Transexualismo: as decisões do Poder Judiciário no tocante à alteração do prenome a partir da Carta Cidadã de 1988

À luz do instituído pela Constituição Federal de 1988, os direitos fundamentais passaram a ser vistos sob um novo olhar. Todavia, temas considerados complexos, como o transexualismo, segundo a Classificação Internacional das Doenças (CID 10) considerado “Transtorno de Identidade Sexual”, ainda suscitam maior aprofundamento por parte da sociedade, do poder judiciário e do poderes executivo e legislativo. O Sistema Único de Saúde – SUS passou a permitir a cirurgia de transgenitalização no Brasil, na qual se opera a redesignação de sexo, tendo sido estipulados por lei critérios para a sua realização. Após a cirurgia, surge um problema: o da identidade civil, uma vez que o novo gênero da pessoa operada não se coaduna com o seu registro civil, causando-lhe constrangimento. Não há lei que regule a matéria. A partir desta constatação, o presente estudo se propõe a explorar as decisões judiciais de todos os estados da Federação, por intermédio de pesquisa nos sites dos seus respectivos tribunais, bem como das cortes superiores, buscando os termos “transexual” e “prenome” e utilizando o filtro temporal a partir de 1988, ano da promulgação da Carta Cidadã, até final de 2010. Tendo em vista a falta de lei que normatize a matéria, o escopo primordial consiste na obtenção de uma narrativa de como vêm sendo decididas as demandas na temática ora proposta. A conclusão do trabalho sugere que apesar de não haver um marco normativo estabelecido, o discurso do poder judiciário se utiliza de diversos argumentos de ordem social, psicológica e jurídica, devidamente sistematizados e apreciados, bem como de princípios jurídicos, sendo, nesse caso, o princípio da dignidade da pessoa humana, previsto na Carta Magna, o mais utilizado.

O direito coletivo prestacional à saúde e o poder judiciário: a concretização do art. 196 da Constituição de 1988 pela via jurisdicional

During the ninth century, owing to the process of industrialization, new social conflicts were showed, forcing the Government not to remain inert. The necessity of answer to these new demands requires from the State some actions that assure the new economic, cultural and social rights, able to exceed the formal equality, according to the principles of redistributive equality and well-being. Among the social rights, the right to health is showed up, which is placed at the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Treaty for the Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, as a necessary term to promote the dignity and the free development of the human personality. Under the Constitutional Law, it is clear that the implementation of the right to health, placed at the 6th article of the Brazilian Constitution, demands a government activity, which usually requires a provision of material goods, depending on budgetary resources. The Legislative and Executive Branches have a very important role in compliance with the constitutional regulations about the satisfactory offer of health care services, besides the correct use of the resources at this area. The adoption of public policies is the way of Government action to the planning and realization of this right. Though, some public policies are usually made apart from the social compromises, to the detriment of the basic social rights. The government has a discretionary competence to manage the health services. That is the reason it is necessary the control of the political choices, through the popular control, the extrajudicial control by the Account Courts, or the judicial review. Owed to the constitutionalization of social rights, the constitutional justice has a very relevant role, concerning to the constitutional jurisdiction, in a way the Judiciary Branch assume your position as a player that transforms the society. On the control of the public health policies, there is a cast of official instruments, judicial or not, to the guarantee of the collective right to the public health services, and to allow the citizens to reach the real implementation of the right to health

Educação ambiental: mediações sociais e políticas e a indolência do Poder Público à sua inclusão no ensino formal

As a result of the prediction of irreversible changes on necessary conditions to maintain life, including human, on the planet, environmental education got the spotlight in the political scenario, due to social pressure for the development of individual and collective values, knowledge, skills, attitudes and competences towards environmental preservation. In Brazil, only in 1999 the right for environmental education was officially granted to people, having the status of essential and permanent component in the country s education. Since then, it has been Government s duty, in each federal branch, to plan actions to make it happen, in an articulate way in all levels and modalities of the education process, both formally and informally. This work of research has environmental education in the school as subject matter, and aims on analyzing social and political mediations established between this National Environmental Education policy and the contexts associated to the legislative production process, the political nature of the conceptions about environmental education that underlie Law 9.795/99 (Brazil, 2009c) and also Rio Grande do Norte Government s actions and omissions related to the imperative nature of the insertion of environmental education in the schools ran by the state, during the ten years this law has been in force. The investigation of the subject matter was led by a social and historical understanding of the social and environmental phenomena, as well as of the education system as a whole, considering that only through a dialectical view we can see the real world, by destroying the pseudo-concreteness that surrounds the topic. While analyzing, we assumed that in face of the dominance of a social organization in which market regulations rule on environmental ones, by developing individual and collective critical conscience, environmental education can become a threat to dominant economical interests in exploiting natural resources. The results of this research suggest that as an educational practice to be developed in an integrated, continuous and permanent fashion in all levels and modalities of formal education, environmental education has not yet come to pass in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, due to the neglect and disrespect of the government when facing the need of promoting the necessary and legally appointed measures to make it present in the basic education provided by the state. The legislators silence when it comes to approving a regulation on environmental education essential to define policies, rules and criteria to teaching the subject in the state and the omission from the public administration regarding critical actions in order to integrate in public schools the activities related to the National Environmental Education Policy, represent a political decision for not doing anything, despite the legal demand for an active position. This neglecting attitude for the actualizing of strategically concrete actions, urgent and properly planned for the implementation of environmental education in schools in a multidisciplinary way, exposes the lack of interest the predominant classes have in such kind of education being made available, as it could be developed based on a critic political view, becoming a political and educational action against dominance. When analyzing the basic principles and fundamental goals in Law 9.795/99 (Brazil, 2009c) the development of a critic environmental education is really possible and concurs with the National Environmental Education Policy, reflecting the social and political mediations established between this public policy and the contexts associated to its legislative production process, which are responsible for approving a regulation which also represents the mind of the people about environmental protection above anything else

Gestão ambiental e planejamento urbano em Abaetetuba: uma análise a partir das concepções e ações do poder público local

O presente trabalho discutirá a gestão ambiental e o planejamento urbano enquanto instrumentos da política pública municipal, através das concepções e ações que envolvem os órgãos e agentes sociais na dinâmica sócio-ambiental no espaço urbano de Abaetetuba. Analisando as atuações da administração municipal no que concernem as atividades desenvolvidas pela SESMAB e SEMOB, no período de 2004-2006, tentará esclarecer as visíveis e inegáveis contradições na paisagem urbana do Município, principalmente no que tange a qualidade do meio ambiente (o qual implica na qualidade de vida das pessoas) e a ausência de mecanismos mais específicos para desenvolver a proteção do meio ambiente e a inclusão social nos fóruns de decisão. Considerando o enorme potencial legislativo e jurídico brasileiro, esta pesquisa vai tentar mostrar que a falta de mobilidade político-administrativa municipal, mesmo com o recém criado Plano Diretor Municipal (Out./2006) ainda compromete os padrões ambientais urbanos, devido, entre outros, a desarticulação entre as secretarias municipais, o caráter físico-territorial das políticas urbanas e o centralismo do investimento público em áreas já servidas de infra-estrutura.
