O narrador de Walter Benjamin e a contação de histórias: (duas) contribuições para a educação atual

Este artigo oferece a reflexão acerca da educação, pensando sua atualidade e a necessidade de tornar marcantes as experiências das crianças com a contação de histórias, a qual pode ser uma ferramenta para tanto. Com a obra de Benjamin, O Narrador, destaca-se um elemento não mais comum entre as pessoas, as quais, em épocas passadas, podiam trocar experiências por meio do conto ou da narração de sua própria vida. Não há mais tempo para isso, não há mais capacidade para isso; a sociedade atual está orientada pela informação rápida e pela aceleração da vida, não permitindo um tempo ocioso para este tipo de experiência como um momento de ensino que ilustra e marca a vida inteira. Com estas preocupações, acrescentamos a discussão de autores que tratam da literatura ou dos contos na educação brasileira, sua influência e possibilidades de novas experiências com as crianças.

Memória, infância e brincar em escritos de Walter Benjamin: cultura lúdica e processos de formação e prática docente

This text aims to present some ideas of the philosopher Walter Benjamin, one of the most intriguing intellectuals of our time, trying to outline in his work the relationship that the author establishes between childhood playing and ludic culture, more precisely regarding the memory of playing, childhood, culture, history and memory in contemporary society after the twentieth century. Thus, in order to identify reinterpreted experiments, as places, forms of playing and types of toys made out of this paradigm, we were guided by the notes, essays, translations and articles in which Benjamin identified conceptions of childhood and ludic culture. Benjamin's view of childhood is not childish, simplistic or reductive. His works allow us to discuss and justify the need for a more detailed analysis on the phenomenon of development and teaching practice within the everyday schoolchildren. By revisiting the original ideas, and irreverent criticism of Benjamin, thinking education from his account, we hope to contribute with other studies in the field of education, by elucidating the process of development and teaching practice in relation to the ludic childhood culture, specifically regarding childhood and the places of childhood in the contemporary context.

O papel da memória nas ramificações da cultura em Theodor W. Adorno e Walter Benjamin

A memória foi uma temática importante dentro das reflexões da Escola de Frankfurt. O objetivo do presente trabalho é esmiuçar as considerações de Theodor W. Adorno em torno do papel da articulação do passado na vida cotidiana e das suas materializações na cultura, bem como comparar essa linha de pensamento com a de Walter Benjamin, outro teórico que se debruçou demoradamente sobre este tema. Compararemos a forma como os dois autores focalizam a memória, bem como o papel que cada um deles atribui à cultura enquanto materialização do decorrido. Os dois autores forneceram respostas diferentes para a pergunta “o que significa elaborar o passado”. São justamente as aproximações e os afastamentos entre um e outro o que procuraremos estudar neste trabalho.

Livre-arbítrio e a relação mente e cérebro em Benjamin Libet

My purpose is to reflect critically on how Benjamin Libet interprets his experiments, which are focused primarily on the question of free will. These experiments have often been considered as scientific evidence against free will, to the extent that they would have shown that the intention and will result from conscious brain processes, which are unconscious and precedents. But that is not the position of Libet, which distinguishes intention and conscious will, arguing that only the first results from previous and unconscious brain processes, while the second is autonomous and able to act causally on brain. Thus, Libet choose to ignore the suggestion of its initial experiments, that is, that all mental events result of specific brain processes. I argue that Libet ignores it because he is not able to understand how mental events, being essentially separated and at the same time the result of brain activity, could act causally on the brain.

Analisi e traduzione di "The family law" di Benjamin Law

The aim of this dissertation is to propose a translation from English into Italian of The Family Law, an autobiographical novel written by Benjamin Law, an Australian author of Cantonese origins. The present dissertation is divided into four chapters. The first chapter presents the author of the book, by providing his biography; in addition, the chapter contains an overview of the Australia immigration problem, which is an important issue in the book due to the fact that the author’s parents had moved from Hong Kong to Caloundra, Australia. The second chapter presents the book The Family Law, by focusing on its main themes and by paying special attention to the description of the characters; furthermore, it analyses the plot of the chapters which I decided to translate, and provides a selection of Italian publishers which might be interested in publishing the book. The third chapter consists of my translation of the chapters I selected. The final chapter analyses the strategies I adopted while translating and examines some of the problematic issues that I encountered during the translation process, in particular at the level of morphosyntax, lexicon, cultural references, and style.
