Design versus artesanato: identidades e contrastes

There are at least three different visions about origins of design; the most diffused is the idea that design begins with the Industrial Revolution. Some see the design as heir of a special kind of crafts at Revolution’s eve, because it already have a former project and work division. Less diffused is the idea that there aren’t much significant differences between design and crafts, giving to design some millenniums of history. But, being the designer heir of this millenary tradition isn’t time to reconciliate it again with crafts? Shouldn’t we return to defend the rescue of concepts of project before the modernism?

Laboratório de design solidário - LABSOL: projeto de extensão em design na perspectiva da geração de trabalho e renda

Introdução: Na sociedade contemporânea costuma-se associar Design ao consumo de luxo, entretanto o design encontra-se aplicado a todos os objetos, do automóvel ao clips, todavia o Design parece estar sempre atrelado à sociedade de consumo, à indústria a serviço do capital e das relações de subordinação e expropriação a ele atrelado. Assim faz-se necessário despertar no aluno do curso de Design a possibilidade da aplicação de seu conhecimento a serviço de uma sociedade mais democrática e solidária, de não apenas produzir a serviço do capital, mas pensar de forma mais abrangente, considerando o bem comum. Objetivos: O Labsol, desde 2007, procura: Otimizar, revitalizar e qualificar a produção artesanal através dos conceitos de ecodesign, sustentabilidade e economia solidária, tendo em vista a auto sustentabilidade das comunidades produtoras. Desenvolver projetos e ações que promovam encontros entre o Design e o patrimônio cultural do artesanato. Preocupar-se com a qualificação do produto artesanal e sua inserção no mercado, tendo em vista a auto sustentabilidade das comunidades produtoras. Métodos: A formação dos integrantes do LabSol é continua e baseada em três conceitos fundamentais: sustentabilidade, economia solidária e eco design. As ações se dão a partir do convite de uma comunidade de artesãos na perspectiva da qualificação estética ou produtiva de seus trabalhos e a melhoria da geração de renda. Utiliza-se o método empírico, de caráter prático, através de estudo de caso. Em uma visita aprende-se métodos e técnicas utilizados pela comunidade, e de volta à sede, faz-se revisão bibliográfica e utiliza-se a metodologia do projeto em design para melhoria das técnicas produção, o redesenho de produtos e a geração de novos objetos de design. Construídos modelos e protótipos e avaliado seu potencial de comercialização são submetidos a aprovação da comuni-dade através de oficinas. O diferencial no trabalho do LabSol se dá na maneira que os projetos são entregues aos grupos. Entende-se todo o processo como um aprendizado de mão dupla, da troca de saberes, onde os membros do laboratório aprendem da comunidade dados de sua cultura e de seus modos de fazer, em contrapartida novos produtos são levados de volta a comunidade, entendidos como mais um dado cultural posto a disposição da comunidade podendo ou não ser por ela incorporado. Resultados: Com mais de 20 grupos atendidos, e centenas de produtos de eco design, as ações o LabSol resultam na pesquisa de eco design, materiais, técnicas, métodos e de novas tecnologias sociais, gerando um número significativo de publicações e exposições de divulgação. Tem recebido graduandos de relações públicas e engenharia de produção, a junção de saberes tem permitido um aprimoramento na qualidade de atendimento ás comunidades.

O desejo e a indústria cultural no processo de subjetivação: diálogo sobre o corpo na educação física escolar

We analyzed the Cultural Industry and impositions for manners of production of capitalism in subjectivity, exposing the subject to alienated fragility. Because, the consumption doesn't just refer to the contemplation of images for subjects, but also about identification that subjects can have about images. The contemporary society is composed in individualist adoration by self, demanding pledge and self-control to reach the wanted body and idealized spread by media, disseminating idea of corporal pattern. So, we understood that the school physical education, being the field of knowledge of cultural corporal, has as function, also, to act as intercessor in relationship with media, above all when worked with pertinent subjects to corporeality contributing so that student, through exercise of critic, transform the society. Therefore, the educators need to extrapolate hesitation front media and make critical use of formative and informative possibilities, on consumption and impact on the body.

Indústria frigorífica halal no Brasil, mão-de-obra islamita e estado de exceção

In the last decade, Brazilian meat export rates for Muslim religious countries have increased, and also has the immigration of Africans workers able to perform the slaughter following the precepts of Islam - religion that has expanded in the world, and thus, has the halal food segment. Halal, the Islamic ideology, means lawful, authorized by God: are those products that Allah in the Holy Qur'an releases for human consumption. To get halal certification some measures during slaughter/processing food should be taken. In the case of the slaughterhouses the animal must be slaughtered by a Muslim. Consequently, the demand for this skilled labor makes many African-Muslims get jobs in factories owned by BRF Foods, JBS and Marfrig; refugees and with their citizenship rights committed, these individuals live in a socio-political state of exception and overexploitation. In this study we intend to discuss the object of study Islamist workforce in Brazilian halal meat industry using the theoretical reflections of Giorgio Agamben (Homo Sacer in 2002, and State of Exception, 2004) and David Harvey (The Condition of Postmodernity, 2008, and The New Imperialism, 2004) to address the situation of immigrants in the meat business in Brazil, specially those on the halal certification segment, whose working and living conditions were described from academic studies and primary sources (articles in newspapers / magazines, websites, immigration official data). In addition we use the works of Rogério Heasbaert (O mito da desterritorialização, 2007) and Robert Kurz (Os paradoxos dos direitos humanos: inclusão e exclusão na modernidade, 2003) to discuss human mobility in this new century

Avaliação de sistemas de manejo de palhiço de cana-de-açúcar no campo e na indústria

This work presents and it evaluates the systems of crop of sugar-cane trash for energy ends, through studies accomplished in three industries of sugar and alcohol, of the State of São Paulo, as withdrawal in the field and crop partially integral with separation of the trash in the industry (cleaning the dry). it is Treated of a development of opportunities, because only when there is pulp shortage it is that remembers the energy use of the trash, which presents a larger cost for equivalent ton in energy again that the pulp of the sugar-cane, that already has a very spread trade in the section the sugar and alcohol. Another factor that should be outstanding is the environmental, because the Environmental Protocol exists, sanctioned by most of the producing of sugar-cane, that reduces the period for elimination burned of the sugar-cane before the crop implanted by the Law 11.241 of 2002. However it is important to highlight that the crop of the sugar-cane without it burns her previous, it increases the difficulty in the combat the pest denominated “cigarrinha-da-raiz”, turning necessary the retreat of part of the trash non beneficial for the soil, contributing like this, with the practice of removal of the trash for energy use. Of the obtained results it is ended that the most interesting modality economically, was the separation of the trash in the industry and that for better efficiency, the sugar-cane should go by a double process of blowing for cleaning, pointing out, however, that there was reduction of the capacity of transport of the sugar-cane as adult was the amount of trash partially in the crop integral.
