Entre ecos e narcisos: estudo de caso sobre a prática teatral com adolescentes como atividade extracurricular numa escola de nível médio

This masters thesis discusses the studying and the teaching of drama and its implications among teenagers of the contemporary world. This paper also analyses an extracurricular project entitled Drama in the development of citizenship , which was carried out in the public state school Berilo Wanderley in Natal/RN, between 1999 and 2005 with high school students. It comprises a case study that aimed at understanding how and why they chose to take drama classes outside of the school curriculum and even after they graduated, some of them never left the school project and even started participating in the cultural and artistic context of the city of Natal quite actively, both as part of an audience as well as on artistic, political, social and pedagogical performance. The project was high significant for its participants, for the school and for the community, by creating a sense of recognition of the relevance of the pedagogical and artistic production in the public school, as it managed to yield knowledge that helped students to understand the values of group work, sharing information, collaborative assessment and, most of all, to engender actions of protagonism by the teenagers themselves within their social environments. The empirical process developed is placed in a contemporary historical context where educational paradigms shifts occur, and where categories of youth empowerment and protagonism are fundamental to the educational process in the 21st century. The objective of this study is to reflect upon the pedagogical dimension of drama classes for teenagers, aiming at providing further discussions on the role of acting classes in the construction of the personality among youngsters, thus hoping to contribute to other teaching practices, including drama and other subjects of general education

Mover/se(r) a gênese do corpo entre/corpos e seus trajetos no processo coreográfico

This paper proposes a reflection on the body between/bodies, especially in contemporary dance, in their path that starts from the choreographic construction, permeating the body of the choreographer, the dancer s body and when fulfills themselves as artistic expression, the body of the spectator. Initially discusses the body in dance as a body/space for convergence, connectedness and continuity, from the thought of the Greek philosopher Epicurus of Samos, in dialogue with the thought of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Gilles Deleuze and José Gil. Reflect about the creation of this body/space in the relationship choreographer/dancer using as connecting thread the experiences of the author in his artistic path. Finally describes the process of creating the scenic experiment (h)áporos, which constitutes the practice scene of this dissertation, having as main objective the creation of spaces of convergence and interaction between a proponent and an affluent body that, in this move, transforms itself and the space that now cohabits / is

A contribution to semantic description of images and videos: an application of soft biometrics

Humans have a high ability to extract visual data information acquired by sight. Trought a learning process, which starts at birth and continues throughout life, image interpretation becomes almost instinctively. At a glance, one can easily describe a scene with reasonable precision, naming its main components. Usually, this is done by extracting low-level features such as edges, shapes and textures, and associanting them to high level meanings. In this way, a semantic description of the scene is done. An example of this, is the human capacity to recognize and describe other people physical and behavioral characteristics, or biometrics. Soft-biometrics also represents inherent characteristics of human body and behaviour, but do not allow unique person identification. Computer vision area aims to develop methods capable of performing visual interpretation with performance similar to humans. This thesis aims to propose computer vison methods which allows high level information extraction from images in the form of soft biometrics. This problem is approached in two ways, unsupervised and supervised learning methods. The first seeks to group images via an automatic feature extraction learning , using both convolution techniques, evolutionary computing and clustering. In this approach employed images contains faces and people. Second approach employs convolutional neural networks, which have the ability to operate on raw images, learning both feature extraction and classification processes. Here, images are classified according to gender and clothes, divided into upper and lower parts of human body. First approach, when tested with different image datasets obtained an accuracy of approximately 80% for faces and non-faces and 70% for people and non-person. The second tested using images and videos, obtained an accuracy of about 70% for gender, 80% to the upper clothes and 90% to lower clothes. The results of these case studies, show that proposed methods are promising, allowing the realization of automatic high level information image annotation. This opens possibilities for development of applications in diverse areas such as content-based image and video search and automatica video survaillance, reducing human effort in the task of manual annotation and monitoring.

A anagnorisis na Electra de Eurípides

A anagnorisis da Electra de Euripides tem sido considerada, pela crítica, uma das cenas mais controversas — e geradores de controvérsias — da antiga dramaturgia grega. A complexidade desta cena deve-se, sobretudo, ao facto de Euripides ter retardado o reconhecimento de Orestes e ter reutilizado, de forma crítica e paródica, os tradicionais semeia das Coéforas, refutados por Electra através de um racicíonio sofístico, tão em voga nos finais do século V a. C. Parodiar num tom humorístico a tradição permitiu-lhe experimentar as convenções dramáticas, num modo de estruturação formal diferente, de forma a possibilitar-lhe situar o texto no mundo e, assim, renovar o antigo significado da mítica história de vingança dos filhos de Agamémnon.

Femininos de montar - Uma etnografia sobre experiências de gênero entre drag queens

The paper presents a discussion about gender and body in the drag queens experience at Natal city (RN). From the different concepts that characterizes the identity processes on subjects who perform gender transformation (transvestites, transsexuals and female impersonators), the justification for studying the drag character is observed as a means to understand matters that are important when you take such a position. Therefore, there is a need for a linkage between the various concepts responsible for this definition, in addition to considering the historical and cultural process responsible for the creation of such categories, identities and stereotypes among these individuals. In this sense it will be possible to carry out a critical analysis on the different social loads present in each representation, and understand what is at stake in the attribution of classifications and terminologies that are applied to different expressions of metamorphosis. This ethnography considers the debate from a field research conducted at LGBT social establishments and other performance spaces of these people, verifying their dynamics in these places and investigating relationships between performers, personas and characters and also backstage scene in which they participate

Utilization of nitrogen (15N) from urea and green manures by rice as affected by nitrogen fertilizer rate.

The use of green manures (GMs) in combination with nitrogen (N) fertilizer application is a promising practice to improve N fertilizer management in agricultural production systems. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the N use efficiency (NUE) of rice plant, derived from GMs including sunn hemp (Crotalaria juncea L.), millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) and urea in the greenhouse. The experimental treatments included two GMs (sunn hemp-15N and millet-15N), absence of N organic source (without GM residues in soil) and four N rates, as urea-15N (0, 28.6, 57.2 and 85.8 mg N kg-1). The results showed that both rice grain and straw biomass yields under sunn hemp were greater than that of millet or without the application of GM. The NUE of rice under sunn hemp was greater than that under millet (18.9 and 7.8% under sunn hemp and millet, respectively). The urea N application rates did not affect the fertilizer NUE by rice (53.7%) with or without GMs. The NUE of GMs by rice plants ranged from 14.1% and 16.8% for root and shoot, respectively. The study showed that green manures can play an important role in enhancing soil fertility and N supply to subsequent crops.

Juventudes partidárias portuguesas : que visão sobre o desenvolvimento global?

O ponto de partida da nossa reflexão passou pela dúvida em relação ao conhecimento aprofundado dos/as jovens portugueses relativamente às temáticas Globais e aos paradigmas que vêm sendo dominantes na última década: qual o grau de participação e mobilização dos/as jovens portugueses/as para as temáticas da Cooperação Internacional? Qual o seu papel enquanto Agentes na mobilização e na advocacia junto dos/as nossos/as decisores/as políticos/as?. Sabemos que, ao longo dos anos, a distância entre as intenções e os Tratados Internacionais e Declarações globais de princípios colide com as prioridades nacionais e a vontade dos Estados. A retórica política está muitas vezes a milhas da ação política real e de interesses privados. Por isso, procurámos envolver nesta pesquisa aqueles/as jovens que, já tendo responsabilidades representativas no sistema partidário, terão provavelmente no futuro responsabilidades governativas ou legislativas. Colocando as Juventudes Partidárias Portuguesas em cena, quisemos iniciar com estas uma discussão em torno de temáticas sobre Desenvolvimento Global, de forma a lançar as primeiras bases para um futuro trabalho conjunto que possa influenciar e reforçar a importância da área e das organizações que nela têm vindo a desenvolver atividades.

“2 Mundos”, o corpo das palavras : dramaturgia do corpo com a Cia. Mariana Muniz de Dança e Teatro

O que pode vir a ser material dramatúrgico em dança? Onde o corpo se ancora para criá-lo? Como o artista faz o trânsito deste para a pesquisa de movimento? E, por fim, como cria a dramaturgia do corpo na cena? Para responder a estas questões norteadoras desta pesquisa busquei o solo fértil de investigação da Cia. Mariana Muniz de Dança e Teatro. Para a fundamentação, descrição e análise, foi eleito o processo de remontagem de “2 Mundos”, criação coreográfica que integrou à exposição fotográfica Trajetória(s) Mariana Muniz – quem, aliás, abriu a Mostra de Fomento à Dança de São Paulo (Brasil), em 2015, com a apresentação do mesmo. Assim, parti para o acompanhamento e observação dos ensaios da artista. Utilizei-me de anotações em um caderno de campo e vídeos. Discussões, trocas e diálogo com a mesma sobre seu caminho para a criação e, posterior, remontagem do espetáculo foram de singular importância para o direcionamento do meu olhar buscador. Sentimos, ao longo do processo, a necessidade de realizar uma entrevista que apontasse, assim, maiores detalhes sobre seu caminhar para este trabalho. Encontramos quatro “práticas” que serviram de treino corporal à artista: Gerda Alexander e a Eutonia, Rudolf Steiner e seu pensamento sobre a Antroposofia que criou a Euritmia; o T`ai Chi Chuan e o Yoga. Para Mariana Muniz “entrar no lugar da criação” requer ferramentas ora da dança ora do teatro ou, ainda, de ambas. Desta forma, Grotowski, referência indicada pela artista, permitiu um rico intercâmbio entre a dança e o teatro por uma dramaturga do corpo. “2 Mundos”, cujo registro em vídeo acompanha esta dissertação, é um convite ao universo da LIBRAS (Língua Brasileira de Sinais). Para surdos e ouvintes, neste espetáculo, a palavra ganha corpo e Mariana Muniz nos oferece com delicadeza sua diferença enquanto artista do movimento.

Aparências da forma e forma do espaço: análise da configuração espacial de residências unifamiliares dos anos 1970 em João Pessoa PB

Assuming that the form of a building shell and its content the spatial form are distinct dimensions of architecture - however indivisible and interdependent -, this study focus, in the light of the Social Logic of Space (HILLIER; HANSON, 1984), on the intrinsic properties through which domestic space was structured in a sample of single-family dwellings built in João Pessoa (PB) during the 1970s - when the vocabulary of modern architecture still prevailed in Brazil though sharing the urban scene with other architectural trends -, in order to investigate regularities or divergences underlying their conception. These dwellings were originally classified (ARAÚJO, 2010a) in five categories defined according to the form of their building shells and to their prevailing construction techniques: (1) Brazilian modern legacy (considered as truly Brazilian modern style); (2) Paulista architecture (that refers to the modern production of São Paulo, Brazil, from the 1950s through the 1970s); (3) experiences of rationalization and prefabrication ; (4) experiences of adaptation to the climate (referring to a design strongly influenced by the hot and humid climate of North-eastern Brazil); and (5) hybrid (to account for a kind of stylistic hybridism that includes formal attributes, which evoke our colonial past). This study aims to determine, through the analyses of nineteen cases that represent each category, whether this taxonomy corresponds to distinct modes of spatial configuration. This research therefore proposes an approach to the classification of domestic architecture based on topological properties. The dwellings spatial organization was represented, quantified and analyzed, their spatial properties explored in consonance with one another and with the literature. Results pointed out that there is no evidence of a reciprocal relationship between the formal look of the built shells and their respective spatial structures

Aplicação de modelo agrometeorológico espectral no perímetro irrigado da bacia do São Francisco, utilizando imagens RAPIDEYE.

O objetivo do trabalho foi aplicar o modelo SAFER (Simple Algorithm For Evapotranspiration Retrieving) com a finalidade de analisar os parâmetros biofísicos na área do Perímetro Irrigado de Jaíba, na Bacia do São Francisco. Foram obtidos dados meteorológicos e imagens do satélite RapidEye (resolução de 5m), referente aos dias 26 de junho de 2013 e 29 de abril de 2014. Os valores médios diários do Índice de Vegetação por Diferença Normalizada (NDVI) foram 0,29±0,16 e 0,43±0,18, para 2013 e 2014, respectivamente. Na imagem de 2013 foram observados valores superiores de temperatura da superfície (Ts) (303,08±2,26 K) aos observados em 2014 (296,14±2,32 K). A evapotranspiração (ET) média diária de toda a cena de 2013 foi 0,43±0,96 mm e valor máximo de 6,11. Em 2014, os valores de ET médios diários foram de 2,19±2,01mm. Conforme estudos anteriores, a caatinga converte a maior parte da energia disponível em calor sensível (H), enquanto as culturas irrigadas apresentam altos valores de ET. Com imagens de alta resolução espacial, sem a banda termal, foi possível obter os parâmetros biofísicos da superfície possibilitando o monitoramento em nível de pivô central e talhões de culturas irrigadas, auxiliando o uso racional da água em tempos de deficiência hídrica.
