participativa, en el marco de la heterogeneidad y diversidad de sus integrantes. - por otro, la Multisectorial cuenta con escasos recursos humanos y materiales –además de tiempo disponible- para la comunicación externa, de allí que necesita optimizar sus capacidades tanto para visibilizar sus acciones y objetivos como para articular con otros colectivos. -por último, manifiestan la necesidad de enriquecer la comprensión de las coyunturas que los atraviesan como barrio de constitución cultural heterogénea en el marco de procesos macroestructurales de transformación urbana, con el objetivo de ampliar entre los vecinos y vecinas las oportunidades de apropiarse y participar de la vida común del barrio, de potenciar los espacios/tiempos de estar juntos en Alberdi. La demanda se inscribe en la forma “ciclo de capacitación”, tanto para potenciar la comunicación interna y externa de la Multisectorial -entre las instancias que la conforman, con los vecinos y vecinas del barrio-; como para potenciar la articulación con otros colectivos y dar visibilidad a sus demandas y logros con relación al trabajo vecinal. Los beneficiarios son los participantes de la Multisectorial o de las organizaciones que la componen y vecinos no asociados a estas instancias. Cada propuesta de capacitación tiene en cuenta la complejidad de los grupos que comparten el espacio barrial y sus demandas específicas.

Jóvenes, escuela y subjetividad : Aproximación a un campo de tensiones

El presente trabajo persigue un doble propósito: por un lado, procura explorar el campo de tensiones que se configura en el encuentro entre las formas de ser y estar en el mundo de los jóvenes y la lógica misma de la escuela como institución. En este sentido, ensayaremos problematizar el desacople entre las transformaciones subjetivas de las nuevas generaciones (vinculadas a la emergencia de nuevas tecnologías y a la creciente expansión de la cultura mediática) y el legado de la tradición moderna presente en la escuela. Nos preguntamos de qué modo el conjunto de procesos ligados a las nuevas tecnologías informáticas alteran las formas en que los jóvenes se vinculan con el conocimiento y con las instituciones escolares encargadas de transmitirlo; tecnologías, aquellas, que han irrumpido vehementemente en sus (nuestras) vidas cotidianas cambiando los modos de percibir y habitar el mundo. A la vez, nos proponemos poner en diálogo dicha situación con una conceptualización teórica de la categoría misma de subjetividad. Si comprender las formas de ser y estar en el mundo de los jóvenes supone rastrear las formas de producción de subjetividad, resulta fundamental hacerlo explicitando qué entendemos por dicho concepto, explorándolo desde diversas disciplinas

La (im)plasticidad de las viviendas sociales y su adaptación a partir de las estrategias de reproducción de sus residentes. Aproximaciones al Conjunto Urbano "Sector Polideportivo Ex Villa 1.11.14" del Bajo Flores

En el siguiente trabajo se tratarán algunas aproximaciones sobre las adaptaciones en los usos del espacio predeterminado del Conjunto Habitacional "Polideportivo". Este Conjunto es construido en 1998, producto de la implementación del "Programa de Radicación y Transformación de Villas y Barrios Carenciados" del Gobierno de la Ciudad en la Villa 1.11.14. Siguiendo a la concepción de vivienda de Bourdieu, ésta no es una mera inversión económica sino también es considerada una inversión social bajo la forma de reproducción social y biológica, ligando a la familia en tanto hogar. En este sentido, nuestra aproximación busca indagar hasta qué punto los espacios rígidos previstos por las tipologías del Conjunto han sido susceptibles de ser adaptados por parte de sus residentes para dar cuenta de sus estrategias habitacionales y de reproducción. Asimismo, queremos indagar estas estrategias en tanto se vinculan con una creciente informalización de los usos del espacio en la formalidad de los conjuntos, implicando una adaptación del espacio a las lógicas de habitar de sus residentes

Mujeres y acciones colectivas "por la vida" frente a la expansión de la minería a gran escala en la región cordillerana de Argentina

Con la consolidación de un modelo productivo en base a la extracción de recursos naturales no renovables y contaminación del medio ambiente, comienzan a instalarse emprendimientos mineros a cielo abierto en la región cordillerana Argentina que repercuten negativamente en las economías regionales y en los modos de vida de las poblaciones locales. Se entabla así, una disputa por la apropiación de los territorios signada por la nueva racionalidad económica extractiva y la supervivencia de los "mundos de vida" de los habitantes de estas tierras amenazadas. De esta manera, se conforman asambleas de vecinos autoconvocados a lo largo de la zona cordillerana, en las que predominan mujeres, que le otorgan un sentido particular a la lucha de todos los pobladores. Desde la resistencia, estas mujeres trascienden el lugar que se les ha asignado dentro del "sistema capitalista / colonial / patriarcal / racista" e intentan preservar su identidad territorial, sus formas de habitar, a través de la acción colectiva basada en ?la territorialidad como vida?. La intención de este trabajo es recuperar el sentido de las prácticas, nociones y relaciones sociales que entablan estas mujeres a partir de su participación en estas asambleas socio-ambientales, a través de entrevistas y trabajo etnográfico

Educação e inclusão: o ser professor ao educar alunos com deficiência numa escola confessional

O presente estudo tem por objetivo refletir o significado do ser professor ao educar alunos com deficiência e dificuldades de aprendizagem no contexto da confessionalidade Metodista . Para tanto contou com preciosas contribuições teóricas e relatos de experiências profissionais, com destaque às teorias de Paulo Freire, Merleau-Ponty. Hannah Arendt, Lino de Macedo. Maria Tereza Eglêr Mantoan. Joel Martins, Maria Aparecida Viggiani Bicudo, Leonardo Boff e Rui de Souza Josgrilberg. Para a coleta de dados necessários, foram utilizadas entrevistas orientadas pela pergunta da pesquisa - o que norteou toda a tragetória metodológica, contando com a participação de professores do Grupo Alternativo do Colégio Metodista. O método utilizado para a análise dos dados foi o fenomenólogo. Da análise empreendida ressalta, principalmente, a evidência de que no lócus alternativo de escolarização, o professor tem a condição de assumir uma nova atitude frente ao fenômeno da aprendizagem mediada pelo princípio da inclusão pautado em valores éticos e cristãos na formação do conhecimento e da cidadania. Da reflexão do que se desvelou, põe a descoberto o significado do ser professor. Surge a oportunidade dele repensar sua práxis, a concepção do ser professor que em relação de educabilidade, busca habitar o Lebenswelt. Abre-se, assim, uma possibilidade de compreender e intervir significativamente na relação com o aluno, que envolve uma atitude fenomenológica no compromisso com uma educação humana.(AU)

Histórias de adoção tardia: considerações a partir da analítica existencial heideggeriana

Adoption establishes a filiation status, resulting from a legal act, which attributes to the child and parents the rights and obligations associated with such condition, being legally irrevocable. Nevertheless, in practice there are adoptions that do not concretize and the child returns to justice during or even after the legal process is closed. Late adoption is the denomination of the adoption of children over two years and it is still permeated by myths and stigmas, leading to a frequent return of the child to justice in these cases. The late adoption involves a process of building a unique relationship with a child whose backstory is commonly marked by the dissolution of the relationship with the family of origin, due to violation of rights and, in some cases, the experience of institutional care. Given such a scenario, this research, based on the Existential Analytic proposed by Martin Heidegger, seeks to understand the experience of mothers and children in the process of late adoption, in order to obtain subsidies to psychological attention in this context. This is a qualitative, phenomenological study with a comprehensive focus. The participants were two mothers and two children who have gone through late adoption for about two years. The procedures of data generation contemplated narrative interviews with mothers and individual meetings with children, in which ludic resources were used as mediators of expression (free drawings, unfinished children's story and "Story-Drawings" on late adoption). The procedures were audiotaped and transcribed. Data analysis was grounded in Heidegger's hermeneutics. The late adoption process, permeated by historical, social and cultural determinants and the web of meanings that create the historical singularity of each person involved have proved to be complex as seen in the narratives. The construction of the meanings of parenthood and filiation has been developing in the families in the study, from the experience of being-with-the-other, caring and dwelling in their peculiar modes of expression. The family of origin and the adoptive family mingle and differentiate by means of the experience of children, especially because of the existence of biological siblings. Data point to the importance of psychological care to family core in late adoption processes

“Oi, meu nome é Ana” - um estudo fenomenológico-existencial da experiência de mulheres com anorexia nervosa

This research deals with anorexia nervosa through the look of those who lived this experience. Eating Disorders have been presented as psychopathology increasingly recurrent in contemporary, being almost doubled incidence in the last 20 years, reaching mainly teenagers and bringing consequences and implications of various kinds. The literature points to the relevance of the current ideal of beauty, in which thinness is overvalued. In this case, the study’s objective was to understand, from an existential-phenomenological perspective, anorexia experience. Thus, when assessing the experience, seeking to understand the possible directions that the non-eating is for the person who lives such an experience. The study, of Heidegger's existential-phenomenological inspiration, used semi-structured interviews as a means of access to the experience. Female two people were interviewed, at the age of 17 and 30, began with a starter question ("How was, or how is, your anorexia experience?"), which allowed the interviewee to talk about their experience. For the selection of the study participant was publicized among health professionals, as well as in social networks and blogs, in which the research objectives and approaches have been made explicit. The field diary was also used as a methodological resource, seeking a greater approximation of the experiences of the interviewees and the researcher. The interviews were interpreted in the by Heidegger's hermeneutics. The meanings unveiled in the narratives revealed issues beyond the physical and pathological issue, being involved family, wishes, friends, experiences, life projects. The corporal, as thought by Martin Heidegger, became very present in the statements of the interviewees, as it is part of existence. Among the Heidegger´s ideas, emphasizes care, inhospitality, live, boredom, openness to possibilities and factuality, that might be discussed from interviewees' discourse, engendering reflections about their senses, in their lives.

O centro de Fortaleza como lugar de moradia

The present study has the objective of analyzing how the ways of dwelling influences the uses and the functional and symbolic appropriations of the urban space in Fortaleza city center, through the perspective of the residents and their relation with the living place. Scenarios of development and degradation of its urban space have marked the city center of Fortaleza. The intensification of the commercial and services occupation promoted through the years, paradoxically, the valorization of the land price and the devalorization of the residential use. Thus, the residential occupation was consolidated in a discontinuous way, being concentrated mainly in the external limits of the historical core of the neighborhood. The research is structured over the delimitation of an area and the selection of multifamily residential buildings, built since the 1960s, close to the central core of the neighborhood. The spatial configuration analysis of the selected residential buildings, and their relations with the urban surroundings and the land uses, reveals different aspects related to the urban vitality, producing impacts over the ways of dwelling constituted by the daily life of the residents. The study of the ways of dwelling involves the comprehension that the dwelling is beyond the private residential boundaries and the functional occupation. The conceptual base of this research is developed over the perspective that the dwelling represents a fundamental aspect of the human condition, allowing the person to relate with the space in an essential way (HEIDEGGER, 2012). In this perspective of the dwelling, the space reunites the mental and the cultural, the social and the historical, being marked by simultaneous logics of the conceived, the perceived and the lived space (LEFEVBRE, 2006). The development of this study, over the point of view of the neighborhood residents, is inserted in the perspective of the lived space, related to the concept of place, understood as a qualitative phenomenon, giving essence and identity to the space. The place of dwelling, marked by coexistences, is one of the structural elements of the urban land use, and potential for the rehabilitation of the central areas in big cities. Therefore, the study starts from the hypothesis that the location, the nearby land uses and the spatial configuration of the residential buildings affect the ways of dwelling, in other words the residents dissolve the boundaries of the shelter and experience the urban space, from the dwelling place. The requalification of the dwelling is opposed to the residential space based in functionality, in hierarchy, in self sufficiency, in standardization and in the reproduction of the urban space, materialized in the dense contemporary residential buildings, that are unrelated to the city. The stages of the research involved the spatial configuration analysis of the selected residential buildings and their surrounding, the land use mapping and interviews with the residents. The collected data allowed verifying that the buildings are located in areas presenting heterogeneous land uses, with a great number of residents and users. However, these aspects are not sufficient to promote the vitality of the public spaces in the neighborhood, since the people movement in the streets is controlled by the opening hours of the predominant commercial use in the area. The word of the residents, collected in interviews, indicate that the conservation conditions of the public spaces and the insecurity influences their everyday relations with the place of dwelling, affecting fundamental aspects for the dwelling requalification in the central area of Fortaleza.

Corpos Queer e a experiência da sexualidade: notas para o conhecimento da educação física

This study had the goal of make a dialogue between queer theory and the thoughts of the French philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty in the categories of body and sexuality. From this dialogue, other goals were designed, namely: identify possible recurrences of the experience of bodies and queer sexualities, designed under Merleau-Ponty’s perspective, to the knowledge of Physical Education and reflect on this domain of knowledge using the notions of queer epistemology and esthesia. The study had as methodology the phenomenological attitude proposed by Merleau-Ponty and use the reduction as technic of research. Trying linking these thoughts we used the cinema of the Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar as perceptive strategy, an exercise of look as possibility of reading the world and new ways of perceiving the human being. We appreciate three films, namely: All About My Mother (1999), The Skin I Live In (2011) and Bad Education (2004), which put us in touch with bodies and queer sexualities, with the body of esthesia, of the ecstasy, sensations and lived experiences, un type of art whose contours are not fixed or determinable, postulate by Merleau-Ponty. The philosopher, provide a rich conceptual view of the body and their sexual experience, extends and opens horizons of thought and reflection about queer experience, one experience indeterminate and contingent as a singular way of inhabiting the world. Those horizons opened by the philosopher and added to the queer perspective contribute to put in question the modes of knowledge production and the knowledge about body and sexuality in Physical Education. Finally, we point that this theoretical conversation give us clues to reflect about the reverberations of a queer epistemology for Physical Education usiging one type of knowledge guided by esthesia and sensitivity as marks of another scientific rationality.
