La pragmatización del conocimiento en la Universidad "modernizada". Otros significados y acciones en fragmentos de nuestra memoria colectiva

Este trabajo focaliza su mirada en la crisis de la Universidad Argentina en el marco del proceso de transformación que fue imponiendo la economía capitalista, a partir de las últimas décadas del siglo XX, hasta nuestros días. La "modernización" impuesta a la Universidad desde los parámetros de la eficiencia, provocaron actos de resistencia por parte de la comunidad educativa. A través de la selección de tres "acontecimientos" institucionales considerados relevantes se pretende reconstruir un fragmento de la memoria colectiva de la Facultad de Humanidades y Artes de la U.N.R. (Univ. Nac. de Rosario). Estos "actos del recuerdo" provocan una dinámica al servicio de las acciones presentes, para no renunciar a un deseo emancipatorio. Desde ese lugar se consideran valiosas las ponencias de los distintos docentes, que junto con los autores seleccionados pretenden generar un debate para dar respuestas a la crisis socio-económica e institucional de estos "nuevos tiempos". Ante la nueva ideología que impone un "lenguaje unidimensional" se pone en escena la dimensión histórica del significado/s de los actores en este proceso que permanentemente sostiene la relación dialéctica entre educación-sociedad. Las demandas "pragmáticas" de adaptación al mundo laboral requieren que la Universidad tenga una mirada crítica cuando se propongan cambios curriculares

Os jovens e o jornal nacional: fragmentos das relações entre cultura e educação na recepção do noticiário

Este estudo aborda as matérias edificantes do Jornal Nacional e a maneira como elas são compreendidas pelos grupos de jovens selecionados para esta pesquisa. O objetivo é avaliar se há diferença na percepção das informações dessas matérias por jovens de diferentes estratos sociais e culturais, pretende-se também, verificar se esses jovens percebem nas matérias edificantes algum tipo de ação cidadã. Este estudo se torna relevante visto que as transformações no processo de informação nos meios de comunicação de massa têm proporcionado grande velocidade na transmissão das mensagens. Sendo assim, alguns autores acreditam que o surgimento das novas tecnologias faz com que as pessoas sejam influenciadas por várias mídias, simultaneamente. Nesse sentido, o público jovem é um segmento importante dentro do universo dos receptores. É na juventude que o indivíduo tem sua formação aprimorada pelos meios que cumprem esse papel formador, como a escola, os pais e os meios de comunicação, cada um interagindo de acordo com a sua especificidade. Utilizando a discussão em grupo com alunos do Ensino Médio de uma escola pública e uma particular, foi possível ter a visão de como a amostra selecionada assimila a temática.(AU)

A poética do corpo não-verbal: um olhar para a comicidade em cena

Throughout our history as an actor, director and teacher, we appreciate comedic performances they proposed a dialogue with the public through the body language of the performers whose performances abdicate the use of speech of the actors. This way of representing, in the silence of the stage, caught our attention and sparked our curiosity about the subject, which is directly related to the poetic constructions of the body on the scene. Before initial readings on the subject, we begin to understand that for a long time in human history, especially in the West, understanding body was constructed from various epistemological looks disregarded the body as a unit, an incarnation of the subject in all . This kind of thinking, reflecting the philosophy of modernity, reverberated strongly about the aesthetic issues of art making, here specifically in Theatre. For several centuries the theatrical make up molded from various aesthetic elements, but ignoring the potential of embodiment of the artist, ie the theatrical text, for example, was considered for a long time, as the main element of the scene and gave little emphasis on dramaturgy elaborate body. With the emergence of reflections on the subject, brought especially from the early twentieth century, the perception of the body as a creative element and creator, also began to gain ground. Over time artistic practices began to glimpse the creative possibilities of the body, including rethinking its relationship with the text written with the spoken word. And as part of these new reflections on the body in the creation process, we proposed this research, we have entitled "A poetics of non-verbal body: a look at the comic on the scene." In our research on this subject, also seek to understand how the corporeality of the actor may give us clues to realize / build nonverbal body and comical scene. From this perspective we can analyze how could the construction of a comical and non-verbal dramaturgy from the phenomenology of laughter. And with that look, we want to point out some aspects and procedures, arising from reflections on corporeality and comedy, that constitute, among other possible, non-verbal construction methodology scenic.

Parâmetros biológicos de Herpsilochmus pectoralis Sclater 1857 (Aves: Thamnophilidae) em fragmentos de mata atlântica do Nordeste do Brasil

The study of birds represents an important tool for the understanding of the processes involved in behavioral and morphological patterns. The species we have studied belongs to Thamnophilidae family, the third largest family restricted to the Neotropic ecozone. They are popularly known as antbirds and comprise 209 species. A large portion of the species has cryptic behavior, making the acoustic communication an important tool for maintaining contact among birds. Herpsilochmus pectoralis Sclater 1857 has evident sexual dimorphism, measured between 10 and 12 cm height and it is found in forest fragments in the Northeast and it is also categorized as vulnerable to extinction process. This study was conducted in three sandbank fragments on the east coast of the state of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. With the help of tape recordings between 2006 and 2012 it was possible to describe and characterize the sing of H. pectoralis. The sing from male birds has more and longer length than the female sing (16% of dimorphism). No differences were found in the dominant frequency between the sexes. We describe four types of calls from this species repertoire. Through capturing with ornithological nets between 2009 and 2012 it was possible to describe and compare the morphology of H. pectoralis. The species have shown lower corporal mass in the dry season. The young birds showed morphometric similarities in comparison to adults. The species has no accentuated dimorphism in their morphometric characteristics. The young ones with flying capabilities have morphometric characteristics of adults, even though they do not show a characteristic adult plumage. The moult pattern in the species is a characteristic of tropical birds, but it shows short reproductive period, typical of temperate species. Even being in the tropical region, the species suffers with seasonal rainfall, which influences their reproductive phenology and moult (remex and rectrix) cycle. Thus, this dissertation provides information on the biology of H. pectoralis to support the understanding of the relationship of this species to the environment and also to know the variations of morphology and vocal aspects, in order to understand patterns and general characteristics of Thamnophilidae.

Química em cena: uma proposta para formação inicial de professores de química

In educational observed difficulty in train teachers to meet the medium and higher education needs, and one reason for this is the different experiences in the training of educators in relation to those found in the classroom. So often arise criticisms related to relevance and efficiency of degree courses, as regards the performance of its natural mission, which weakens the teacher training. Thus, improving the quality of education is very dependent on the initiatives of teachers, creating teaching alternatives to strengthen their performance in school. From this reflection, it is concluded that teacher training needs new educational proposals that qualify, and so can promote the formation of his students more adequately. Among the educational proposals as alternatives to initial teacher training may use the scientific theater (TC). Considering this possibility, this work has been proposed as investigate and discuss the influence of TC combined with experimentation in the initial training of future teachers in Chemistry who participate in the Groups Fanatics chemistry Theatre (UERN) and Chemistry on Stage (UFRN). Therefore, there was, in a first stage, theatrical essays based on the theater of the oppressed, and written dramaturgical scripts, a collaborative proposal. To incorporate experimentation in chemistry to theater rehearsals, there was a systematic literature search and after content analysis, were selected categories, materials and reagents easily accessible, easy procedures and implementation with low risk of accidents and easy care chemical waste. In the second part we identified: a) the beliefs of student teachers in the use of TC ally trial for initial training of chemistry teachers; b) the influence of TC ally to trial on learning of chemical concepts of high school students who attended the shows; c) the reasons for using or not TC ally to trial by chemistry teachers who participated in the TC group and currently work in the classroom. In this study, questionnaires and interviews were used, compounds, respectively, by a Likert scale and open questions. Quantitative data were analyzed by classical statistics the media, using as centrality measures the average, the concordance argument and the average deviation. Qualitative data were discussed according to content analysis, with categories that emerged from reading the answers. These analyzes concluded that the licensees have a positive view on the use of scientific theater for disclosure of the chemical for use in the learning of chemical concepts, pedagogical and disciplinary knowledge, and to form promotion strategy for research and extension at the University. They credit improvements in their initial training on the use of scientific theater combined with experimentation. The TC provides motivation for the construction of conceptual thinking in an informal way of chemical communication, allowing the student to expand their knowledge, not only favoring the phenomenological approach, but also the construction of chemical knowledge and the internalization of scientific concepts.

Fragmentos e abismos discursivos do Livro do desasocego

Considering Fernando Pessoa’s The Book of Disquiet as edited in English –, written under the would-be heteronym Bernardo Soares, the author of the present thesis has tried to question, and eventually show, the forms through which fragmentary writing can reveal the power of language. The approach to literary corpus of this research was made having in mind the symbolic structure of the representation of language, used by Soares’ character as a continuous life reinvention resource - a character that shows himself as a proclaimer of reflections and aphorisms spread under numerous themes and pieces of text. The The Book of Disquiet has recorded a somewhat unquiet recent history since its first edition in 1982, with a considerable number of editions and editing criteria, having in common Dominique Maingueneau’s (2006) textual analysis as central theoretical subsidy. In the present work, however, the author has sought to endeavor beyond the theory and borders of Maingeneau’s approach, and to bring by the contribution of authors that had already explored confluent issues, e.g. Françoise Susini-Anastapoulos, Gilles Deleuze, Jerónimo Pizarro, Maurice Blanchot, Roland Barthes, and other. Considering that The Book of Disquiet is a fragmentary work by nature, the author believes that multiple contributions are likely to favor multiple approaches and to reveal consistent angles or paths to approaching Soares’ core work.

The influence of interhemispheric connections on ongoing and evoked orientation preference maps and spiking activity in the cat primary visual cortex

In the primary visual cortex, neurons with similar physiological features are clustered together in columns extending through all six cortical layers. These columns form modular orientation preference maps. Long-range lateral fibers are associated to the structure of orientation maps since they do not connect columns randomly; they rather cluster in regular intervals and interconnect predominantly columns of neurons responding to similar stimulus features. Single orientation preference maps – the joint activation of domains preferring the same orientation - were observed to emerge spontaneously and it was speculated whether this structured ongoing activation could be caused by the underlying patchy lateral connectivity. Since long-range lateral connections share many features, i.e. clustering, orientation selectivity, with visual inter-hemispheric connections (VIC) through the corpus callosum we used the latter as a model for long-range lateral connectivity. In order to address the question of how the lateral connectivity contributes to spontaneously generated maps of one hemisphere we investigated how these maps react to the deactivation of VICs originating from the contralateral hemisphere. To this end, we performed experiments in eight adult cats. We recorded voltage-sensitive dye (VSD) imaging and electrophysiological spiking activity in one brain hemisphere while reversible deactivating the other hemisphere with a cooling technique. In order to compare ongoing activity with evoked activity patterns we first presented oriented gratings as visual stimuli. Gratings had 8 different orientations distributed equally between 0º and 180º. VSD imaged frames obtained during ongoing activity conditions were then compared to the averaged evoked single orientation maps in three different states: baseline, cooling and recovery. Kohonen self-organizing maps were also used as a means of analysis without prior assumption (like the averaged single condition maps) on ongoing activity. We also evaluated if cooling had a differential effect on evoked and ongoing spiking activity of single units. We found that deactivating VICs caused no spatial disruption on the structure of either evoked or ongoing activity maps. The frequency with which a cardinally preferring (0º or 90º) map would emerge, however, decreased significantly for ongoing but not for evoked activity. The same result was found by training self-organizing maps with recorded data as input. Spiking activity of cardinally preferring units also decreased significantly for ongoing when compared to evoked activity. Based on our results we came to the following conclusions: 1) VICs are not a determinant factor of ongoing map structure. Maps continued to be spontaneously generated with the same quality, probably by a combination of ongoing activity from local recurrent connections, thalamocortical loop and feedback connections. 2) VICs account for a cardinal bias in the temporal sequence of ongoing activity patterns, i.e. deactivating VIC decreases the probability of cardinal maps to emerge spontaneously. 3) Inter- and intrahemispheric long-range connections might serve as a grid preparing primary visual cortex for likely junctions in a larger visual environment encompassing the two hemifields.

"¡Andá a hilar la lana!" : La construcción del ideal femenino en los fragmentos 618-9 y 681 M de Lucilio a la luz de los intertextos

En la Antigua Roma las mujeres casadas no gozaban de ningún tipo de libertades y todos los placeres les eran vedados a su clase (Rousselle, 2000). Responsables de la gestación de los futuros ciudadanos, su esfera de acción se limitaba al hogar, donde, además de procurarles especial atención a sus maridos e hijos, estaban encargadas de realizar, entre otras tareas, el control de la servidumbre, la administración de los gastos y el tejido (Knapp, 2011). A diferencia de las mujeres de otras clases, prostitutas y esclavas, la conducta de las matronas debía estar regida por la castidad, la reserva, la modestia y la pietas, principales virtudes celebradas en las fuentes epigráficas (CIL 6.23773, 8.11294). Como consecuencia de la corrupción de las costumbres durante la República, Augusto sancionó una serie de leyes (Lex Iulia de maritandis ordinibus y de adulteriis coercendis en 18 a.C., Lex Papia Poppaea en 9 d.C.) que, basándose en la tradición de los antepasados, estaban destinadas a ejercer un fuerte dominio sobre las políticas familiares. Se obligaba a los estratos superiores de la sociedad a contraer uniones legítimas y a tener descendencia, y se sancionaba con severidad a aquellas mujeres que cometían adulterio y que no se ajustaban al modelo femenino que el Estado buscaba imponer (Pomeroy, 1999). Bajo la luz de estas consideraciones acerca de la matrona, nos proponemos ofrecer una lectura posible de los fragmentos 618-9 y 681 M del poeta satírico Lucilio, conservados únicamente por transmisión indirecta. Así pues, a partir de información recabada del contexto social y político, intentamos demostrar que en el horizonte del pensamiento romano se mantiene constante un único ideal de mujer, al mismo tiempo que, a partir de referencias intertextuales, logramos dar sentido(s) a un texto que sólo a simple vista parece no poder decirnos mucho.
