As matrizes do samba carioca e carnaval: algumas reflexões sobre patrimônio imaterial

Nosso trabalho busca discutir o samba carioca e o documento produzido pelo Centro Cultural Cartola para registrar as matrizes do samba do Rio de Janeiro como um bem imaterial no Livro das Formas de Expressão criado pelo IPHAN em 2000. Para isso, buscamos compreender as diferentes expressões deste gênero musical e suas transformações narrativas, melódicas e timbrísticas que o transformaram de música marginal a símbolo de brasilidade e que o tornaram o ritmo da maior festa brasileira: o carnaval. Compreendemos que tal processo se deu em consonância com as transformações políticas, sociais e urbanísticas que a cidade do Rio de Janeiro sofreu nas primeiras décadas do século XX e que, o inventário e registro das matrizes do samba carioca é fruto não apenas dos anseios da comunidade de sambistas, mas também do diálogo destes com intelectuais e gestores públicos. Além disso, tal política voltada para a preservação e salvaguarda dos bens imateriais se coaduna com políticas e projetos urbanísticos de transformação de certos espaços citadinos em verdadeiros museus a céu aberto, como é o caso do Museu a Céu Aberto do Morro da Providência e da construção da Cidade do Samba, que expressam uma preocupação com a revitalização da área, a valorização imobiliária e o incremento da indústria do turismo.

The importance of sensing one's movement in the world for the sense of personal identity

Within philosophy and cognitive science, the focus in relation to the problem of personal identity has been almost exclusively on the brain. We submit that the resulting neglect of the body and of bodily movements in the world has been detrimental in understanding how organisms develop a sense of identity. We examine the importance of sensing one’s own movements for the development of a basic, nonconceptual sense of self. More specifically, we argue that the origin of the sense of self stems from the sensitivity to spontaneous movements. Based on this, the organism develops a sense of “I move” and, finally, a sense of “I can move”. Proprioception and kinesthesis are essential in this development. At the same time, we argue against the traditional dichotomy between so-called external and internal senses, agreeing with Gibson that perception of the self and of the environment invariably go together. We discuss a traditional distinction between two aspects of bodily self: the body sense and the body image. We suggest that they capture different aspects of the sense of self. We argue that especially the body sense is of great importance to our nonconceptual sense of self. Finally, we attempt to draw some consequences for research in cognitive science, specifically in the area of robotics, by examining a case of missing proprioception. We make a plea for robots to be equipped not just with external perceptual and motor abilities but also with a sense of proprioception. This, we submit, would constitute one further step towards understanding creatures acting in the world with a sense of themselves.

Double-objective economic statistical design of the VP T-2 control chart: Wald's identity approach

Research has shown that applying the T-2 control chart by using a variable parameters (VP) scheme yields rapid detection of out-of-control states. In this paper, the problem of economic statistical design of the VP T-2 control chart is considered as a double-objective minimization problem with the statistical objective being the adjusted average time to signal and the economic objective being expected cost per hour. We then find the Pareto-optimal designs in which the two objectives are met simultaneously by using a multi-objective genetic algorithm. Through an illustrative example, we show that relatively large benefits can be achieved by applying the VP scheme when compared with usual schemes, and in addition, the multi-objective approach provides the user with designs that are flexible and adaptive.

O vazio da união das culturas nipo-brasileira: projeto no bairro da Liberdade-SP

The work aims at an architectural project in the neighborhood of Liberdade in Sao Paulo, from analysis of the spread of Japanese culture in Brazil. Within this theme, the paper focuses on the Japanese urban space and the search for an identity of the Japanese, besides the problems that the neighborhood has. The architectural design is justified by the need for spaces of rest, meetings and green areas, where people can get away a bit of pace that the neighborhood has. The source of this research is based on bibliographic references, reviews of other projects, investigating the experience of urban space and the richest source of contributions that were the memories of living in Japan for eight months. The expected result is the visualization of the project through sketches, experiments and artistic designs for the chosen location

Arte & jóia: uma análise da joalheria contemporânea brasileira

Since the beginning human needs to produce elements artistics, in such way that can set their history and pass a language, be it as art, culture and / or as an identity. Within this context, the jewelry was being developed, its characteristics and aesthetics, in a period, being artistic, historic, marking this form a civilization, a document, with its innovations and concepts. Nowadays, with technology, trade and the need to search for creations and innovations in the jewelry section, was prepared and developed those that we call Art jewelry. This study brings a trajectory through the history of jewelry art and jewelry; specifying in the contemporary period the various types of jewelry such as author and industry, its artists and jewelers; parts exhibited in museums and designed for competitions, thus creating a analysis of contemporary jewelry

Entre a individualização e a multiplicidade: possibilidades de rupturas com os modos de gestão e administração dos corpos infantis

Placing the management of childhood forms considered at risk, we discuss the operation of a welfare institution and its effects on the subjective process. Created to manage the virtues of the poor behavior of children, makes visible to the way technology features disciplinary policies: surveillance is evident of cameras, high walls, electric fences and in the eyes of educators, the penalty stands normalizing practices corrective aimed at standardization bodies, educational meetings are compared to the examination, as they produce dossiers of individual behavior, emphasizing characteristics that are considered dangerous anticipates the administration and production of docile individuals, useful, productive, applying identity models. Following the lines of knowledge and power relations that constitute this space, we used the genealogy in the analysis of discursive practices that cross society in its historical construction, the genealogy allows us to achieve these movements in the consolidation process of the government of life, and also, the deconstruction of hegemonic practices. In an attempt to escape the set, we propose the realization of artistic and cultural activities within a process of collective construction as a strategy of resistance and confrontation with the dominant logic, consolidating practices that favor the enhancement of life in its manifold possibilities.
