Cuerpos perfectibles. Imágenes y discursos circulantes en torno a la obesidad

El objetivo de este trabajo es comprender determinados elementos operantes dentro del proceso de construcción del cuerpo legítimo en Argentina. Para acercarnos a este constructo teórico tomamos la problemática de la obesidad como caso que permite entender, por la negativa, esa elaboración social. Empíricamente hemos seleccionado a hombres y mujeres desde 18 hasta 60 años que consultan en un hospital público. Esta decisión se explica en que consideramos a la obesidad como un rasgo subjetivo, no determinado únicamente por la imagen exterior o el peso que acusa la balanza. En la génesis de este estudio radica el intento por entender cómo la clínica médica se nutre de las imágenes corporales deterioradas o tergiversadas para sustentar el tratamiento de la obesidad y el sobrepeso. En pos de ello, realizamos una estadía etnográfica en el servicio de Nutrición y Diabetes del Hospital General de Agudos Carlos G. Durand (ubicado en el barrio de Almagro en la Ciudad Autónoma de Bs. As.). Este nosocomio cuenta con un equipo de médicos nutricionistas, psicólogos, psiquiatras y endocrinólogos abocados a trabajar coordinadamente con aquellos pacientes cuyos diagnósticos lo ameriten. A partir de nuestro paso por cada instancia del tratamiento hemos elaborado, inductiva y provisoriamente, una serie de categorías orientadas a comprender diversas situaciones resultantes de la interacción entre médicos, pacientes, acompañantes y demás personas involucradas dentro de aquel espacio

ARRANJOS COMUNITÁRIOS ALTERNATIVOS CATÓLICOS NA REGIÃO DO GRANDE ABC: ANÁLISE SOCIOLÓGICA DE UM TIPO DE CATOLICISMO NA MODERNIDADE CONTEMPORÂNEA

Esta tese analisa quatro comunidades leigas católicas na região do Grande ABC e que denominamos Arranjos Comunitários Alternativos Católicos. São comunidades extra paroquiais constituídas a partir de um fundador e organizadas autonomamente no que diz respeito a um sistema moral, cúltico, símbólico e de networks. Sintonizadas com a modernidade contemporânea e sob a fiscalização do clero local, os arranjos católicos caracterizam-se por uma vida regrada, hierarquizada, voltada ao atendimento de um público-alvo específico recompondo, adaptando, combinando a doutrina religiosa católica com práticas de glossolalia, de cura e libertação da alma. Analisamos por meio de uma pesquisa etnográfica as estruturas organizacionais dos arranjos, os antecedentes sócio-religiosos dos seus membros e sua capacidade de adaptação frente ao entorno social. Constatou-se que os arranjos católicos são espaços que permitem às suas lideranças exercerem com maior autonomia sua catolicidade de caráter mais intimista e espiritualizada. Entendemos que os arranjos católicos são um tipo de catolicismo de consultoria auxiliando os seus clientes na chamada cura interior , ao mesmo tempo que, dispositivos ou braços auxiliadores da ICAR, a fim de mantê-la estrategicamente na modernidade contemporânea. Os elementos que dão coesão e força simbólica às comunidades em questão são analisadas com categorias durkheimianas e bourdianas. Tais elementos, como os sites, emblemas e os santos baluartes, tornaram-se importantes referenciais que direcionam o cotidiano dos arranjos católicos.

IGREJAS ORGÂNICAS - MOBILIDADE E RECONFIGURAÇÃO RELIGIOSA: O CASO DO CAMINHO DA GRAÇA

Este texto é a apresentação do resultado de uma pesquisa empreendida sobre o recrudescimento de um movimento que convencionamos denominar de Igreja Orgânica (IO). Para este estudo, diante de centenas de grupos encontrados durante o período da pesquisa, escolhemos a análise do Caminho da Graça (CdG), comunidade iniciada em meados de 2004, e que atualmente conta com cerca de 70 grupos no Brasil e no exterior. O grupo foi iniciado pelo (ex) reverendo Caio Fábio de Araújo Filho, ou simplesmente Caio Fábio, sustentados por uma mensagem de contracultura evangélica ou um retorno da Igreja cristã tal como era no Novo Testamento. Embora o CdG categoricamente não se auto declare uma IO, pudemos enquadrá-lo nesta tipologia observando as práticas e discurso das principais lideranças. Vemos na consolidação do Neopentecostalismo, especialmente nos anos de 1990, o início das suspeitas e decepções em massa com o universo evangélico, sobretudo advindas deste segmento do cristianismo; sendo assim estas comunidades alternativas vêm acolher dissidentes decepcionados e feridos por estas expressões religiosas. Fez-se necessário, portanto, compreender a morfologia das igrejas no período do cristianismo original, uma vez que um dos pontos de contestação destes grupos é o retorno às experiências comunitárias dos primeiros cristãos, tais quais narradas no Novo Testamento; evidenciar a biografia das principais lideranças do movimento e; enfatizar os conflitos e as motivações intracampo e extracampo existentes para compreender o êxodo e circulação dos fiéis em direção a uma experiência de fé mais pormenorizada e pós moderna; houve também necessidade de uma observação participativa, de inspiração etnográfica, para a condução de abordagens teóricas.

O Sagrado na Dança Ritual Indígena Brasileira: Bororo, um estudo de caso

Na história da religião, nem sempre a dança foi considerada elemento de expressão do sagrado. O objetivo dessa pesquisa é compreender a importância da dança nos rituais sagrados de uma cultura indígena. O povo Bororo, sociedade indígena encontrada em Mato Grosso, foi selecionado especificamente para compor o estudo de caso. Assim, são abordados dados gerais sobre a vida, os costumes e a religiosidade dessa etnia. O estudo mostra breve panorama da religião e do ritual sagrado Bororo e, principalmente, descreve esses rituais e suas respectivas danças. Foi realizada ainda uma investigação sobre a centralidade do corpo nessa cultura por meio do estudo da indumentária, ornamentos, pinturas e marcas de caráter provisório ou permanente.

Cartões de saudações em língua inglesa: uma prática de letramento em análise

This research aims at studying the use of greeting cards, here understood as a literacy practice widely used in American society of the United States. In American culture, these cards become sources of information and memory about people‟s cycles of life, their experiences and their bonds of sociability enabled by means of the senses that the image and the word comprise. The main purpose of this work is to describe how this literacy practice occurs in American society. Theoretically, this research is based on studies of literacy (BARTON, HAMILTON, 1998; BAYHAM, 1995; HAMILTON, 2000; STREET, 1981, 1984, 1985, 1993, 2003), the contributions of social semiotics, associated with systemic-functional grammar (HALLIDAY; HASAN 1978, 1985, HALLIDAY, 1994, HALLIDAY; MATTHIESSEN, 2004), and the grammar of visual design (KRESS; LEITE-GARCIA, VAN LEEUWEN, 1997, 2004, 2006; KRESS; MATTHIESSEN, 2004). Methodologically, it is a study that falls within the qualitative paradigm of interpretative character, which adopts ethnographic tools in data generation. From this perspective, it makes use of “looking and asking” techniques (ERICKSON, 1986, p. 119), complemented by the technique of "registering", proposed by Paz (2008). The corpus comprises 104 printed cards, provided by users of this cultural artifact, from which we selected 24, and 11 e-cards, extracted from the internet, as well as verbalizations obtained by applying a questionnaire prepared with open questions asked in order to gather information about the perceptions and actions of these cards users with respect to this literacy practice. Data analysis reveals cultural, economic and social aspects of this practice and the belief that literacy practice of using printed greeting cards, despite the existence of virtual alternatives, is still very fruitful in American society. The study also allows users to comprehend that the cardholders position themselves and construct identities that are expressed in verbal and visual interaction in order to achieve the desired effect. As a result, it is understood that greeting cards are not unintentional, but loaded with ideology and power relations, among other aspects that are constitutive of them.

A formação da habilidade de explicar no contexto do ensino médio: o que dizem os livros? o que pensam os professores?

The discussion about explanation in knowledge has been made for decades. Through this course, we present different ways of understanding about what is to explain the history: the primitive ethnographic description, the chronicler, the positivist construction of a historical science and historiography of the second half of twentieth century. Nowadays this discussion needs to be continued both in the general framework of scientific practice as within educational institutions as cognitive - linguistic ability. The focus of our research is by the second approach, which is the explanation as cognitive - linguistic ability. The formation of skills, among them, the explaining one, has been studied by the authors as: (NÚÑEZ 2012; JORBA et al, 2000; SANMARTÍ and IZQUIERDO 2000). This research had as general purpose: to study the processes of formation of the ability to explain social revolution in history classes in high school, by teachers opinion and by content as this theme among history books, in order to support the continuing education of history teachers for high school. Th e qualitative based research used instruments of data collection and analysis protocol for the books prepared for this study, and interviews with teachers. For this, the techniques of content analysis and discourse referenced in Bardin and Orlandi , respec tively were used. At first, the instruments for data collection were developed and validated, while in the second, the data were collected, organized and analyzed. From the answers to the questions of the study results shows that: a) in the analyzed books - do not express the work with the definition of Social Revolution, considering the processes for the formation of this definition, the predominant type of explanation has characteristics of multicausality; proposals for teaching are characterized as eclec tic; b) while teachers speech - it is important the students know the definition of Social Revolution, the ability to explain is more linked to didactic explanation in the classroom than the explanation through epistemological sense. These results indicate that the formation of the ability to explain Social Revolution based in Cultural History approach, are not expressed in the analyzed books, but they can serve as an important resource for this purpose. The discourse of teachers has a potential pointing to the possibility of teaching organization and learning process, based on training or upgrading the explanation skill from the theory of stepwise formation of mental actions and concepts by P.Ya. Galperin. For this purpose, the research constitutes a contri bution to support the continued education of history teachers in high school.

A tematização do espaço público e a economia criativa local: estudo de caso a partir do "maior São João do mundo", em Campina Grande-PB

The thematization of public space in the ―Maior São João do Mundo‖ in Campina Grande - PB stimulates the economy and the local tourism from the transformation of a common public space in a setting that has the traditional June festivals based. To do so, contributes to promotion of existing creative sectors in the city and the design of a new city that is projected from the festivities of São João. In this research we propose to determine the influence of the thematization of public space in the local economy, particularly in creative sectors present in the ―Maior São João do Mundo‖ and assess their importance for the development of local creative economy. We chose the case study, from an ethnographic approach, using different research techniques such as participant observation, semi-structured interviews with open questions and the analysis of social representations of respondents. The methodology used is mixed because it involves qualitative and quantitative data. We could notice at the end of this research, the thematization of public space in the ―Maior São João do Mundo‖ is the main reference factor for the event, stimulating the local economy and changing the city's image in three levels: political, economic and social. Also realize that the thematization of public space is the key binding factor between the creative sectors as well as between them and the related activities. All these sectors serve as a link between the products and services, creating a harmonic whole that transforms the city's image, stimulates the economy, promotes social inclusion, cultural integration and keeps the ―Maior São João do Mundo‖ as a traditional event in the tourist calendar regional and national.

A relevância dos eventos culturais para a economia criativa - pesquisa qualitativa na Praia da Pipa, Tibau do Sul/RN

Creative industry has promoted and strengthened the growth of various economic sectors in Brazil and abroad, thus stimulating the local economy in places with attractive and innovative sceneries for the consumer market. This essay focuses on studying the relevance of cultural events for the creative economy, and these may contribute to the social, cultural and economic development in Pipa, located in Rio Grande do Norte (Brazil). Cultural events promote a themed and creative environment which has worked as attraction mechanism for the increase of cultural, gastronomic and social leisure consumptions. Cultural and thematic events has been held in Pipa, such as Festival Literário da Pipa, Fest Bossa & Jazz da Pipa, Festival Literário Alternativo da Pipa and Festival Gastronômico da Pipa, which can attract the local, state, national and international audience. The research is characterized as a qualitative research about the problem approach. The field research is characterized by the ethnographic approach, using the techniques of participant observation, semi-structured interviews and photographic record. With the research results, we can point that Pipa promotes cultural events that move the economic dynamics, social and cultural, inserting new cultural habits in this urban space, and in some cases, rescuing the history of the place. In each event, the economic and political forces connect themselves to promote the infrastructure of these events, supporting the provision of services and products from the creative and cultural sectors. The theming of the studied events plunges the audience into stories that may have (or not) a connection to the local history. Therefore, it is perceived that this work brings the light to a place that presents itself as the protagonist of the state of Rio Grande do Norte in terms of renewal and economic, social and cultural change in its infrastructure and its potential for tourist attraction from the creative and cultural sectors.

No cotidiano da escola: o pensar e agir de jovens e adultos

The necessity of the view of the Youth and Adults Education (EJA) subjects beyond of their academic failures becomes imperative for a reconfiguration of this teaching modality. Thus, the compromise of this study is to go into these subjects‘ universe, give them a voice and, therefore, understand, in general, the web of relationships between these subjects and the school. It is understood that it is not possible to figure out the means attributed by the subjects without consideration, as an essential element, the social context in which such means has been built. For the development of this study, the methodology adopted was the ethnographic research. The procedures used for the data construction were the participative observation, the semi-structured interviews with a focal group, and the individualized semi-structured interviews. For the understanding of the data constructed in the field, the content analysis technique was used, which reach the expectations of an interpretative analysis. The observation occurred mainly in the classrooms, on a public school, located in a City of Natal/RN. The interviews were taken with a sample of eight students, males and females, with 25 to 60 year-olds. Such interviews highlight that for the young adult students, the school is much more than a place to learn. They realize such space as enabler of social interaction, as well as the possibility of rising through new professional horizons and, therefore achieve a social mobility. For the older students, mainly among women, the return to the school benches brings into the learning discourse, the desire of making new friends, having moments of meeting, chatting and relaxation, finally, to forget the problems of the day by day. The school quotidian observation allows a better understanding of the action of the subjects in relationship with the school practices. Finally, it can be affirmed that seeking for the school has not only the intention to recover the time lost in the childhood. Learning remains as a secondary goal. It does not matter whether they will be retained or promoted to the next level at the end of the academic year, what really matters is to be in school.

Ser gestora da educação infantil: quais sentidos atribuídos na cultura profissional?

This research has been the aim understanding the senses that managers attribute to school management of the Child Education from his owner teacher high degree formation and his professional culture. The need to research about the sense attributed to the school management of the Child Education by the managers could be considered as contribute to school management studies in the manager team perspective itself. It depart from idea that attributed senses reveal the reinvention process of the professional culture those escape from a regard less attentive and take divers forms, been construct and reconstruct in the social interactions in the live quotidian of school community. The empirical investigation has developed in the Centro Municipal de Educação Infantil (CMEI) Marilanda Bezerra, located in Natal city (RN), during the years of 2012-2013. The methodology is endorsed in the qualitative approach with character of an ethnography type research in education having as main information’s construction tools the semi structured comprehensive interview. This permit (by the interlocutor’s oral discourse) the interpretation of the senses and values selfattributed to hers actions, the personal notebook of ground registers, the record of the interpretative analysis, the evolutionary plans and the participant observation. It distinguish auteurs as Jean-Claude Kaufmann, Adir Ferreira, Sônia Kramer, Álvaro Marchesi, Júlia Oliveira-Formosinho, Maurice Tardif, Telmo Caria, Andy Hargreaves; those supported this paper theoretically and methodologically. The analysis and the experience interpretation point to the possibilities of sharing actions of the Child Education unity with the community, featuring the importance of a participant and collaborative school management practice of the CMEI, highlight the value of this school management possibilities more horizontal and interactive in an essay of constitute a democratic and critical space to the professional culture, with a decisive participation of the managers team. This educational manager form has demonstrated sensibility, creativity, innovation and the possibility of social transformation through institutional action and Child Education teacher’s practices, cohabiting with the challenges, the dilemmas and the problems of work quotidian and the lacunas of a fragmentary formation.

O figurino na narrativa dos filmes de Guel Arraes: O Auto da Compadecida (2000) e O Bem Amado (2010)

This research focuses on the course of Guel Arraes, moviemaker, and picks two movies for analysis: O Auto da Compadecida (2000) and O Bem Amado (2010), as well as their costumes. The focus on the costume is based on Semiology and aims to decode the meanings that stem out of the clothes. Three of the movies characters will have their costumes analyzed based on Roland Barthes’ theory, mainly considering semiology elements (language and speech), (significant and meaning) and (system and syntagma). The influence of the Armorial movement into the movie O Auto da Compadecida and the Kitsch aesthetic in O Bem Amado deserve consideration, aside from the study on costumes function within narrative, supported by Roland Barthes’ structural analysis of the narrative. We sought to highlight the balance between characters’ lines and the image of the costumes in the movies. Adding to the study on how costumes strongly accounts to narrative, we observed characteristic traits of director and scriptwriter Guel Arraes present in his works, which are the northeastern man identity, a presentation of the Northeast and popular comedy. We believe that his choices when creating and his life influences are not separate from one another. Our research was movie-appraisal centered and had a thorough investigation all over language. The main considerations are supported by the following theories: Barthes (2007), Figueirôa and Fechine (2008), Moles (2001), Stuart Hall (2005) and Mikhail Bakhtin (2013).

Saberes e perspectivas dos docentes em torno do currículo de uma escola pública rural do RN

Este trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar los saberes y las perspectivas docentes en torno al currículum de una escuela pública rural de Enseñanza Fundamental del Río Grande do Norte considerando, sobre todo, los debates sobre la Educación en el Campo en Souza (2006, 2007), Arroyo, Caldart y Molina (2004) y Fernandes (2002, 2004). La propuesta surge como alternativa para la elaboración de proposiciones curriculares para mejorar la calidad de la enseñanza en esas escuelas, según las características específicas de la educación escolar en contexto rural, en la expectativa de que esta sea un elemento para el desarrollo local y global de las comunidades rurales. La fundamentación teórica para responder a la investigación, se respalda en las consideraciones sobre los saberes docentes teniendo en cuenta las lecturas de Gauthier (1998), Tardif (2011), Pimenta (2009), Paulo Freire (1996), Nóvoa (2007, 2008) y las referencias sobre el currículum crítico y postcrítico discutidas en Giroux (1997), Silva (1999), Moreira (2008), Moreira y Candau (2003, 2010), Sacristán (2000) e Sacristán e Gómez (1998). La referencia empírica se constituye de una escuela pública de una comunidad rural en el municipio de São José de Mipibu-RN. Los sujetos sociales de la investigación son cuatro profesores(as) que trabajan en los años iniciales de la Enseñanza Fundamental. Se recurrió a la investigación etnográfica fundamentada en los estudios de Lüdke y André (1986), Sandín Estebán (2010) y Gil (2007), una vez que el análisis del cotidiano escolar, bajo el mirar etnográfico, a través de los procedimientos de la observación participante y de la entrevista semiestructurada, permite el contacto directo del investigador con el ambiente en estudio, registra el no documentado, y percibe la institución escolar como espacio cultural, caracterizando varios grados de acomodación, contestación y resistencia inmersos en una pluralidad de lenguajes y objetivos conflictivos. Las observaciones hechas en la clase y las enseñanzas de los profesores y profesoras permiten comprender que los saberes y perspectivas docentes, a partir de las experiencias del profesorado, lanzan expectativas socioprofesionales sobre la docencia e intensifican el papel fundamental del docente en la construcción de los saberes, de las prácticas y concepciones del mundo rural, de la escuela rural y de la función social de esta. Los hallazgos de la investigación con los profesores sobre el contexto rural apuntan para la necesidad en problematizar verdades socialmente construidas, bajo la orientación de una racionalidad que reconozca el espacio rural como productor de la existencia. A partir de los análisis construidos, se pudo reconocer la necesidad de una política de formación conceptual específica para el profesorado de las escuelas rurales, anclada en el concepto históricocultural del rural. También se reitera la urgencia permanente y continuada en revisar los procesos de formación, vividos en la escuela, que contemplen las peculiaridades de la enseñanza rural, en una visión contrahegemónica del urbanocentrismo, a partir de un análisis crítico sobre el marco legal de la Educación del Campo.

"Aqui se faz Gostoso”: uma etnografia do turismo em São Miguel do Gostoso (RN)

This study it is an ethnography on the process of the tourist coast area of São Miguel do Gostoso, whose origin is made from a village of traditional fishermen located on the northeast coast of Rio Grande do Norte. From the late 90s, there were the first initiatives that transformed São Miguel do Gostoso in one of the state's major tourist destinations. The municipality is promoted within the national and international tourism scene through the sun and beach tourism - whose object of consumption is the natural landscape - and sports tourism - which exploited element is the "natural" geographic location (in the continent curve) of municipality that provides winds considered ideal for the practice of “Kitesurfing “ and Windsurfing. From this context, this ethnography had as a theme the social changes promoted by the tourism process in place here addressed, taking into account the perceptions produced by the actors involved in this social net. In this qualitative research, I endeavored to me in the methodological use of ethnographic techniques - bibliographic and field research, participant observation, open and structured interviews recorded by recording and field notes and photographic record. I also made use of theoretical tools and methodology inherent in ciberetnografia when analyzing the blogs and websites of intermediaries and institutions linked to local tourism.

Olimpíada de Língua Portuguesa: ressignificação de práticas de leitura e escrita

The search for new meanings in the basic education teaching-learning process has caused the development of public policies for mother language teaching, such as the Portuguese Language Olympics (OLP). To contribute to this search, this intervention project has as object of study reading and writing practices developed in the OLP through the educational model arising from literacy projects (TINOCO, 2008). In working towards, the general aim of reframing reading and writing practices through the PLO, developed from the teaching model that comes of literacy projects, we established three specific objectives: a) reflect on a national writing contest; b) to realign conceptual and methodological the Portuguese classes of the 7th grade school due to the developed project; c) to improve the reading and writing practices of the students in 7th grade of school where we operate. Therefore, we base ourselves in the history of Portuguese teaching in Brazil (SOARES, 2002; GERALDI, 2008), the dialogical conception of language (BAKHTIN, VOLOCHÍNOV [1929] 2009; SOARES, 1998; FARACO, 2009) in Literacy Studies (KLEIMAN, 2001, 2005, 2006; TINOCO, 2008; OLIVEIRA; TINOCO; SANTOS, 2011; STREET, 2014), the learning community concept (AFONSO, 2001), in studies of retextualization (OLIVEIRA, 2005; MARCUSCHI, 2010), gender discursive literary memories (CLARA; ALTENFELDER; ALMEIDA, 20--), in written evidence (POSSENTI, 2002) and Textual Linguistics (MARCUSCHI, 2008; ANTUNES, 2009; KOCH, 2011; SILVA [et. al.], 2013). Methodologically, this qualitative research (LÜDKE; ANDRÉ, 1986; ANDRÉ, 2005) is anchored in Applied Linguistics (MOITA LOPES, 1996). This research was supporting by students in the 7th grade, teachers, management team and parents, as well as people outside of school community. The instruments used for the generation of data were semi-structured interview, students‟ texts, audio recordings and video, photos, OLP material (teacher's book, a collection of texts and CD-ROM). The data generated allowed us to establish the following categories of analysis in relation to the texts produced: authorship, in formativeness, discursive progression, compositional structure, content, style, and language aspects. In addition, throughout the project, the collaborators have produced texts of various genres: oral interview and written request letter, legal, literary memories, oral and experience report. Also experienced a local award and participated in a national competition. They produced a video and a book with stories and student authorship of illustrations. The results achieved show that the literacy project developed also allowed macro changes: reading and writing practices, once considered strictly school studied, they were transformed into broader social practices, through which various literacy agents were able to collaboratively act. In short, they experienced writing practices that go beyond the classroom and the teacher-student relationship.
