Os filhos evangélicos do novo caldeirão do diabo: a conversão religiosa na penitenciária de alcaçuz

The theme of the research is inserted at a field of intersection between the Sociology of Religion and Sociology of Violence, having as the general objective study the sociological meaning of the conversion of prisoners that lives at the biggest prison (Prison of Alcaçuz) of Rio Grande do Norte to the evangelical churches. The research is justified, because Brazil shelter the fourth greater arrested population arrested of the world, with projections indicating that it can turn the greatest in 2034. Besides, this study about religious conversion of prisoners to the Social Sciences is too important, because is a theme little developed in Brazil and deserves attention, one time that as the arrested people as the evangelicals are in expansion in our country. Starting from the precedent observations, we guide ourselves by the following problematic of research: the religious practice in Alcaçuz presents a mere instrumental perspective, where the actions of prisoners converted was on purpose oriented to conquest material or symbolic privileges; or purely religious, where seek a moral renovation? To develop the work, the scientific methodology adopted was exploratory and explanatory, using the Goffman´s theory about total institutions and presentation of self, and Blumer´s doctrine relating to Symbolic Interacionism and the Story life method, besides considerations about evangelical religion. Having this theoretical basis, was accomplished the Field research, when were made interviews and applied questionnaires to 11 Jailer Agents, 31 prisoners, Director and Vice-Dictor (in November, 2011), the coordinator of social projects of the prison and the coordinator of evangelization at the prisons in Rio Grande do Norte. As results, it was seeing in Alcaçuz that the prisoners can be separated in two groups: the one of Pavilions and other one of the Medical Section. The Pavilions are branded for managerial and structural problems, where are found idle prisoners in collective cells and with a historical of escaping attempts, mutinies and murders. The Medical Section has some individual cells or destined for two people, besides few collective also, and the prisoners work and have a more disciplined behavior, there isn t escapes or rebellions and that, for these reasons end for have more confidence from the Administration. About the presence of evangelical prisoners, most are at Medical Section, where exist a specific place to the cults (what doesn t at Pavilions). At the end, the conclusion is that the prisoner that says himself evangelical in Alcaçuz, although can be seeing with distrust about your real conversion, he gets win a trust vote and until the opposite being demonstrated in other words, that he is not hiding himself behind the bible to divert the vigilance of Direction and practice disciplinary faults without make any suspicions, is treated with more respect and has more opportunities live at Medical Section; have work, that most of times is paid and guarantee the homologation of your payment of penalty with work, besides other benefits, diminishing his time in jail

The methodology Balanced Scorecard (BSC) focuses on the major critical issues of modern organizations, whether with or without profit. The measurement of the effective performance of the latter is by evaluating the successful implementation of organizational strategy. The aim of this paper is to present the development of a system of performance measurement strategy for a nonprofit organization, whose object of study is the Associação de Apoio as Comunidades do Campo - AACC, in the context of the BSC methodology of Kaplan and Norton. The methodology of this case study is an exploratory, descriptive and qualitative, and diagnose the coherence of the Strategy Map in an organization, based strategic planning from 2010 to 2012. Initially conducted a literature review covering the main aspects of strategy maps and performance evaluation involving the translation of the BSC and strategy evaluation. The main results of the proposed approach refers to evaluation of overall scores for each dimension of the BSC methodology, financial, customer, internal processes, learning and growth. These results are able to help the organization evaluate and revise their strategy and, in general, to adopt management methods more accurately. Data collection is centered on interviews with semi-structured questionnaire. The findings highlight on balancing and alignment of strategic objectives, low causality map, strategic communication insufficient and fragmented. For interviewees organizational culture is the biggest impediment to structuring a management model based on indicators and strategic process should be initiated by non-financial indicators gradually. The performance indicators of the AACC/RN portray more meritocracy operational procedures of social projects in the context of the Strategic Map determined in a shortterm over the long term. However, there is evidence of improved performance management and strategic taken as a basis of planning as both the strategic map structured. Therefore, the nonprofits need to adopt a form of management that enables planning, setting objectives and targets that provide the continuity of its activities, and generating instruments that can measure the financial performance and non-financial, in order to develop strategic actions for growth and sustainability

O objetivo desta dissertação consiste no estudo das dinâmicas e inter-relações entre colônias do Oriente e Potiritá no contexto do Projeto Bauxita de Paragominas. Partindo deste prisma o estudo se concentra nas comunidades no entorno do Platô Miltonia Três, onde se concentra a exploração de Bauxita levando em consideração a área do mineroduto que abrange o município de Paragominas. Neste estudo é abordado a inter-relação da empresa privada, no âmbito da exploração mineral, representada pela VALE - através do Projeto bauxita de Paragominas, com o poder local consubstanciado pela gestão municipal (prefeitura), e destes com as comunidades. Para efeito de analise utilizou-se a pesquisa qualitativa e o método etnográfico valendo-se de técnicas como o roteiro de entrevista dentre outras, visando apreender os meandros da participação e o significado das inter-relações. Consideraram-se as categorias conflito, poder e participação das comunidades rurais no sentido de apreender o seu significado no contexto estudado. Essas análises permitiram compreender como ocorre a capacidade de intervenção das mesmas, face aos problemas sociais que os atingem, suas reivindicações, e seus anseios. Conclui-se que a participação como cidadãos e o acesso a informação geram responsabilidades e os torna responsáveis e capazes de transformar a realidade. Em especial uma transformação coerente com projetos sociais que os favoreçam.

Entre leis e baionetas: Independência e Cabanagem no Médio Amazonas (1808-1840)

O Grão-Pará na primeira metade do século XIX vivenciou um período de crise política e comoções sociais. Num espaço de tempo de vinte anos a província se viu emergida em dois processos revolucionários que agitaram suas vilas e provocaram mudanças significativas, sobretudo em suas estruturas políticas e representativas, a saber, a Independência e a Cabanagem. Ambos os processos se configuraram por uma variedade de discursos políticos e projetos sociais específicos, características estas que lhes imprimiram um caráter plural, de múltiplos significados e a ideia de um movimento heterogêneo. Estas particularidades no cenário político do Grão-Pará, da Independência e da Cabanagem, nos levam a compreender estes processos pela perspectiva da multiplicidade de projetos e das ações políticas envolvidas na região do médio Amazonas. Dentre estes projetos percebemos a relevância da luta pela separação político-administrativa do Alto Amazonas da província do Grão-Pará para a criação da província do Rio Negro. Este projeto foi sustentado tanto pelos discursos da elite local, como pelos anseios das camadas populares. Para a elite local a questão de separar-se ou não do Grão-Pará era tão importante quanto separar-se ou não de Portugal o era para a elite em Belém. Contudo, se as elites lutavam para ampliar seus poderes, as camadas populares, especialmente os tapuias, muitas vezes também disputavam mais espaços, poderes e direitos. Nesse sentido, este estudo propõe-se compreender como se desenvolveram estes discursos nos processos revolucionários da primeira metade do século XIX, analisando os projetos apresentados no cenário político do Grão-Pará tendo como pano de fundo deste cenário os processos de Independência e Cabanagem.

La potencia en la escena. Teatro Comunitario de Rivadavia : Historicidad, política, actores y sujetos en juego/s (2010-2014)

La tesis titulada "La potencia en la escena. Teatro Comunitario de Rivadavia: historicidad, política, actores y sujetos en juego/s (2010-2014)", propone un análisis histórico-político de las prácticas del Grupo de Teatro Comunitario de Rivadavia: los modos de intervención en el territorio y los niveles de transformación/ reproducción de las dinámicas sociales en las comunidades en las cuales se desarrolla. A su vez, aborda el estudio de los procesos subjetivos que atraviesan a los miembros del grupo, generando interrogantes en torno al modo de sentir, significar y enunciar de los participantes en su articulación individual/colectiva. Partimos de la hipótesis de que la conformación del grupo teatral creó prácticas estéticas novedosas que motivaron la constitución de nuevos actores, proyectos políticos, culturales y sociales concretos, como la Cooperativa La Comunitaria. Como en todo proceso de transformación, los movimientos inscriptos en el orden de lo social involucran diversos actores e intereses en pugna que se entrecruzan dinámicamente en el espacio público, y las luchas por el poder que se desarrollan en el ámbito político-institucional y en espacios de construcción colectiva configuran un mapa poco claro de las lógicas de fondo que delinean estas propuestas. Buscando explorar estos ?grises?, proponemos construir un análisis en torno al proyecto que sustenta los procesos generados por el grupo y las diversas dimensiones que lo configuran. Planteamos reconstruir y analizar las diversas dimensiones que atraviesan las prácticas del grupo de teatro para rescatar el "estar siendo" del mismo y estudiar articulaciones entre niveles de realidad y niveles de abstracción en campos diversos
