Botticelli: pintura e teoria

Esta obra analisa com profundidade o trabalho do florentino Sandro Botticelli (aproximadamente 1445-1510), um dos mais conhecidos representantes da arte renascentista, autor de afrescos que decoram a Capela Sistina e de ícones da pintura ocidental, como O Nascimento de Vênus e A Primavera. Aqui, Débora Barbam Mendonça toma como ponto de partida a comparação do estudo Clássico e Anticlássico, de Giulio Carlo Argan, sobre a pintura do florentino, com obras de outros teóricos e historiadores. O objetivo é estudar o conceito de graça na pintura de Boticelli e confrontá-lo com os pressupostos teóricos da produção do artista. A autora discute a interpretação de especialistas sobre o Renascimento como período histórico, filosófico e artístico, discorre sobre o legado teórico da pintura humanista e busca o ideal de belo intrínseco à obra de Boticelli. No terceiro capítulo, Mendonça analisa detalhadamente a pintura A Virgem do magnificat como referência para situar Boticelli como artista intelectual do Renascimento e destacar na obra sua ideia de graça. A filósofa conclui que Boticelli seguia uma linha teórica, mas a partir de uma escolha individual, ou seja, desenvolvia uma estética psicológica. E, por meio dos elementos formais de que dispunha, transmitia em suas obras o conceito de graça, transpondo ao mesmo tempo o resultado do diálogo que mantinha com a Filosofia, a ciência, a religião e, nostalgicamente, com a Antiguidade

Proselitismo televisivo e corporeidades na expressão religiosa católica

Esta pesquisa teve como objeto de estudo os modelos de corpos difundidos em programas televisivo-religiosos. Os recursos midiáticos têm sido cada vez mais explorados pelas religiões, formando verdadeiras comunidades virtuais de consolo. Constituem novos caminhos para a difusão de modelos específicos do viver religioso, de forte impacto para a construção de corporeidades. Trata-se, pois, de fenômeno complexo e diversificado de proselitismo religioso com conseqüências para normatização dos corpos, de grande interesse para a área da Educação Física. Optou-se por estudar este fenômeno no Movimento da Renovação Carismática Católica (RCC), por ser um exemplo expressivo do uso de recursos midiáticos da Igreja Católica. Os dados foram coletados através de fontes primárias e secundárias. Os resultados mostraram que esse movimento religioso difunde corporeidades que expressam seu projeto proselitista na sociedade brasileira, em diálogo com o mercado de bens religiosos brasileiro.

Avaliação da viabilidade econômica do uso de um aquecedor solar de água de garrafas pet para aquecer o ar de uma cabine de pintura e uma estufa de secagem

Nowadays, the biggest part of the world's energy supply comes from fossil fuels and nuclear. However, the current need of the society for the preservation of the environment and wise use of natural resources, has favored the search for alternative energy sources and improvement of energy efficiency. In this new scenario, companies are beginning to mobilize in order to adapt its facilities to renewable energy. Solar, with its immense potential, not really exploited yet, can be very useful for companies that want to beat their sustainability goals. Given these facts, the aim is to evaluate the economic viability of introducing a solar water heater which uses a colorless PET bottle as one of its components in a plant. The hot water generated will heat the air of a paint booth and a warm house, reducing energy consumption, since they are heated by electric heaters

Utilização de técnicas de planejamento de experimentos na análise de viabilidade de alterações no processo de pintura de grades Antracite em uma indústria automotiva

The search for better performance and competitive advantage in the current market scenario has made organizations keep their focus on quality planning and the use of effective techniques aimed at continuous improvement and optimization of processes and resources. The situation is not different for the painting process in the automotive industry, which has a significant amount of variables and influential external factors. This work, developed at General Motors in São José dos Campos, aims to analyze the feasibility of changing the painting process of the pickup S10 railings in the Antracite color located in the main line to the another line located in a Painting Repair Booth at the plant and, therefore, to study the possibility about reducing the window of cure for Antracite’s enamel by using Design of Experiments’ techniques. Applying this method is possible to find the best arrangement among studied factors of Painting Repair Booth that are, in this case, the Temperature, in Celsius degrees, and Skid’s Steps, in seconds, and it’s also possible to get their behavior according to quality requirements specified by GM rules for the Brightness and Paint Adhesion on the part. As a result, it can conclude that is possible to paint the S10 Antracite railings in the painting process’ line of Painting Repair Booth, and with the new configuration obtained by the Design of Experiments for the process variables, there are significant gains related to the parts’ quality, costs reduction and the optimization of production capacity, much in the main line as in the line of the Painting Repair Booth

Oswald de Andrade e Tarsila do Amaral: poesia e pintura modernistas

The objective of the present text is to establish connections between literature and painting through the comparison between Oswald de Andrade’s poem “Longo da Linha” and Tarsila do Amaral’s painting “Palmeiras”, both belonging to the Brazilian Modernist movement Pau-Brasil. To emphasize also the step taken by the two artists, in Modernism, against the previous academicism, C. S. Peirce’s semiotics theory will be used as analytic basis to demonstrate, in Tarsila’s painting, a path towards planarity and stylization to produce quality effects, closer to the shape and the adventure of senses than to symbolization, whilst for Oswald, this same path leads to the presence of visualization as composition factor.

A crença religiosa sob a perspectiva semiótica de Peirce

Current paper presents the relationships between beliefs, specifically religious ones, and the Peirce’s theory of interpretants. It is assumed that religious belief emphasizes the emotional aspect of faithful, preventing criticism and change of habit. According to the author, the nature of cognition is contrary to the determination of this kind of belief since it is based on the method and fallibility of hypotheses. It is not enough for the method to deduce its consequences but seeks the inductive verification of their results in the long run and through the community of beings who thinks through signs. The problem of religious belief is the acceptance of a transcendent world and intuition which guides behavior. The vague idea of God is not submitted to scientific hypotheses but, engendered by religious systems, it creates signs whose emotional appeal is evident, redirecting it to its own target principles. Therefore, is repeats the success achieved in the past by dogmas, which were effective to appease the anguish of the believer and reproduce order. Knowledge should not have any boundaries because it is grounded on the method and cognition of reality.

A análise do discurso diante de estranhos espelhos: visualidade e (inter)discursividade na pintura

This paper aims to understand the discursive dimension of some paintings through Michel Foucault'sdiscourse analysis approach. The image of the mirror in several canonical paintings was selected, intending to observe its discursive operation as an element of the visual artistic utterance. Basically, this text has three parts: firstly, it determines the place occupied by the aesthetic discourse in Michel Pêcheux's and Michel Foucault's works; secondly, it focuses on the analysis of three European paintings, namely The Maids of Honour by Velásquez, A Bar at the Folies-Bergère by Manet, and Dangerous Liaisons by Magritte; thirdly, it discusses the intersection between visuality and interdiscursivity based on a) the contributions of M. Foucault's works on aesthetic discourse and b) the image of the mirror found in those paintings.

Diversidade religiosa e formação de professores de ciências: uma discussão em Habermas e um caso no ensino de Física

This article brings a discussion of the implications of religious diversity on science education as well as on teacher education. To orientate our discussion, we adopt as framework the ideas of German philosopher Jürgen Habermas on the political relationship that should govern relations between a naturalistic culture and different religious cultures. We also present a research with future teachers of physics, which aimed at investigating the positions taken by the future teachers towards non scientific models presented by students about the origins of the universe. We tried to identify, especially, the expectation of these future teachers would demonstrated about the contributing of the lifting of such models in class by students. We were able to find that most of them believe that the manifestation of these ideas could bring contributions to the discussion in the classroom. We also found that teaching practices based on communication, questioning and dialogue of the undergraduate course done by the prospective teachers has generated an ownership by the undergraduates of these practices and their potential application in other situations and other discussions, including inter-religious.
