The Borg, a collective of humanoid cyborgs linked together in a hive-mind and modeled on the earthly superorganisms of ant colonies and beehives, has been the most feared alien race in the Star Trek universe. The formidable success of the Borg in assimilating their foes corresponds to the astounding success of superorganisms in our own biosphere. Yet the Borg also serves as a metaphor for another collective of biological entities known as the corporation. In the Anthropocene epoch, corporations have become the most powerful force on the planet; their influence on the social world and the environment exceeds any government and may determine the continued sustainability of human life. Corporations have been described as people and as machines, but neither metaphor accurately describes their essence or contributes to an understanding that might resist their power. This paper reframes our understanding of the corporation by examining the metaphors that are used to describe it, and by suggesting an entirely new metaphor viewing the Borg and the corporation through the lens of sociobiology. I will argue that the corporation is a new form of superorganism that has become the dominant species on the planet and that the immense, intractable power of a globalized, corporate hive-mind has become the principal obstacle to addressing the planetary emergency of climate change. Reframing our metaphoric understanding of corporations as biological entities in the planetary biosphere may enable us to imagine ways to resist their increasing dominance and create a sustainable future.

Los autores territoriales son aquellos que habitan y habilitan un espacio geográfico que también deviene político e ideológico; la literatura producida por estos autores, la literatura territorial, mapea y focaliza en puntos espaciales y opera como un dispositivo de poder, como una maquinaria legitimadora de representaciones culturales. El territorio se instala como una metáfora espacial del escritor animalario quien marca un espacio, lo ocupa y atraviesa, a partir de un proceso siempre inacabado de localización de fronteras discursivas, semióticas y simbólicas que a su vez resulta indispensable para pensar y deslindar los proyectos de los escritores. La figura autoral de la cual nos ocupamos es la de Raúl Novau, cuya producción literaria ofrece itinerarios de lectura lúdica y placentera, pero que además invita a la diseminación de conversaciones y debates respecto a temáticas polémicas y vinculadas con tensiones culturales de este territorio y sus fronteras –como el hambre, la miseria, la situación de los inmigrantes, la pobreza del colono, la marginación de las comunidades guaraníes, las diversas carencias/ausencias en las zonas rurales, entre otros. Por otra parte, la literatura de este autor también explora las vinculaciones e intersticios entre la literatura y los animales desde una escritura caleidoscópica y polifónica; en ella, la animalidad y la humanidad conversan habilitando planos dialógicos superpuestos e imágenes múltiples, a la vez que escande en líneas de fuga con temáticas y problemáticas que diseminan lecturas críticas respecto a las fronteras interculturales, dinámicas y lábiles del territorio misionero.

FERNANDES, M. de Fátima. A expressão metafórica do sentido de existir na Literatura Cabo-verdiana contemporânea – João Varela, Corsino Fortes e José Luís Tavares.2013. 274 f. Tese (Doutorado) FFLCH – Faculdade de Filosofia, Letras e Ciências Humanas, Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo, 2013. A produção literária assinada pelos autores cabo-verdianos João Vário (heterônimo de João Varela), Corsino Fortes e José Luís Tavares constitui o objeto central desta análise desenvolvida a partir do estudo teórico do conceito de Identidade, visando enquadrar teoricamente a produção literária cabo-verdiana contemporânea, identificar as principais linhas de sua orientação (conteúdos, temática, estilos, retórica), relevando a receptividade da intercomunicação cultural e literária de/entre eles, bem como apresentar uma fundamentação teórica e metodológica para a leitura de suas obras. Aliando conteúdos teóricos aos contextos de produção poética pré e pós-independência, analisamos poemas das obras Exemplos (1966-1998), de João Vário, A cabeça calva de Deus (2001), de Corsino Fortes, e Agreste matéria mundo (2004), de José Luís Tavares – para verificar o posicionamento dos sujeitos literários na (re)construção da(s) identidade(s) na Literatura Cabo-Verdiana a partir dos anos 1960 do século XX à atualidade. O tratamento do tema visa caracterizar uma expressão metafórica do sentido de existir na Literatura Cabo-verdiana contemporânea, consubstanciada essencialmente no cruzamento de orientações dos estudos literários pós-estruturalistas, pós-coloniais, Estudos Comparados e Teoria da Literatura, e ainda com base na exploração de conteúdos literários com uma forte dimensão filosófica da contemporaneidade, conforme concebida por teóricos como Stuart Hall, Zigmut Bauman, Antonny Giddens, Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida, Edward Said, Hassan Zaoual e Benedict Anderson, Milton Santos, entre outros.

The present study has got as its aim to show how the impressions management is being used by the hotels in Paraiba State. For that, the dramma or role play perspective has been adopted as a model for service management. From the theater metaphor, the physical environment and its components can be seen as a scenery of the service show. We conduct the reader to notice the importance of the consummer about the service quality demand and its influence on his satisfaction. A methodology with exploring and qualifying nature has been adopted by using the analyses of content technique in interviews applied to hotel managers lebeled as having 4 and 5 stars in the State, trying to check how impression management takes place, identifying impression management tools used in relation to the physical evidences and to contacting people, as well as checking managers views in the survey about the use of impression management for client satisfaction make. The information revealed that managers, maybe for being unaware about impression management theory, haven t considered neither the physical evidences yet, nor contacting people as marketing tools. About the physical evidences, we could see that hotels take actions in a pulverized way referring to environment decoration and colors, however there isn t a global usage of physical evidences to highlight the service. Contacting people by their turn, receive better importance and attention. It was possible to make sure that managers are aware about the influence of the employee over the attendance quality. This way, we may come into a conclusion that impression management at Paraiba hotels has been under used, as long as managers seem to be, most times, turned to actions related to contacting people, not having realized the planning importance and national-wide use of service scenery in a genaral way yet

La ingeniera de software se enfoca en el desarrollo de aplicaciones desde diferentes puntos de vista usando diversos enfoques, uno de ellos es el Desarrollo de Software Dirigido por Modelos (MDSD, por sus siglas en inglés); al desarrollar soluciones bajo esta propuesta se han visualizado grandes ventajas como velocidad, bajos costos y calidad en los desarrollos, sin embargo también algunas desventajas como la dificultad de intervenir las transformaciones, falta expresividad en los modelos y la generación hacia múltiples plataformas; este último debido a que no es posible delimitar con claridad las características de la plataforma destino al especificar los modelos y las transformaciones que constituyen el proceso de desarrollo. Durante el progreso del presente trabajo se trata de mitigar las tres dificultades antes mencionadas por medio de la construcción de un Lenguaje de Dominio Específico (DSL, por sus siglas en inglés) con toda la información funcional de la aplicación, usando diagramas de paquetes y de clases en UML y diagramas de procesos de negocio en BPMN. Este trabajo hace parte de la macro propuesta Metáfora donde se desarrolló un plugin de Eclipse que está basado en el framework de modelado de eclipse (EMF, por sus siglas en inglés). El plugin tiene las funciones de asistente guiando al usuario a través del proceso iterativo de transformaciones hasta llegar al código fuente. El software que fue desarrollado para que el proceso de generación se pueda parametrizar de acuerdo a los modelos y transformaciones realizadas por el analista de desarrollo con ayuda del analista de negocio. Se tiene la total libertad para configurar las secuencias de transformación y aplicarlas en un orden determinado a un conjunto de modelos específicos con el fin de generar parte de una aplicación.

A lo largo de los últimos 30 años hemos desarrollado un enfoque de La Psicología Comunitaria Crítica, enfocada en lo local pero consciente al nivel global. Sus características que se distingue de otros enfoques en la psicología comunitaria y crítica incluyen, 1) el concepto de la acción prefigurativa, que hace vinculación entre proyectos e iniciativas locales y un proyecto más amplia de cambio social ético, 2) un entendimiento de comunidad que refleja su naturaleza contestada y su diversidad vivida, 3) una prioridad de trabajar para ellos quienes son lo más oprimidos y excluidos por sistemas de poder dominantes, 4) conceptualización ecológica y sistémica que incluye nuestro uso distintivo de los conceptos de frontera y borde y la ética de stewardship, 5) el uso de un repertorio amplio de métodos y teorías apropiadas a la diversidad de problemas encontrados por psicólogos comunitarios. Ofrecemos también unas reflexiones críticas sobre nuestro enfoque.

This paper aims at studying how circular dance can afford to sight-disabled peoples movement and how they can learn to cope with the deep movement of relation, consciousness, appropriation and communion with the world. Inside circular dance, a cosmic metaphor, is inscribed the movement of the world, which tells and changes amorously the human history. In the works of Paulo Freire and Maurice Merleau-Ponty one can find the necessary support to discuss, as long as possible, movement and existence. Research-action is used as a methodological approach whose empirical center is placed on the Institute of Education and Rehabilitation of Blind, in Natal, which shelters eight sightdisabled adults. The research s data reveal that the practice of circular dance concurs to enlarge the movement of the research s subjects, to develop a more accurate perception of their selves and of their own capacities, as well as improve the relations Me/Others, Me/World, which require a context of differences. The study has revealed that the practice of dance develops a better perception of the limits and surpasses as a human condition and, in consequence, the discovery of one s own body and the other s body as a resource of lessons and representations of the self and of the world. It lets out the development of a new way of thinking and coping with discrimination surrounding the disabled persons. In movement, in circular dance, the barrier between sight disablement and vision loses force.

El objetivo de este trabajo consiste en interpretar la forma en que la novela Calypso metaforiza el encuentro – desencuentro entre la cultura meseteña y la cultura del Caribe costarricense. Con base en las características históricas de ese encuentro, Tatiana Lobo pone frente a frente a los dos grupos culturales y recrea los rasgos básicos de cada uno de ellos. A partir de aquí, desarrolla una valoración de ambas culturas en la que destaca sus profundas diferencias en la concepción del mundo, para lo cual utiliza una metáfora muy productiva que le permite, por un lado, recrear la imposibilidad que tiene el blanco de entender al negro y, por otro, parodiar negativamente la cultura costarricense meseteña. El recurso que utiliza es el caly(i)pso, como manifestación propia de la cultura afrocaribeña, pero además como elemento evocador de la cultura clásica griega.

This dissertation aims to look into the structure of the event Circuito Regional de Performance BodeArte1 to think how it collaborate with its proposal providing theoretical points to relevant questions to the comprehension of Brazilian performance art in contemporaneity, since its conceptual format until its occurrence and practical limitations. From this proposition the dissertation is organized into three chapters guided for the following aspects: the resumption of the events encompassed on the occurrence of Circuit BodeArte as well as a tabulation of the data reunited in its history, the presentation of its conceptual choices, and the metaphors conducted by the use of the term performance and how they can lead us to the idea of a performance-as-BodeArte. The methodological structures moved for this organization are qualitative, and have been formed from printed materials, texts, festival programs, blog, videos, photos, interviews, lectures and forums, plus our own memory as a producer and performer of the event, looking through these set points of the epistemological organization contained on the proposal of the Circuito, expanding and discussing them. This way this research moves between the propositions of this event in its three editions, promoting discussions that dialogue with concepts such as the emergence of Steve Johnson (2004), the metaphors of thought proposed by Christine Greiner (2005), the idea of performance hacker of Maria Beatriz de Medeiros (AQUINO, et al., 2012), as well as other propositions presented by Jan Swidzinski (2005) and Eleonora Fabião (2012)

Tanto no contexto acadêmico quanto no artístico e mercadológico, é crescente a discussão sobre o espaço de conceituação da dança contemporânea e suas fissuras, que deixam de abarcar esta ou aquela manifestação artística ou mesmo acaba por abarcar aquelas manifestações que não se encaixam em outros espaços de conceituação. No presente trabalho objetivamos a investigar, a Dança na Contemporaneidade, para além do que se entende por dança contemporânea, em sua capacidade de atravessar os espaços de conceituação já estabelecidos, para implicar em uma pluralidade de fazeres. Objetivamos também pensar a potência que a Dança imprime no corpo do artista criador, pensando também como este se comporta no espaço de entre linguagens . A dissertação que aqui se apresenta encontrou enquanto estratégia metodológica o recurso da metáfora, partindo das ideias de travessia, cartografia e cidades invisíveis para a construção do pensamento sobre o corpo do artista e suas relações com as diferentes linguagens artísticas, tomando por base uma retomada das experiências estéticas e artísticas de sua proponente. Dialogando experiências práticas e referenciais teóricos, inicialmente tratamos da dança contemporânea em seus problemas de classificação que apontam para a necessidade de um pensamento contemporâneo em dança, que pense as manifestações artísticas em seus pontos convergentes, e não nos divergentes que as situam sob diversas nomenclaturas. No capítulo seguinte discutimos a possibilidade de contaminação entre as linguagens artísticas a partir do próprio corpo-artista. Discorremos também sobre a dança enquanto agenciamento e resposta aos impulsos resultantes da relação com o espaço e outros corpos, pensando como o corpo do vivente se organiza nesta relação de compartilhamento de experiências. Mostrando uma potência do corpo artista criador que se dedica à transvaloração das fronteiras entre as linguagens para a organização do seu fazer. Por fim, apontamos para a diversidade na metodologia de processos de criação que variam de acordo com as possibilidades técnicas e necessidades estéticas de cada artista criador

Mauthner esteemed language as a philosophical inquiry. He measured the philosophical entailments between language and reality and the consequent knowledge produced by such entailments. He questioned language’s aptitude to express and represent reality and, according to him, language is a critical source of knowledge and an unfaithful representation of reality, because there is a gap between language and reality, i.e. language distorts perception and engenders false and fictitious assumptions about reality. Language fosters superstition, creates gods and idols and exerts a dominating power over the intellect. Mauthner pointed out a critique of language based on metaphors, which would serve to address and clarify the deformation of reality. Wittgenstein, unlike himself suggested, was inspired by Mauthner. Both showed interest toward the critical analysis of language and there are many conceptual similarities between their language’s conceptions (e.g. concerning the use of metaphors to understand language). Therefore, this paper seeks a) to emphasize Mauthner’s metaphors on language as an accurate interpretation regarding the philosophical entailments between language and reality, and b) to demonstrate the epistemological legacy of Mauthner’s critique of language to Wittgenstein’s philosophy of language.
