Buber e Weber em torno da política e da ética: o vértice da decisão valorativa como espaço para a dialogia

Weber, como perceberemos mais tarde, assumiu como desafio a tentativa de apontar um resgate para a possível corrosão da política na modernidade, pois em uma época histórica marcada pela percepção de empreendimento, constitui-se uma dificuldade fazer com que a política assuma a característica de vocação. Buber assumirá a importância para a compreensão de um viés para o agir oriundo de uma outra vertente interpretativa da política, distinta dos traços clássicos da modernidade ocidental, contribuindo decisivamente para a elaboração da decisão ética firmada em uma transcendência alicerçada na mística judaica e no humanismo hebraico. Quais seriam então as condições para a política assumir uma relação digna com a ética, em uma era marcada pela desvalorização de todos os valores? Ou em uma concepção Iluminista, como doar à política a possibilidade de retomar o princípio da emancipação dentro da própria eficácia, incorporando a necessidade do “responder ético” em relação à face do outro? Questões como as apontadas acima são os alicerces que motivaram esta pesquisa.

Nas dobras da memória oficial: cidade, imagem e história na voz de rezadeiras de Capanema-PA

Em Capanema, no nordeste do Pará, mulheres rezadeiras, motivadas por fotografias, tecem narrativas históricas desvelando trajetórias de migrantes nordestinos para o município, elaborando representações do conflituoso cotidiano da vida urbana. Por meio de sensibilidades urdidas em simbiose de corpo, voz e imagens, as narradoras produzem práticas de leitura que permitem questionar a escrita convencional da história local, consagrada nos jogos mentais de centenas de moradores. Este artigo, portanto, seguindo a metodologia da História Oral e dialogando com intelectuais dos Estudos Culturais e Antropologia da Religião, ao cruzar a leitura de imagens oficiais com a interpretação dada pelas rezadeiras sobre tramas e dramas da urbe, numa perspectiva "vista de baixo" e popular, esgarça imaginários cristalizados, trazendo para a escrita da história outras experiências e paisagens culturais comumente postas nas dobras de retratos emoldurados pelo discurso do poder hegemônico.

Necessidades atuais para a educação ambiental: serão possibilidades?

This study had two objectives: to build theoretically the hypothetical landmarks of the environmental crisis and to conjecture new horizons or utopias which can fulfill themselves in the future in search of another being of the man in the world. Therefore, a bibliographic research has been done and, as methodology of analysis, a dialectic critical method has been used to understand the reality in its contradictions and in the totality of the history, through some suggestions, going toward the domain of the state of things which we can verify in the world nowadays. It has been observed that the hypothetical landmarks of the environmental crisis had and have its origins in the Jewish-Christian monotheism, in the exacerbation of the reason as the only way of knowledge and in the process of capitalist accumulation. Therefore, these landmarks, in almost their totality, have historically been built even before the advent of the capitalism. From this point, three suggestions were launched as questions, or so, possibilities, to open a discussion about the construction of another paradigm: Is it necessary another sense of religion? Is it necessary another sense of reason? Is it necessary another sense of sustainable development? Thus, these questions which have been launched, were thought as the current necessities for the environmental education and they implicate in another historical condition to the mankind.

Surasky Family Papers - Accession 250 - M115 (147)

The Surasky Family Papers consists of correspondence, newspaper clippings, reminiscences, poetry, and other papers mostly photocopies. Of particular interest are a reminiscence by Esther Pinck entitled “Remembrance of Things Past”, concerned with the Jewish experience in Aiken, SC; papers related to Mina Tropp, a painter who developed a unique medium of painting with flora and who is also published poet; and letters of Judge Justine Wise Polier, well known Juvenile Court judge in New York. Collection is almost all photocopies.

Arnold Michael Shankman Papers - Accession 98

The Arnold Shankman Papers consist mainly of photocopies of manuscript collections which Dr. Shankman used for his research and writing. Included are pamphlets, biographical sketches, correspondence and newspaper accounts. Most of the collection relates to the American Civil War, particularly in Illinois, Georgia, and Pennsylvania, but there is material relating to Jewish history, African-Americans and United States foreign relations.

Spiritist Psychiatric Hospitals in Brazil: Integration of Conventional Psychiatric Treatment and Spiritual Complementary Therapy

In Brazil, during the XX century, dozens of Spiritist psychiatric hospitals emerged seeking to integrate conventional medical treatment with complementary spiritual therapy. This combined inpatient treatment is largely found in Brazil, where many psychiatric hospitals stem from the Spiritist movement. The present report describes the use of these spiritual practices, their operating structure, health professionals involved, modalities of care, and institutional difficulties in integrating spiritual practices with conventional treatment in six leading Brazilian Spiritist psychiatric hospitals. These hospitals combine conventional psychiatric treatment with voluntary-based spiritual approaches such as laying on of hands ("fluidotherapy"), lectures regarding spiritual and ethical issues, intercessory prayer, spirit release therapy ("disobsession") and "fraternal dialogue". The non-indoctrination and optional nature of these spiritual complementary therapies seem to increase acceptance among patients and their family members. In conclusion, the Spiritist psychiatric hospitals in Brazil have, for more than half a century, provided an integrative approach in the treatment of psychiatric disorders, associating conventional and spiritual treatments, more specifically Spiritist therapy. The lack of standardized treatment protocols and scientific studies remain a barrier to assessing the impact of this integrative approach on patients' mental health, quality of life, adherence, and perceived quality of treatment.

Prevalence of the BRCA1 founder mutation c.5266dupin Brazilian individuals at-risk for the hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome

About 5-10% of breast and ovarian carcinomas are hereditary and most of these result from germline mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. In women of Ashkenazi Jewish ascendance, up to 30% of breast and ovarian carcinomas may be attributable to mutations in these genes, where 3 founder mutations, c.68_69del (185delAG) and c.5266dup (5382insC) in BRCA1 and c.5946del (6174delT) in BRCA2, are commonly encountered. It has been suggested by some authors that screening for founder mutations should be undertaken in all Brazilian women with breast cancer. Thus, the goal of this study was to determine the prevalence of three founder mutations, commonly identified in Ashkenazi individuals in a sample of non-Ashkenazi cancer-affected Brazilian women with clearly defined risk factors for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) syndrome. Among 137 unrelated Brazilian women from HBOC families, the BRCA1c.5266dup mutation was identified in seven individuals (5%). This prevalence is similar to that encountered in non-Ashkenazi HBOC families in other populations. However, among patients with bilateral breast cancer, the frequency of c.5266dup was significantly higher when compared to patients with unilateral breast tumors (12.1% vs 1.2%, p = 0.023). The BRCA1 c.68_69del and BRCA2 c.5946del mutations did not occur in this sample. We conclude that screening non-Ashkenazi breast cancer-affected women from the ethnically heterogeneous Brazilian populations for the BRCA1 c.68_69del and BRCA2 c.5946del is not justified, and that screening for BRCA1c.5266dup should be considered in high risk patients, given its prevalence as a single mutation. In high-risk patients, a negative screening result should always be followed by comprehensive BRCA gene testing. The finding of a significantly higher frequency of BRCA1 c.5266dup in women with bilateral breast cancer, as well as existence of other as yet unidentified founder mutations in this population, should be further assessed in a larger well characterized high-risk cohort.
