Producción de arte secuencial en Ecuador desde 2003 a 2013: análisis de clubs de cómics

En la sociedad actual es muy importante la imagen, el manejo de la misma es un valor que debemos tener como individuos u organizaciones. Parte de esta concentración por lo visual que el cómic es un objeto de estudio interesante para entender la cultura contemporánea. Adicional a esto el cómic es una propuesta estética que puede desarrollarse más en el Ecuador. Así se plantea este trabajo de investigación como un análisis de los clubes de cómic y artistas ecuatorianos, concentrándose en sus metodologías y formas de organización. Consecuentemente los relatos de los artistas y de quienes forman los clubes de cómic son la base de esta investigación para poder plasmar cómo se produce cómic en el país. De esta manera se pudo visualizar cómo artistas individuales se relacionan con instituciones públicas o privadas para lograr mantener sus proyectos vigentes y evolucionando. También se evidenciaron los puntos dentro del proceso de producción de cómic, más difícil de llevar a cabo por parte de artistas individuales y colectivos pequeños. Siendo la organizaciones grandes las que pueden mantener esos procesos de producción con más capacidad. En esta investigación: se explicó la razón de la formación de clubes de cómics. Los procesos de producción de cómics se describieron determinando las competencias y falencias de artistas y colectivos. La relación entre clubes y artistas con instituciones es la base para que se desarrollen proyectos difusión de cómic al igual que la producción de este arte.

El proceso de ruptura de la pintura ecuatoriana entre 1999 y 2007

El interés particular es investigar la pintura ecuatoriana de finales de los años noventa e inicios del siglo XXI y los factores que incidieron en el proceso de ruptura, como oposición al período de modernidad tardía que se constituyó en las vanguardias artísticas y modelo de búsqueda perpetua de lo propio y lo universal a lo largo del siglo XX. Dicho interés se centra en el análisis que ocupa las prácticas y saberes de la pintura, como un género tradicional que experimenta una serie de mutaciones dentro de la noción de “campo expandido”, una fórmula que combina diversos recursos estético-conceptuales y escénicos, en la que se adicionan las nuevas tecnologías. Así también, la preocupación por vocabularios temáticos en correlación con el campo interdisciplinario, a partir de posiciones posibles del artista, como sujeto social que busca estrategias y mecanismos de reflexión. Bajo este contexto se promueve el diálogo y la participación de la comunidad, instituciones, academia y artistas visuales en el entorno de la cultura contemporánea. Simultáneamente, se propone un análisis alrededor de los espacios de negociación basados en el reconocimiento de pintores/as, artistas visuales, respaldados por las instituciones y medios autorizados; como antípoda, a los artistas emergentes, colectivos y productores culturales que operan de forma independiente. Así se abordan diversas problemáticas como bases de análisis en un carácter de sedimentación o fragmentación del lenguaje pictórico de identificación local, regional y global.

Corpus ex machina : a ciborguização da enfermeira no contexto da terapia intensiva

A pesquisa busca analisar as tensões humano-máquina em materiais pedagógicos utilizados pela enfermagem em terapia intensiva e, entre esses materiais pedagógicos foram analisados os manuais e protocolos assistenciais. Para desenvolvê-la, apóio-me na teorização cultural e no trabalho de autores e autoras que têm problematizado a noção de corpo e de sujeito na pós-modernidade a partir dos pressupostos teóricos do pós-estruturalismo. Entre os/as autores /as utilizados, indico os estudos de Donna Haraway e seu entendimento de ciborgue – uma idéia produtiva que possibilita explorar a ciborguização da cultura contemporânea e suas implicações para a enfermagem em terapia intensiva. Utilizo a abordagem metodológica da análise cultural tal como esta vem sendo desenvolvida pelos Estudos Culturais que se aproximam do Pós-estruturalismo, para descrever e analisar, em três lições, alguns dos diferentes tipos de ciborguização que se materializam na prática da enfermagem em terapia intensiva. Para tal intento, selecionei alguns acontecimentos que sintetizam significados importantes da terapia intensiva na contemporaneidade, a saber: o atendimento avançado de reanimação cardiorrespiratória, a produção de imagens de corpos doentes através de um complexo sistema de monitoramento e o deslocamento das fronteiras entre a vida e a morte. Com base nessa análise, discuto no final, os desdobramentos dessas tensões no discurso da humanização da assistência na área da saúde.

Instâncias da representação imagética hiper-real

The approach that undertakes this work revolves around the emergence of iconic structures on reflecting about the meaning of different methods of image representation through which the contemporaneity reveals itself. At baseline, three aspects are considered looking for an analytical ontology of the act of representation and imagery: the transition of representation in the oral culture of societies for writing, from these to typography, and finally the creation of a representation device. Resorted to, therefore, the argument by some genealogy reference points that technological instances such as writing, printing and photography, the evolution of this process, correspond, in itself, a consequent shift technique, for each representation precedent. In the area of the image, the most salient aspect of this change in foward process is the emergence of hyper-reality: the instances of hyper-realistic representation. In the Western context, the 'simulation of the world' - essential idea of mimesis is the work of an autonomous an conventional system. It should be noted, then the fact that under unreflective of the post-industrial societies, the mass-media image is coating with natural or fake code including - according to Baudrillard - tends to replace the real world in the "perpetuation of a large chain of simulacra." Hence in modern times, in the postindustrial society, during the crisis of the representation regimen and perception, centered in the referent. In this limit, new settings are established by aesthetic representations of imagery in contemporary culture: establishing spaces of simulation [Jean Baudrillard] the spectacle [Guy Debord] and hypermodernity [Gilles Lipovetsky] in which they operate. In these assemblages, saps the emergence of Hyper-reality Representation Instances - as seen in this study aesthetic events to configure itineraries of a new sensibility. It is the nature of this practice sign-iconic, ingrained in the creation of current artistic expression, which this research engaged in peering: the hyper-realistic setting, taking empirical support central to contemporary imagery production, diverse formats of analog representation.

A percepção de crianças e adolescentes sobre cenas de violência urbana

The article presents part of an evolutionary study regarding the ideas of children and adolescents on urban violence. The study included 40 subjects aged between 6 and 15; consisting of 10 subjects aged 6, 10 aged 9, 10 aged 12, and 10 aged 15. All subjects were enrolled in two public schools, one located in the interior of São Paulo’s State and the other in greater São Paulo. The subjects underwent three methodological procedures: a clinical interview, the drawing of a picture, and the analysis of a movie. In this paper we present data taken from the movie presentation, a silent cartoon which contained scenes of violence. The results indicate that subjects have difficulty in understanding the phenomenon of violence and its complexity. Subjects associated violence only with the most visible and concrete situations or conflicts, and they cannot identify the different types of violence contained in the drawings. The analysis and the theoretical references are based on the Piagetian perspective on the construction of social knowledge. Pedagogical implications based on evolutionary studies and the comprehension of the processes performed to the understanding of the social reality will be presented in this article, as well.

A formação ética do educador: competência e juízo moral de graduandos de pedagogia

Traditionally, undergraduate education emphasizes theory and technique. The ethical education of the professional who will act in society is placed at most in a discipline related to professional´s deontology. Ethical discussions are developed in a bored way and the mission of educating students is considered fulfilled. Based on this analysis, the principal purpose of this study was to verify if the training provided by university has some influence on the development of students’ moral judgment and moral competence. The participants were 540 undergraduate students from the first and the last year of education from Pedagogy course from two universities of São Paulo state, one of them was public and the other private. The instruments were Defining Issues Test (DIT-2) and Moral Judgment Test (MJT-xt). The results indicated that the training received did not lead to significant improvement of their capacity to reflect about moral issues.

Leitura em Ambientes Cíbridos: a cosmo(a)gonia geométrica de Patrick Burgaud

Contemporary culture is showing us, with growing evidence, that fields of knowledge and spheres of action interpenetrate strongly, forcing us to change behavior in order to connive with the productive and creative new ways. Our scope is to consider the cybrid environment in which we situate the reader in his relations with the poetic productions created in the digital world, from the perspective of a contemporary context of reading done through interfaces and also by a reading of a poem by Patrick Burgaud.

A metáfora fundamental do discurso de John Dewey

This work aims to identify the rootmetaphor of John Dewey’s philosophical and educational discourse, by means of rhetorical analyses parameters. This methodology is founded in Aristotle and in the works of Chaïm Perelman and other contemporary authors involved in the revision of Aristotelian philosophy. The article examines the essays “The philosophical work of Herbert Spencer” and “The influence of darwinism on philosophy”, published by John Dewey respectively in 1904 e 1909. They were written in the early years of Dewey in Columbia University, which intellectual environment was not dominated by Pragmatism, and for this reason they can be considered seminal in the structuring of the author’s arguments. The analysis reveals that Dewey is favorable to Darwinian evolutionism thesis and opposite to Spencer’s one. This positioning suggests that Dewey’s discourse is bound to the metaphor “undetermined route” because it situates evolution as a process devoid of previously listed purposes at a pre-determined plan, subject only to the relations that are established, so unpredictable, between organisms and the environmental conditions that surround. Analyzing Dewey’s ideas about education, the article concludes that “undetermined route” is the rootmetaphor of Dewey’s discourse, hypothesis that can contribute to discuss Dewey in the context of contemporary philosophy.
