Um estudo sobre intelectuais negros na academia entre 1970 e 1990: trajetória acadêmica de Florentina Silva Souza

Este estudo, a partir da descrição da trajetória acadêmica da professora Florentina da Silva Souza, apresenta como se deu a entrada dos pesquisadores negros na universidade nos cursos de Pós-Graduação. Buscou-se a partir da trajetória da pesquisadora compreender como os estudos desenvolvidos por intelectuais negros repercutem na luta contra a discriminação racial no Brasil, identificando algumas dificuldades encontradas pelos negros no espaço acadêmico ao trazer a questão racial como objeto central de suas análises. O recorte temporal da pesquisa centra-se no final da década de 1970 e as décadas de 1980 e 1990, período em que o Brasil entra em um processo de redemocratização, posterior a ditadura militar, momento em que o movimento negro se reorganizou e desenvolveu-se pressionando o governo para que a questão racial passasse a fazer parte da agenda política. Para descrever a trajetória acadêmica da professora Florentina da Silva Souza foi utilizado como aporte teórico às noções conceituais de Bourdieu (2008, 2009) mais especificamente habitus, campo e capital cultural, a fim de compreender as escolhas que direcionaram a vida da pesquisadora em termos profissionais. Como aporte metodológico, utilizou-se a Biografia e Contexto, desenvolvida por Giovanni Levi (2006), que ocorre quando se relaciona as particularidades da biografia e destaca-se a época, o meio ambiente, fatores capazes de justificar as atitudes de Florentina durante a trajetória como pesquisadora. Em síntese, constatou-se com este estudo que a experiência profissional de Florentina soma-se a de muitos negros de sua época e da atualidade que, apesar de ter ascendido socialmente e ingressado na universidade como professora pesquisadora, não a livrou de sofrer preconceitos, pois o lugar de subalternidade a que os negros foram submetidos, como demonstrado nas argumentações desta pesquisa, foi construído historicamente por meio de teorias que os colocavam como “seres inferiores”. Apesar de terem sido desqualificadas, essas teorias ainda persistem no imaginário social, trazendo como consequência o preconceito e a discriminação que se manifestaram nas diversas instâncias sociais do país.

Injúria racial e cotas: de que maneira os inquéritos policiais poderão contribuir para o debate racial acerca das cotas na UFPA?.

Esta pesquisa enfoca a implementação de cotas raciais na UFPA, a partir da análise de inquéritos policiais sobre injúria racial; da visão de repórteres e leitores do jornal O Liberal; além do caso do julgamento do mandado de injunção impetrado pelo grupo Mocambo. Tais diálogos se estabelecem para compreender as representações sociais referentes às relações raciais no Brasil, já que a concepção dos atores sociais fica mais clarividente com a contextualização histórica das falas recorrentes, seja as dos inquéritos policiais, seja a de alunos não cotistas, seja a de autoridades constituídas. Para isso, a pesquisa bibliográfica embasou-se em Thompson (2001), Chalhoub (1990; 2001), Dworkin (2005), dentre outros, e no uso de fontes documentais (legislação vigente, boletins de ocorrência, jornais Beira do Rio e O Liberal). Após a análise do conteúdo, constatou-se que a cor é utilizada para demarcar o mapa da desigualdade entre negros e brancos, em situações potencialmente conflituosas. Além disso, o debate sobre as cotas não deve ser polarizado, porque isso provoca o acirramento das posições e a minimização de fatores igualmente importantes no contexto educacional. Apesar de as cotas sozinhas não resolverem o problema racial, tampouco o da permanência do negro na universidade, elas contribuem para a democratização do ensino superior.

Arquivo e Memória de Negros

This work analizes the documentation produced by the Municipal Council of Black people in Brazil, both as archival documents and as a rescue innitiative of blacks’ memory. For this purpose, we used the interdisciplinary basis of archival science, the concept of social memory and the history of black movements in Brazil. Legal aspects of Black People Council foundation were raised to provide an understanding of the relations it established with the local government and the municipal city hall. The study of Black movements was fundamental to understand the constitution of this archive, which ensures, in some way, the identity and social participation of black people, beyond the reminiscence of past events from the black people’ group experience. Thus we perceive how the black movement becomes official and legal through the documentation associated to local government; and, in the same way, we observe how their official memory is constituted.

As Políticas Públicas para a promoção da igualdade racial no contexto de Presidente Prudente

This work aims at presenting the historical and social path traversed in Brazil since slavery until the implementation of affirmative public policies to promote racial equality, at the local level, in the municipality of Presidente Prudente-SP. Therefore, the starting point was the equal rights guaranteed by the Constitution. As a result, there was a brief historical path of national trajectory, starting from slavery to the so-called cordial racism, seeking to demonstrate the route of racial discrimination in the country. Later, we made notes about the necessity and debate on public policy statements of various fields, were made explicit in the text and the articles of the Constitution which prescribe the crime of racism and some of the situations that were highlighted in the national media. The focus in the city of Presidente Prudente was through historical research, interviews, photographic records and documents that informed about the presence of black people in the city. From these data, based on previous research, it was possible to trace the formation and development of the Black Movement in the city and thus point the way to the formation of this City Council for Racial Equality and the need for application of affirmative action policies for the municipality by hereby. Data from the 2000 Census and 2010 indicate the demand of Presidente Prudente as the percentage of blacks self-declared grew this decade. The main demands are paring the areas of Health since the rate of black women Administrative Region (RA) of Presidente Prudente who die in puerperium and high; Education through enhanced, by the Municipal Education Law No. 10,639, and due attention to african-Brazilian culture by respecting the religious manifestations of African origin among others...

Negros misturados: um estudo de caso sobre identidades negras em Mossoró-RN

With more or less 213.000 habitants, Mossoró is the second more developed city from the Rio Grande do Norte. The town is proclamated like the land of freedom. To so far, exist four moments in your history related with the defence of freedom that is point like truthful from so proclamation. Suchlike happenings are the first female vote on Brazil, the resistance against the Lampião s band, the worman s mutiny and the slave release in 1883, five year before the Áurea law sanction. These happenings are commemorate yearly on setember with one big theatrical event called by the freedom high. Inside this contexto of exaltation to freedom, there is one black movement by name black and beautiful. Is the present dissertation, talked about the building of black identities between the black militants of Mossoró and the dwellers from the Santo Antônio district. With such approach, we intend to think about possibles differences or likeness, how the militants and dwellers from the refered district self-calleds like blacks or not. We are understanding black identity like one process to self-affirmation done by specificities of the social context and the individual particularity. This way, the identity change into one dynamic and contextual reality, gone always by one business process against the interaction of the social actors. So we search to discuss the specificities that involve the process to building of black identities in the city of freedom

The Black Label: trade mark dilution, culture jamming, and the no logo movement

This article considers the ongoing debate over the appropriation of well-known and famous trade marks by the No Logo Movement for the purposes of political and social critique. It focuses upon one sensational piece of litigation in South Africa, Laugh It Off Promotions v. South African Breweries International (Finance) B.V. t/a Sabmark International. In this case, a group called Laugh It Off Promotions subjected the trade marks of the manufacturers of Carling Beer were subjected to parody, social satire, and culture jamming. The beer slogan “Black Label” was turned into a T-Shirt entitled “Black Labour/ White Guilt”. In the ensuing litigation, the High Court of South Africa and the Supreme Court of Appeal were of the opinion that the appropriation of the mark was a case of hate speech. However, the Constitutional Court of South Africa disagreed, finding that the parodies of a well-known, famous trade mark did not constitute trade mark dilution. Moseneke J observed that there was a lack of evidence of economic or material harm; and Sachs J held that there is a need to provide latitude for parody, laughter, and freedom of expression. The decision of the Constitutional Court of South Africa provides some important insights into the nature of trade mark dilution, the role of parody and satire, and the relevance of constitutional protections of freedom of speech and freedom of expression. Arguably, the ruling will be of help in the reformation of trade mark dilution law in other jurisdictions – such as the United States. The decision in Laugh It Off Promotions v. South African Breweries International demonstrates that trade mark law should not be immune from careful constitutional scrutiny.

Ionophore-mediated transmembrane movement of divalent cations in small unilamellar liposomes: An evaluation of the chlortetracycline fluorescence technique and correlations with black lipid membrane studies

Conceptual advances in the field of membrane transport have, in the main, utilized artificial membranes, both planar and vesicular. Systems of biological interest,viz., cells and organelles, resemble vesicles in size and geometry. Methods are, therefore, required to extend the results obtained with planar membranes to liposome systems. In this report we present an analysis of a fluorescence technique, using the divalent cation probe chlortetracycline, in small, unilamellar vesicles, for the study of divalent cation fluxes. An ion carrier (X537 A) and a pore former (alamethicin) have been studied. The rate of rise of fluorescence signal and the transmembrane ion gradient have been related to transmembrane current and potential, respectively. A second power dependence of ion conduction-including the electrically silent portion thereof — on X537 A concentration, has been observed. An exponential dependence of ldquocurrentrdquo on ldquotransmembrane potentialrdquo in the case of alamethicin is also confirmed. Possible errors in the technique are discussed.

Movement of yellowtail snapper (Ocyurus chrysurus Block 1790) and black grouper (Mycteroperca bonaci Poey 1860) in the northern Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary as determined by acoustic telemetry

We tagged a total of 14 yellowtail snapper (Ocyurus chrysurus Bloch 1790) and black grouper (Mycteroperca bonaci Poey 1860) inside the Conch Reef Research Only Area (a no-take marine reserve) in the northern Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary in November 2001. Both species are heavily exploited in the region. Our objective was to characterize site fidelity and movement behavior along the reef tract to the north and south of the release point. Fishes were collected by baited hook and line from the surface, surgically-tagged with coded-acoustic transmitters, and returned to the reef by snorkelers. Tracking of fish movement behavior was conducted by five acoustic receivers deployed on the seafloor from Davis Reef in the south to Pickles Reef in the north. Fishes were tracked for up to eight months. Results indicated that the majority of signal detections for individual fish from both species were recorded at the two Conch Reef receivers. Limited movement from Conch Reef to Davis Reef was recorded, but no signal detections were recorded at the two sites to the north of Conch Reef. These results suggest that both species show site fidelity to Conch Reef. Future studies will seek to characterize this site fidelity with increased temporal and spatial resolution at Conch Reef.

The movement ABC: a cross-cultural comparison of preschool children from Hong Kong, Taiwan and the USA

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the suitability of the Movement Assessment Battery for Children (M-ABC) for use in Greater China. Chinese children numbering 255 between the ages of 4 and 6 from Hong Kong and 544 from Taiwan were tested individually on the standardized test contained within the M-ABC. Data from these 799 children were compared to that presented in the test manual for the 493 children of the same age comprising the United States standardization sample. Both within-culture and cross-cultural differences were statistically significant when all items of the M-ABC were examined simultaneously, but effect sizes were too low to be considered meaningful. However, descriptive analysis of the cut-off scores used for impairment detection on the test suggested that adjustments to some items would be desirable for these particular Chinese populations.
