Corporalidade brasileira na fabricação da identidade nacional

This paper discusses how, through the creation of Embratur (Brazilian Tourism Company) in 1966, an idealized Brazilian female body was constructed and used to help manufacture a national identity, reinforcing the stereotype of the sexualized Brazilian woman. As it was often associated with sex tourism, this stereotype received much criticism and led to a negative image of Brazil abroad. However, in the 1990s the official tourism lobby softened the “sexy tone” of its discourse, and in 1999 Embratur received an award from the World Tourism Organization for its campaign to help fight the exploitation of children and youth by sexual tourism. In order to better understand how this change in the idealized Brazilian female body unfolded, it is important to deconstruct beauty standards – focusing on those that apply to Brazilian women as seen from abroad – and their relationship to modern consumer culture. Assuming that the cultural analysis of the female body emerges as an important issue in the field of Social Science, the focus on body image can be viewed as a key element in discussions about the construction of national identity.

A representação do trabalho da memória e a busca de identidade em The Voyage Out, de Virginia Woolf

The representation of the work of memory and the search for identity in The voyage out by Virginia Woolf In The Voyage Out, Virginia Woolf portrays the protagonist by showing her inner thoughts. Strategy that analogically allows the conception of the esthetic work of the author as being close to the Freudian memory supported by life and death drives. The objective of this study is to show how the psychic states, revealed by the protagonist, are articulated with the work of memory and the search for identity in the novel.

Identidade feminina: a constituição da identidde múltipla e contraditória na literatura hispanoamericana do início do século XX

O estudo da proposta foucaultiana sobre o poder possibilita focalizar as diferenças sociais de gênero como “multiformes e integradas” com outros pontos de poder, os quais não podem ser reduzidos à estrutura binária dominante/dominado, na relação homem/mulher. Portanto, não existe uma estrutura de “opressão de gênero” universal e mono-causal, pois os diferentes contextos discursivos geram campos atravessados por relações de forças muito diversas e variadas, e uma dinâmica de posições de sujeito que também é regulada e aberta a contingências. Por um lado, pensando nas diferenças de gênero e no posicionamento do sujeito dentro do marco de referência nas primeiras décadas do século XX, no qual há a afirmação do papel da mulher como um sujeito social, público, intelectual e artista, mas também assumindo sua categoria de Mãe e Mulher em uma sociedade patriarcalmente estruturada e, por outro lado, vislumbradas a partir das contribuições teóricas da crítica feminista, da crítica literária feminista e, especialmente, da crítica pós-feminista, denominada pósfoucaultiana por July Cháneton (2007), no sentido em que estas teóricas incorporam critica e produtivamente as idéias de Foucault sobre gênero, subjetividade e poder, verificamos como o discursivo-literário de Alfonsina Storni representa a construção de uma subjetividade feminina de posição identitária “múltipla e contraditória”, como parte constitutiva de uma diversidade de posições-sujeito feminina.

Sobre a idade das crises: as inter-relações sujeito-identidade-feminismo na pós-modernidade

This essay intends to think critically and theoretically on the interrelations among subject, identity, and Feminism in the context of Postmodernity, a context which will be herein denominated ―Age of Crises. These three aspects will be approached under a Historical perspective and put into question in a philosophical sight guided by Post-structuralistic theories, especially Derridian Deconstruction. In general, the main objective is to reach into a discussion about the undecidable inter-relation between Feminist thinking and Postmodernity, which is one of the configurations of the many contemporary crises. In order to do so, it will be necessary a previous discussion on the postmodern subject and its identity. This discussion will open up the possibility of contextualizing and discussing Feminism inside the intended objective. This discussion will be structured around the word ―crises which, in a compositional relation to the word ―age, will be taken as a synonym for ―Postmodernity and ―contemporary. ―Age of Crises, ―Postmodernity, ―contemporary, and ―Feminism will be words haunted by the phármakon phenomenon, a key aspect for Derridian Deconstruction, which will be the gravitational force that approximates and separates, in an undecidable relation, those signs.

Memória e identidade nos romances de Milton Hatoum

This article deals with how Milton Hatoum explores aspects of the memory, through the convergence of voices in his four Lusophone novels Tale of a Certain Orient, The Brothers, Ashes of the Amazon and Orphans of Eldorado. A profile of complex characters is constructed through a synthesis of accounts, letters and depositions, as different faces of individuals and society at large are interspersed through memory.

A formação de professores de espanhol língua estrangeira (Ele) no Brasil e de português língua estrangeira (Ple) na Argentina: identidade(s) em processo de construção e reconstrução

Bajo la perspectiva discursiva, específicamente francesa y según estudios realizados por Hall (2002), Souza Santos (2005) entre otros, que están analizando el concepto de identidad, como los estudios de Celada (2002, 2009, 2010), Serrani (1997, 2003, 2005) y Zoppi-Fontana (2009), con relación al proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje de Lengua Extranjera, verificamos que la construcción de la identidad se da en proceso de constante reconfiguración, visto que aprender otra lengua implica entrar en contacto con otros modos de ver y de nombrar el mundo, y de este modo es necesario “desplazarse” de sí mismo y reconfigurarse con relación a otro(s) hablante(s) de esta nueva lengua a ser aprendida. En nuestro caso se trata de aprender y enseñar lenguas próximas: portugués y español, con rasgos lingüístico-discursivos de aproximaciones y de distanciamientos. Para tanto, este estudio preliminar tiene como objetivos: verificar como acontece actualmente la constitución de la(s) identidad(es) en el proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje de Español Lengua Extranjera (ELE) en Brasil y de Portugués Lengua Extranjera (PLE) en Argentina, en especial en la formación del profesor de estas lenguas; observar contextos de enseñanza y aprendizaje, los que posibilitan la inserción del profesor de Portugués (PLE) en Argentina y del profesor de Español (ELE) en las regiones enfocadas, considerando las Leyes brasileña y argentina que determinan la oferta de la enseñanza de las referidas lenguas: Ley 26.468, de enero de 2009, que determina la oferta obligatoria del Portugués en Argentina y la Ley no. 11.161, de agosto de 2005, sobre la enseñanza de la Lengua Española en Brasil. La metodología, de tipo interpretativista, presupone como instrumentos la realización de análisis de las Leyes que promueven la enseñanza de ELE en Brasil y de PLE en Argentina, así como de entrevistas, preguntas e análisis de los datos levantados.

Uma proposta de integração entre a abordagem kaleckiana da distribuição setorial funcional da renda e a teoria schumpeteriana do processo de concorrência

This paper uses a theoretical schumpeterian and kaleckian to analyze the dynamic effects of innovation on competitiveness and sectoral functional income distribution. By affecting the mark-up and market power successful innovations allow the expansion of the asymmetries between firms, intensifying competition and promoting mismatches in sectoral income distribution between wages and profits.

Tendência de crescimento facial em ortodontia e ortopedia funcional dos maxilares

The knowledge of the facial growth trend is very important in orthodontic treatment. A lateral headfilm is recommended in all young patients undergoing a preorthodontic guidance program to anticipate the best time to begin any mechanical procedures and the possibilities to determine the type of facial growth trend. In type A it will be observed that the middle and lower face are growing forward and downward in unison, with no change in ANB angle. Type B growth trends reveals that growth is downward and forward, with the middle face growing forward more rapidly than the lower and in type C the lower face is growing downward and forward more rapidly than the middle face revealing a decrease in the size of the ANB angle.

Avaliação do índice de Litle em indivíduos que utilizaram o aparelho funcional T4K

The study aimed to assess the degree of dental crowding correction on the lower anterior region of patients treated with T4k functional appliance using Little’s irregularity index. Twenty caucasian patients of both gender (10 female and 10 male) were selected. They featured malocclusion Class I and II in mixed dentition, with chronological age between 5.7 and 11 years. The treatment lasted from 1 year and 11 months up to 3 years and 11 months. Lower anterior crowding was measured using Little’s irregularity index. Measurements were obtained on study models achieved before and after functional orthopedic therapy, using a digital caliper in millimeters and placed parallel to the occlusal plane. Overjet and overbite measurements were also performed using a caliper. Results demonstrated that the therapy provided significant decrease in overjet (average = 1.55 mm) and also in the irregularity index (average = 1.23 mm). There was a nonsignificant raise in overbite. There was no relation between the studied variables and the treatment period or even with the patient’s age in the beginning of the therapy. The treatment with T4k resulted on reduction and improvement of dental crowding.

Resina composta indireta como alternativa funcional e estética em reabilitações protéticas

Due to mechanical and aesthetic improvement properties, continuous fiber-reinforced composites have been developed to replace the metal framework in fixed partial dentures becoming an interesting alternative to conventional treatments. A male patient, 57 years old, attended at Fixed Partial Denture Clinic of Araraquara Dental School - UNESP, complaining about upper right first molar absence. After clinical examination, it was observed: upper right second molar with amalgam restoration and periodontal bone reduction and upper right second premolar unsatisfactory treated. Following the clinical conditions and the patient expectations, it was decided to use a fiber-reinforced composite resin to make a three-element fixed bridge. The patient showed full satisfaction with the aesthetic and functional results. The case has been followed up for 60 months.

Reabilitação estético-funcional sobre implantes agulhados e endósseos

This report shows the resolution of a case study whose aim was promote the aesthetic and functional rehabilitation of upper left hemi-arch over endosseous and needle implant prostheses. To improve the position of the needle implants, we performed the bucco-palatal bending of needles splinting them with composite resin; we removed the screwed implant prosthesis in the regions of the premolars (24 and 25) and molar (26). The mini-abutments of the last two implants were replaced, and in the first premolar and canine, we used cemented abutments due to implant angulation having planned soldering because of implant size and contact with one needle implant that could interfere with intimate contact bone/implant damaging biomechanics. Pick-up impressions were performed with an open tray, using a retractor cord in the needle implants and respective transfer copings. Therefore, models were related on semi-adjustable articulator after a face-bow recording and interocclusal indexes. After working cast fabrication and try-in of infra-structures, these were adjusted and related into the articulator again. Then, after ceramic build-up, adjustments, finishing, and torque, chemically-activated resin cement was applied on units 21 to 24. At the end of the case, we concluded that a good aesthetic and functional rehabilitation depends on thorough knowledge of techniques for each clinical situation.

Reabilitação estética funcional associando onlays em cerômero e resinas nanoparticuladas

Introdução: a perda da dimensão vertical de oclusão (DVO) é resultada de um grande desequilíbrio oclusal, onde não apenas a perda dos dentes pode ser o fator responsável, mas também as parafunções, entre elas, o bruxismo. O restabelecimento da relação maxilomandibular é condição necessária para que uma adequada reabilitação bucal seja executada, devolvendo, assim, função e estética perdidas. Objetivo: descrever um caso clínico de reabilitação em paciente bruxista, com presença de desgastes dentários, desgastes de tratamentos restauradores previamente existentes, fratura de onlay e bordas incisais, restabelecendo uma nova DVO por meio de onlays posteriores em cerômeros, recuperando a estética com restaurações diretas em resinas compostas nos dentes anteriores. Conclusões: a reabilitação bucal com levante de mordida em onlays devolve a DVO perdida de maneira segura.
