From legal commons to social commons: Brazil and the cultural industry in the 21st century

This article describes some of the current transformations regarding the processes by which information and culture are generated, from the point of view of developing countries. In this brief analysis, the article discusses the role of projects such as Creative Commons for developing countries. It also discusses the idea of legal commons and social commons. While the idea of legal commons can be understood as the voluntary use of licenses such as Creative Commons in order to create a “commons”, the idea of social commons has to do with the tensions between legality and illegality in developing countries. These tensions appear prominently in the so-called global “peripheries”, and in many instances make the legal structure of intellectual property irrelevant, unfamiliar, or unenforceable, for various reasons. With the emergence of digital technology and the Internet, in many places and regions in developing countries (especially in the “peripheries”), technology ended up arriving earlier than the idea of intellectual property. Such a de facto situation propitiated the emergence of cultural industries that were not driven by intellectual property incentives. In these cultural businesses, the idea of “sharing” and of free dissemination of the content is intrinsic to the social circumstances taking place in these peripheries. Also, the appropriation of technology on the part of the “peripheries” ends up promoting autonomous forms of bridging the digital divide, such as the “LAN house” phenomenon discussed below. This paper proposes that many lessons can be learned from the business models emerging from social commons practices in developing countries. The tension between legality and illegality in “peripheral” areas in developing countries is not new. The work of Boaventura de Sousa Santos and others in the 1970s was paradigmatic for the discussion of legal pluralism regarding the occupation of land in Brazil. This paper aims to follow in that same pioneer tradition of studies about legal pluralism, and to apply those principles to the discussion of “intellectual property” rather than the ownership of land.

Educação - Corporeidade - Lazer: saber da experiência cultural em prelúdio

In the passage of life, the labyrinth of songs and corners are propitious ways for a better comprehension, perception and incorporation of learnings that emerge from our subjectiveness in a magic caught by senses. Eyesight, taste, hearing, touch and smell in communication with the world, put us in front of cultural diversities. The ludicity accumulated by experiences promote the flow of hilarious and concrete discoveries that express themselves in work and leisure demonstrations. Such reflections emerge indicators to the problematic construction centralized in the incorporation of cultural experience knowledge to the formation process and professional interventions in this rule and area. From this significant problematic, aiming to deepen studies, we favored leisure as field of investigative production in full expansion. This, for sure, was an exercise of qualification that guided us through meander of education and made us dip into studies about the corporeity. A research in which the scenery was painted and constructed with the complicity of the culture lived with shine, colors, rhythm and drummings of one of the most present cultural cycles: carnival. Recognized as a stimulant for beauty, participation, socialization, and helped us to enter in the essence of gestures and expressions of corporeity, to think, elaborate and socialize a critic-scientific knowledge which, appropriating from the rhythm of colors, of sounds, of tonalities, of senses and of meanings impregnated in the web of life. All these things seduced the researcher, making imagination flow amid ludic-creative dialogues with the imaginary of researchers creation and production in the rule and area of leisure, education and corporeity. Option that made us outline as objective to investigate and interpret how leisure teachers-researchers, from their studies, researches and interventions, locate and incorporate the knowledge from cultural experience to the formation process and intervention of professionals in this rule and in this area, emphasizing the contributions from this knowledge to fence and qualify this praxis. So, as living each cultural scenery, each epistemological contribution was feeding the production with images of the different versions of the Brazilian breedings, creating and raising expectations and new discoveries and newcomers. With the seriousness of a scientific study, we lived an xxiii academic experience with complex intensity, rigor and coherence, eliminating, step by step, the risks and limitations always present in a work of this magnitude. However, we weren t, even for one moment, alone. Our epistemic regard always maintained mediated by the principles of a methodological approach - the Etnomethodology, that while central guide provided us clues to unveil the lived world by our people-playful , in a universe of 15 members, that allowed themselves to comprehend, comment, analyze. This way, grasping the object in interactions arised and provoked by narrative interview, it was systematically dialected by (re) interpretation of images and formulations of people-playful, enriched by their beliefs, myths, conceptions and rituals inherent to knowledge from cultural experience, which each one attuned with Brazilian and international history, in a mixture of senses echoed from songs and tales. Inspired in drummings and percussions, clothing and choreographies of gestures and expressions, in mixtures produced in unit interactions in the multiplicity shown as necessary requests to the totality of life, with ludicity the rescue of the past, the conquest of present and the construction of future was the axle guide. This rich process of scientific creation made us realize that is possible qualify and empower the praxis in the rule and area of leisure incorporating the knowledge from cultural experience. What also becomes possible is the recuperation of objective revolutionaries and changing conditions of praxis itself with the view of strengthening and triggerment of vital elements in the rule and area of leisure. We also reaffirm that from this praxis emerge elements necessary to human formation in plenitude, by the appropriation of knowledge that guide the facing of challenges of a complex and plural world that valorize education, corporeity and leisure

O currículo do curso de pedagogia da UFPA/Campus Universitário do Baixo-Tocantins e a identidade cultural das populações do campo

O estudo focaliza a análise da Identidade Cultural das Populações do Campo e sua relação com o Currículo do Curso de Pedagogia do Campus Universitário do Baixo Tocantins da Universidade Federal do Pará, partindo da análise do seu Projeto Político-Pedagógico, dos planos de curso das disciplinas que fazem parte do Núcleo Básico do desenho curricular do Curso: História Geral da Educação, História da Educação do Brasil e da Amazônia, Teoria do Currículo e Prática Pedagógica e das Diretrizes Operacionais para a Educação Básica nas Escolas do Campo. O objetivo principal desse estudo foi investigar como o Currículo do Curso de Pedagogia do CUBT/UFPA estabelece relações com a Identidade Cultural das Populações do Campo. A metodologia utilizada privilegiou a pesquisa de enfoque qualitativo, com ênfase a análise documental e entrevistas semi estruturada. O estudo demonstrou que o Curso de Pedagogia em sua trajetória no Brasil desde 1939, tem sido marcado por discussões em torno de sua especificidade, e que seu currículo vem ligado a uma política que hoje toma como base a docência. O Curso de Pedagogia do CUBT/UFPA, traz em seu Projeto Político-Pedagógico a dinâmica organizada de acordo com a estrutura do Curso de Pedagogia do Campus do Guamá/UFPA, priorizando em seu contexto a realidade urbana, pois como delineia o desenho curricular do curso, quando em sua organização, garante a discussão da educação rural apenas em seu Núcleo Eletivo. O Campus Universitário do Baixo Tocantins, localizado no município de Abaetetuba-Pa vivencia em sua realidade o cotidiano das populações do campo, não podendo se ver separado de tal especificidade. Para tanto, o Curso de Pedagogia necessita de um Projeto Político-Pedagógico voltado também para a identidade cultural dos povos do campo, não anulando o urbano, mas construindo espaços de valorização identitária. Há necessidade de considerar um currículo numa perspectiva dialética, configurador de práticas sociais e culturais sustentadas pela reflexão enquanto práxis, devendo não ser visto como um plano a cumprir, mas como um processo que se constrói entre o atuar e o refletir.
