Narrativas poéticas e trajetórias dos poetas em Mossoró/RN

The city of Mossoro/RN has showed up as a “cultural capital” in the state of Rio Grande do Norte due to a politic of events that enhance historical facts occurred in that region. These actions evoke researches about a construction of a self-identity of the city and attract many tourists that provides a boost to local economy. Considering this, this paper aims to understand the insertion of poets in this cultural context, analyzing the cultural performances that they participate and their personal narratives. Semi-structured interviews and participant observation in cultural events were employed to get this aim, privileging the observation of popular poets, whose presentations are more frequent. This overview took to the approximation with two artists associations, of which the interviewed poets were selected: “POEMA – Associação de Poetas e Prosadores de Mossoró” and “Casa do Cantador”. The relationship observed among the artists of these institutions – writers, improvisers, cordel makers, musicians and “emboladores de coco” – raised questions about the complexity of popular culture and the social connections among the artists of the city, discussed in this study.

Um brinde à cachaça: o patrimônio históricocultural e seus usos turísticos nos alambiques do Rio Grande do Norte

The study proposes to present a discussion about the value of cachaça as a cultural heritage and its relation with the touristic activities in the State of Rio Grande do Norte.

A Construção da Nação em Cabo Verde: Homogeneidade e Heterogeneidade na Configuração Identitária

Em oposição à situação predominante da heterogeneidade da maioria dos países africanos, cuja sociedade compreende a existência de inúmeros grupos étnicos ou diferentes religiões e culturas, Cabo Verde é definido como um Estado-Nação que reconhece uma identidade coletiva, traduzida na língua e na identificação de elementos culturais comuns pertencentes a um mesmo espaço arquipelágico. O ponto de partida para este estudo assenta na preocupação em se compreender a noção de Nação neste país, que sugere a ideia de uma sociedade onde os fatores homogéneos predominam sobre os heterogéneos ou, em último caso, que se trata de um mecanismo de coabitação entre estas duas dimensões que poderão inicialmente parecer antagónicas, mas que prestam um especial sentido ao debate acerca da identidade nacional. Ao longo deste artigo, destacaremos tantos os factos históricos, bem como o contributo dos principais movimentos culturais, sem ignorar a importância da tomada de consciência no que se refere à ideia de Nação.

Uses of history in history education

This compilation thesis contains an introductory chapter and four original articles. The studies comprising this thesis all concern aspects of how historical culture is constituted in historical media and history teachers’ narratives and teaching. It is argued that the teaching of history is a complex matter due to an internal tension resulting from the fact that history is both a product and a process at the same time. While historical facts, and knowledge thereof, are an important aspect of history, history is also a product of careful interpretation and reconstruction. This study analyses and discusses how history is constituted in history textbooks and popular history magazines, i.e. two common historical media, and in teachers’ narratives and teaching of history. The study finds that the historical media studied generally tend to present history as void of perspective, interpretation and representation, suggesting this to be the culturally warranted form of historical exposition. Moreover, the teachers studied also tend to approach history as if it were not contingent on interpretation and reconstruction. These results indicate that the history disseminated in historical media and history classrooms presents history in a factual way and disregards the procedural aspects of history. Applying the history didactical concepts of historical consciousness, historical culture and uses of history, this thesis argues that an essential aspect of historical understanding is an appreciation of the contextual contingency that characterises history. All history is conceived within a particular context that is pertinent to why and how a certain version of history is constructed. Furthermore, all history is also received within a particular context by people with particular preconceptions of history that are contextually contingent, in the sense that they are situated in a certain historical culture. Readers of historical media are members of societies and are thus affected by how history is perceived and discussed in these contexts. This thesis argues that an awareness of these aspects of history is an important factor for furthering a complex understanding of history that encompasses the tension highlighted above.

Photography, desire and resistance in the lives of women, following the 1979 revolution in Iran

In my last four years of PhD by practice at the Royal College of Art, I have conducted extensive research on archival photography including materials held at the Museum der Weltkulturen, Frankfurt am Main; the Institute for Iranian Contemporary Historical Studies (IICHS) , Tehran; and the International Institute of Social History (IISH), Amsterdam. My project started with the fortuitous encounter with a photograph taken by Iranian photographer Hengameh Golestan on the morning of March 8, 1979. The photograph shows women marching in the streets of Teheran in protest against the introduction of the compulsory Islamic dress code. In 1936 Reza Shah had decreed a ban on the headscarf as part oh his westernising project. Over forty years later following the 1979 Revolution, Ruhollah Khomeini reversed this decision by ordering that women should now cover their hair. This ‘found image’ presented me with a glimpse into the occulted history of my own country and the opportunity to advance towards a deeper learning and understanding of the event of March 8, 1979 a significant date in the history of feminism in Iran. In what follows I revisit the history of Iran since the 1979 revolution with a particular inflexion on the role women played in that history. However, as my project develops , I gradually move away from the socio-historical facts to investigate the legacy of the revolution on the representations of women in photography, film and literature as well as the creation of an imaginary space of self representation. To this end my writing moves constantly between the documentary, the analytical and the personal. In parallel I have made photographs and video works which are explorations of the veil as object of fascination and desire as well as symbol of repression.

Módulo de compostagem e cultivo para aplicação em espaços de habitações urbanas

A agricultura foi a base de partida para a evolução do ser humano como civilização. Este projeto de dissertação consiste numa primeira instância uma análise que aborda historicamente a evolução humana como sociedade desde o Neolítico até aos tempos atuais e factos históricos imprevisíveis que influenciaram o seu percurso como sociedade. O desenvolvimento de um compostor com uma zona de cultivo modular tem o intuito de funcionar nos espaços das habitações urbanas como objectivo principal ser pedagógico e funcional. A metodologia utilizada remete para a análise de factos históricos da sociedade com posterior análise de produtos de excelência na área de compostagem e de cultivo. Para uma análise das necessidades dos utilizadores, foi desenvolvido um mind map, desenvolvido um questionário e analisado um conjunto de produtos do mercado. Estas análises deram origem a um conceito de um produto final, que posteriormente foi convertido no modelo CAD 3D, que serviu para simulações de pressão e para o processamento de renderes foto realistas que servem como representação do produto final. No contexto pedagógico foi desenvolvido um folheto focalizado na demonstração do funcionamento do produto.

Exportaciones de petróleo de Colombia en relación con cantidades y precios internacionales: 1994-2014

La economía Colombiana, históricamente primarizada, ha dependido fundamentalmente de materias primas provenientes de productos agropecuarios y de la industria extractiva como productos petroleros, oro y carbón. Y siendo el petróleo crudo uno de los productos que junto con su categoría han pasado a representar el 40% del total de las exportaciones totales (DANE, 2016) y el 74% del total de las regalías que recibe el país (DNP, 2016), el desempeño de este producto impacta la economía colombiana de manera colosal. Este estudio brinda un análisis matemático de las variables que afectan la exportación de petróleo crudo en Colombia, seguido de un desafío de los resultados con diferentes postulados teóricos relacionados al crecimiento de economías a través de las exportaciones, así como variables endógenas y exógenas que las impactan. La metodología usada en esta investigación se basó en la recolección de datos en temas de producción, exportación e ingresos nacionales de petróleo crudo, ingresos nacionales por exportaciones totales, y los precios internacionales del petróleo. Al contrastarse entre sí, los resultados demuestran la correlación altamente positiva que la exportación del petróleo crudo tiene con la producción nacional y prueban la marcada concentración e importancia de la exportación de petróleo crudo en las ventas externas colombianas y sus efectos en la economía nacional, según lo acontecido en el periodo de 1994 a 2014.

Desmitificaciones, historia y símbolos: los héroes impuros (Rosibel Morera)

In this article I analize the novel Los héroes impuros by the Costa Rican authoress Rosibel Morera. The analytical categories used include, from the elimination of absolute historical facts, all the way to the notion of eternal return (Mircea Eliade), processes of idolization, and the various symbols appearing on the text. Examination of these categories shows the characters´ duality because of their universality, and also the worldview and the conception of literature held by Morera.

Making decisions in the absence of clear facts: a historical perspective

Recently, a claim has been made that executive decisions makers, far from being fact collectors, are actually fact users and integrators. As such, the claim continues, executive decision makers need help in understanding how to interpret facts, as well as guidance in making decisions in the absence of clear facts. This report justifies this claim against the backdrop of the modern history of decision making, from 1956 to the present. The historical excursion serves to amplify and clarify the claim, as well as to develop a theoretical framework for making decisions in the absence of clear facts. Two essential issues are identified that impact upon decision making in the absence of clear facts, as well criteria for decision making effectiveness under such circumstances. Methodological requirements and practical objectives round off the theoretical framework. The historical analysis enables the identification of one particular established methodology as claiming to meet the methodological requirements of the theoretical framework. Since the methodology has yet to be tried on information-poor situations, a further project is proposed that will test its validity.
