O futuro do presente: a mídia audiovisual e a sociedade contemporânea na ficção científica do cinema de animação

This research presents a study that seeks to analyze the images of the future in science fiction movies, specifically those made through animation techniques, exploring particularly the representation of audiovisual communication medias in its dialogue with the approached societies in the movies chosen to be analyzed. The proposed discussion seeks approximations in order to answer to the question that initiated this research: how are we thinking the future nowadays? It also seeks to, according to Morin (1997), comprehend aspects of the contemporary society by using the cinema, and at the same time, to understand the cinema, aided by a social analysis

Poesia digital: três leituras da Obra de Jason Nelson

The development of digital technologies has opened up a new niche for artistic production. It began to emerge artworks that could only happen in the digital context. In this study, we investigated the syntax of defining digital poetry, recognized internationally as one of the possibilities of this new artistic practice, and how happens the meaning during the reading process. As research corpus, we chose the poem "Birds Still Warm From Flying", by american poet Jason Nelson. And we structure our analysis looking through three perspectives: the digital poem as a game; as the evolution of experimental trends of twentieth-century poetry; and as a representation of Rubik`s Cube, a famous three-dimensional puzzle from the 1970`s. Initially, we made some considerations about the construction of digital poetry as a hypermedia artwork, looking through convergence and hybridization of artistic and media languages. Then, we saw some similarities between Nelson`s poem and electronic games, based on our critical observations about the concept of interactivity. Subsequently, we wrote a historical overview about the poetic experimentation in the twentieth century, bringing examples of sound poetry and visual poetry as evidence that the birth of digital poetry is also the result of the evolution of these experiments. Finally, we use the Charles Sanders Peirce`s semiotics to analyze the signs that give references able to make us recognize the Rubik`s Cube in "Birds Still Warm From Flying"

O entardecer de uma era: técnica, poesia e pensamento em Heidegger

The thinking dialog between Heidegger s philosophy and the poetry of Hölderlin and Rilke must be dealt in language s domains. The difficulty to establish this dialog comes from the man in itself, unable to think out of the understructure of science and the modern technique. The poetic language was forgotten or ignored, turning itself obsolete in front of improvements and resources of the technique. Heidegger searches the essences to the poetry so may it be comprehended in its plenitude for the man. Technique, poetry and existence must be pronounced and investigated so the being shows itself again. To Heidegger, the man lives in a period of uncertainty due finding himself at the sunset of age. The uncertainty generates the poverty and the night of world represents the absence of god and original truth. Only with the fundamental comprehension of poetry, the man of today can project himself to the future not anymore as technique product, but with freedom to choose. The message of poetry of Hölderlin and Rilke, according to Heidegger s interpretation, transmits an alert to the contemporary man against the coming danger in his maintained relation with nature. The purpose of the following work is to build this thinking dialog, without disfigure the poetry, but taking approach over its essence, so from there to remove its true existential value.

O pai presente: o desvelar da paternidade em uma família contemporânea

O objeto deste estudo é a figura concreta de um pai, presente em sua corporalidade e afetividade, que se depara com a demanda subjetiva, advinda da exigência de revisão de seu papel no mundo contemporâneo. Buscamos encontrar a paternidade que acolhe e convive com o processo de transformações em marcha: o pai que transita entre valores novos e arcaicos. O acesso a este conhecimento se deu através do método clínico de pesquisa, com apoio da psicanálise. Sem submeter os participantes ao tratamento psicanalítico, aplica seus conceitos na interpretação de fenômeno que tem dimensão subjetiva e também, social. Adotamos a entrevista como principal instrumento e a análise qualitativa enquanto estratégia, por permitir relevância à fala do entrevistado e dela extrair o dado significativo para nossas indagações.

A apreciação musical infantil: aspectos da constituição da infância contemporânea no discurso de crianças do Ensino Fundamental

Music can be found in peculiar historical and social context with distinct functions, such as religious rituals, ethic-esthetic education of subjects, therapeutic elements, critic and maintenance of established patterns, among others. Considered as language, music acts on dialogue dimensions of the body, the senses, the affectionate-cognitive and of social interactions. Their uses reveal the social forces that cross the culture and constitution of subjectivities. The attribution of senses by the subjects to musical production reveals the cultural voices in dialogue, that circumscribe determined social places to them. Our aim in this work is to investigate the child musical appreciation, with children about 7 to 9 years old, and, by attributing uses and senses to music, unveil the voices that settle the places intended and assumed by infancy in contemporaneity The child constructs its musical appreciation through cultural access and mediation, possible by circulation in several socializing groups like family, school, church, infant groups, community groups and, more recently, publicity and media These last two spheres, enabled by the development of the technological means of communication, contributed to the dissemination of the set of consume ideas and for the emergence of the cultural industry, characteristic of the capitalistic production way in its present configuration. They develop new possibilities of perception of the world, in which the limits between childhood and adulthood are not anymore the same that have been established in previous centuries. So, the child musical appreciation is constituted by homogeneity regarding the senses built and disseminated by cultural industry and by the logical merchandizing, and singularities, associated to the construction of senses in interaction with global, local, and multiple contexts, through which the subject circulates and constitutes himself polyphonically

Atividades de construção de sentido: a cosmovisão no discurso poético de a poesia em pânico

This study try to integrate concepts from referenciation theory to highlight processes of meaning construction of the book A Poesia em Pânico, written by the Brasilian poet Murilo Mendes.

Equaly, textuals analises are used to demonstrate various aspects of the theories. At the same time, a reading of the main elements of discourse was constructed throughout the study, trying an aproximation beetween the fields of linguistic and literary theory

Entre corpos reais e virtuais: reflexões da dança contemporânea para pensar o corpo na educação física

Esta pesquisa objetiva identifi car as novas confi gurações de corpo advindas da interconexão entre Dança e Tecnologia, bem como compreender de que maneiras essas confi - gurações se aproximam e contribuem para a compreensão de corpo na Educação Física. O recurso metodológico é a análise de imagens dos vídeos de dança: Digital Brazuca e Corpo Aberto. Os vídeos analisados apontam para um repertório de saberes, que podem ser problematizados na área, e contribuem para reconfi gurar a relação homem/ambiente. Nesse sentido, promovem a plasticidade e a polissemia de relações entre o carbono e o silício, e desenham outras formas de compressão do corpo que incluem a complexidade, a incerteza, a reversibilidade e a descoberta

Educação e direitos humanos: desafios para a escola contemporânea

A educação voltada aos direitos humanos ainda não faz parte da prática nem do currículo da escola brasileira. em momentos de crise de valores públicos e privados e da sociedade como um todo, torna-se imperativo que as temáticas da igualdade e da dignidade humana não estejam inscritas apenas de textos legais, mas que, igualmente, sejam internalizadas por todos que atuam tanto na educação formal como na não formal.
