Um passeio pelos bosques ficcionais de Antonio Tabucchi

The Italian writer Antonio Tabucchi (Pisa-1943, Lisbon-2012) is considered by the critic as one of the most representative voices in the contemporary European literature. The Literature, according to Tabucchi, exerts a fundamental role in society and it, still according to the writer, must cause disquietude, evoke doubts, raise questions and not tranquilize people’s mind. Thereby, it’s noticed that it’s one of the reasons why the tabucchian narrative incessantly dialogues with Luigi Pirandello’s and Fernando Pessoa's poetics, establishing a great fictional game in wich the people, the truths, the history and the world are shown, at the least, duplicated.

A influência da música nas atividades físicas e sua impressão no corpo e nos estados de ânimo

Numerous studies in physical education and music's area have been conducted to improve the quality of life and health of people, all of them under physiological, psychological and social fields. Thus, when properly analyzed, both Areas are connected, because the movement itself, main subject of physical education, has a close proximity to the rhythm, an essential element of music. That's why it is important to discover the benefits of this relationship, because, in many of its practices, physical education makes use of music, for example, in aerobic gymnastic and dance classes. As a consequence, this study aims to investigate, through literature, the influence of music in physical activities and its imprinting in the states of mind and body of practitioners, as well as clarify the criteria for choice of songs that are used in such practice. This research occurred under literary explore, done through theoretical analysis of the thematic. At first place, a contextualization of the auditory system and its relationship with the music and the perception of sound were made, then the main theme was explored. The music, even before generate and influence motor and psychic movements in the human body, is already moving in space, because it is formed through vibrations of molecules. It is decoded first as a movement from the ears, and then decoded as sound, when in the brain. It is important to worry about sounds at high intensities and also with those which are outside the hearing thresholds within physical activities involving music, because they may be harmful to health and also to states of mind. As far as music and movement is concerned, they are closely linked, and the human being has an instinctive sense of rhythm that can be seen when listening to music, because the motor cortex is also activated. Therefore, it is important to work the sound and body movement together, because in practice they are inseparable and they contribute greatly to...

A causação mental segundo o realismo prático de Lynne Rudder Baker

The aim of this paper is to reflect on the problem of mental causation according to Lynne Rudder Baker’s Practical Realism. I try to show how the pragmatic assumptions of the philosopher allow her to criticize the prevalent views about the relation between mind and body, the Cartesian dualism, and, especially, the Jaegwon Kim’s reductionist materialism, as well as to restore and bypass, not without problems, the difficulties inherent in those approaches.

Espaços livres na escola

O projeto de Extensão Espaços Livres na Escola busca contribuir com o bem estar dos usuários, permitindo a estimulação dos sentidos, através da cor, textura, sabor, fragrância, luz e som ali presentes. A “aprendizagem emocional” ocorre como uma experiência não articulada. O brincar é a maneira como as crianças estabelecem relação com o mundo físico e social, em um cenário multissensorial, estimulando o desenvolvimento da mente, corpo e espírito. Entre as características essenciais presentes no jardim educativo podemos citar a relação entre o programa de necessidades e o ambiente, na escala da criança; a relação entre a idade e quantidade de crianças, além de oferecer aos usuários uma variedade de opções e a oportunidade de fazer escolhas, possibilitando a manipulação e permitindo o contato social, inserido no espaço junto à natureza. Portanto, o objetivo principal é a elaboração de um projeto paisagístico para um espaço livre escolar que busque um melhor desempenho ecológico, além de servir como estímulo à aprendizagem e à sociabilidade entre as crianças. Após consulta à Secretaria de Planejamento da Prefeitura Municipal de Bauru, averiguou-se que a Escola Municipal de Educação Infantil Integrada – EMEII Garibaldo, localizada no jardim Santana, em Bauru – SP, fora reinaugurada, havendo interesse na implantação do projeto de extensão universitária. Tendo como ponto de partida o levantamento bibliográfico sobre o tema, questionários aplicados aos funcionários, desenhos elaborados pelos alunos e a análise da edificação e de seu funcionamento, chegou-se a uma proposta de intervenção para as áreas livres como também alterações na edificação, depois de realizadas visitas técnicas à escola. Como metodologia para chegar a uma análise mais crítica do ambiente escolar, levou-se em consideração a opinião dos usuários do edifício - alunos e funcionários – sendo proposta uma atividade de desenho às crianças, evidenciando o que mais gostavam e o que menos gostavam na escola, além de desenhar como gostariam que fosse a escola. A turma selecionada para esta atividade apresentava uma faixa etária de 5 a 6 anos, num total de 17 crianças. Aos funcionários da instituição foi distribuído um questionário para que eles atribuíssem valores de acordo com as problemáticas abordadas. Foi realizada a tabulação dos questionários, com a aplicação do Diagrama de Paretto. A proposta de intervenção foi apresentada aos usuários, discutindo os principais pontos a serem revistos. O terreno da escola ocupa uma quadra completa, tendo em frente uma pequena praça. A vegetação de grande porte é suficiente para toda a área livre, no entanto foi necessário um tratamento paisagístico em escala mais reduzida, com o uso de gramíneas e arbustos de pequeno e médio porte. O uso de diferentes escalas foi importante não apenas na escolha da vegetação, mas também no emprego de diversos materiais, cores e espaços. Os resultados apresentados no projeto incluem a reforma de pisos, jardins, proposição de um novo layout para o playground e propostas para uma melhor organização dos ambientes, buscando dar ênfase à criação de uma identidade visual ao espaço, sem perder de vista a importância do ato criativo das crianças como parte do ambiente de aprendizagem. Além disso, buscou-se incentivar as atividades voltadas à sensibilização e conscientização das crianças quanto ao ambiente, estabelecendo conexões entre horticultura, paisagismo e educação ambiental, com a criação de uma pequena horta, que poderá ser abordada em aulas relacionadas à alimentação, aos sentidos, reciclagem, técnicas agrícolas e preservação do ambiente, valorizando “o fazer” dos alunos. As atividades realizadas demonstram a importância de estabelecermos vínculos entre a Universidade e a comunidade, com a aplicação das pesquisas realizadas. A experiência no ensino de Paisagismo, enriquecedora e instigante, busca levar os discentes a imprimir em seus projetos os valores estéticos, ambientais, funcionais e sociais. O Projeto de Extensão “Espaços Livres na Escola” também permite que levemos esta experiência à comunidade, buscando despertar a consciência e o respeito pela natureza, ao mesmo tempo em que estamos contribuindo, de maneira mais efetiva, na formação da paisagem urbana. No dia 30 de novembro de 2009, a análise e as propostas da extensão universitária “Espaços Livres na Escola” foram apresentadas pelo bolsista e os projetos entregues à diretora da EMEII Garibaldo, com o objetivo de contribuir para sua implementação.

O legado de Descartes

The criticism of Cartesian philosophy is correlated on four pillars: the fragmentation of knowledge, the separation between mind and body, the impossibility of the reductionist method for explanation of natural phenomena, and in the superiority of the reason as the only valid form of knowledge. These last two pillars, as many environmentalists claim, contributed decisively to the devaluation of the res extensa over the res cogitans. To check this we used as a theoretical framework the following texts: Discourse on Method, Rules for Conduct of the Spirit and Metaphysical Meditations. By reading these works it was found that the first two pillars (the fragmentation of knowledge and the separation between mind and body) there are no theoretical basis in texts. The failure of the reductionist method to explain the ecological and atomic phenomena and the overcoming of reason as the only valid form of knowledge are supported in their philosophy.

Desempenho de crianças com deficiência auditiva e implante coclear em tarefas de seleção de e de nomeação de figuras

The aim of this study was to investigate the development of specific domains of Numerical Cognition (Number Sense – NS, Number Comprehension – NC, Number Production – NP, and Calculation – CA) in Brazilian children with Specific Learning Disorders. The study included 72 children (36 boys), from 9-to 10-years-old, enrolled in 4th and 5th years of elementary school of public schools at countryside of Sao Paulo State, Brazil. They were divided into three groups: control (CT, N = 42), Developmental Dyslexia (DL, N = 11) and Developmental Dyscalculia combined with dyslexia (DDc, N = 19). All participants had intellectual level within the normal range, however, children from the last two groups had Learning Disorders classified by School Achievement Test - TDE (Stein, 1994) and DDc children received necessarily classification as 'inferior' in Arithmetic Test of TDE. The children did not differ in NS. DL and DDc children showed slight deficits in NC. However, DDc children had moderate in NP and mild to moderate deficits in CA, which indicates a more generalized impairment in Numerical Cognition. Furthermore, DDc children showed discrepancy in Numerical Cognition performance when compared to the other groups. Thus, children with Learning Disorders showed different performances in Numerical Cognition, although both groups had preserved SN, DDc children showed higher deficits and discrepancy in relation DL and typically developing children.

Os conceitos de ambiente, meio ambiente e natureza no contexto da temática ambiental: definindo significados

We present some clarifications that enable us to identify differences between the expressions nature, the environment and environment. This is not an epistemological approach, but rather reflections on these expressions refer and the implications for environmental issues and hence to Science Teaching. The nature was understood as a complex of real entities, which are capable to be thinking through perception. This same entity when is represented by a mind, become what we call the environment. This expression, in turn, is characterized not only by adding the environments species that are known, but to be a human abstraction. When we consider the uniqueness of each species and organism, which in this environment is inserted, we call environment, this is, the elements that can be seen and on which the organism can act. Thus, we seek to develop a concept broader of environment, which is not restricted to the human species.

Função estética dos signos artísticos para promover processos discursivos em sala de aula

The study investigated the use of an artistic work as mediator to trigger and sustain discursive participation of high school students in the classroom. Since the discursive dimension is an essential factor in constructivist teaching orientation, the general idea behind the work seeks to make use of the aesthetic function of signs to enhance the participation of learners discourse. With this goal in mind, the artistic sign painting Water Fall of the artist Maurits Cornelis Escher is employed for teaching physics concept of conservation of mechanical energy. The study compares two methods of a teacher who tries to promote students interactivity discursive. One methodology is guided only by formulating questions and other uses also an artistic sign along with the questions. The work shows that the teacher gets more successfully discursive participation of their students using the second methodology.

A contratransferência e a importância das capacidades do analista na prática psicanalítica contemporânea

Although the use of countertransference is a controversial topic and the debate on the participation of the analyst’s mind may go back to the old conception of aptness for the analytical task based on personality or psychological makeup, the fact is that the psychoanalyst’s education involves the elaboration of his unconscious conflicts, turning conscious the pathways of his desire and his symptoms through a process of personal analysis and a long theoretical and technical training in the field of psychoanalysis. This study is a literature review based on studies about the maternal function, which aims at showing the path of recovery of countertransference in psychoanalytic theory and technique and the implication of the analyst’s abilities in the analytical process. This development is tributary of the appreciation of maternal function as a model for interpersonal and therapeutic relationship in Psychoanalysis, due to the paradigm of object relations in the British psychoanalytic tradition, being Donald W. Winnicott and Wilfred R. Bion two of its main authors.

Televisão digital terrestre na agenda do MERCOSUL

El escenario de la digitalización de los medios de comunicación, especialmente la televisión terrestre, y una política para el desarrollo de contenidos audiovisuales entraron en la agenda del MERCOSUR. Cambiar de el estándar de TV fue solamente el argumento embrionario para un conjunto de acciones destinadas a dar densidad a las iniciativas conjuntas de Argentina, Brasil, Paraguay y Uruguay en la jóven integración polí- tica y económica del Cono Sur. Así, nos propone- mos la reflexión en torno a las políticas públicas que provocan la implementación de la televisión digital en los países miembros del MERCOSUR intentando delinear los intereses políticos, la reestructuración del mercado regional y el establecimiento de modelos, patrones y sistemas de cooperación entre los países miembros. El análisis nos permite inferir que los gobiernos con matices de de centroizquierda de MERCOSUR optaron por la integración de las políticas públi- cas para fortalecer de la hegemonía del bloque en la innovación tecnológica, el desarrollo de contenido compartido y el fortalecimiento del capitalismo inmaterial.

Conteúdo e forma, percepção e expressão: o ciclo estético de evolução da natureza

This is a theoretical paper that seeks to work, through interrelations, concepts relating to contemporary aesthetics in parallel to phenomenon of perception. It begins with the aesthetic interaction between content and form in order to trace the development of perceptionexpression interaction, inserted into the mutual action of its physical and psychical aspects "through behind" a thinking mind. In order to generalize such interaction to reality itself as a natural and evolutionary cycle, we start from the analysis of perception of more complex organic beings, endowed with consciousness, to extend the question to the simplest organic beings, as even to inorganics. It is based upon principles of equilibrium and unity in diversity to highlight a historical fact that it seems undeniable: that man evolves and this evolution, their perception clears, while that is particularized your experience and aesthetic judgment. Having in the art, the activity can boost an evolution more profound while pleasurable.
