Quão romance é minha vida amorosa! : namoro virtual e narrativas

This research aims to acknowledge the virtual dating phenomenon. The research deals with this phenomenon in Orkut, a social networking website. Thus, it considers debates and forums that were present in a Brazilian Orkut online community called Conheci meu amor pela internet (I met my love through the Internet). As a staring point the research dealt with issues such as: what are the debates about? How can we deal with practices that question their own dating process? According to the initial hypothesis, these debates reveal different contemporary social aspects: 1) they emerge as a response to demands on behalf of a society that is rather reflexive. This reflexive element is fundamental for the constitution of the self 2) these debates work as support elements in social relations that are built upon this sphere. In this context, individuals write about themselves and constitute themselves as real individuals that acquire a sense as subjects; and 3) people discuss online dating as form reconstructing former experiences. Empirical analysis demonstrates that these forums and polls present themselves as a social phenomenon that allows a particular form of self presentation on the internet. In order for these subjects to present themselves they built their own self narratives. What is possible to acknowledge considering these narratives is that there is a predominance of the element of intrigue that is further solved and demonstrate a satisfactory result. These narrators then choose online dating situation that present happy endings and happiness that are associated to romantic ideals that are worthwhile being shown. The contents present in these narratives are dealt with by the research. Thus, this work defends the thesis that the online dating narratives are a mixture of facts and fiction once all experiences deal with romantic imaginary as well as personal dating experience. Thus, the research is an attempt to understand what goes on the forums and debates that deal with the fictionalized and dramatized daily experiences in the performances that are similar to games. This is possible due to the fact that there is use of romantic fables and concrete experiences realized by online dating

Digital proficiency and digital inclusion: Comparison between students of computer science, public relations and engineering

New information and communication technologies may be useful for providing more in-depth knowledge to students in many ways, whether through online multimedia educational material, or through online debates with colleagues, teachers and other area professionals in a synchronous or asynchronous manner. This paper focuses on participation in online discussion in e-learning courses for promoting learning. Although an important theoretical aspect, an analysis of literature reveals there are few studies evaluating the personal and social aspects of online course users in a quantitative manner. This paper aims to introduce a method for diagnosing inclusion and digital proficiency and other personal aspects of the student through a case study comparing Information System, Public Relations and Engineering students at a public university in Brazil. Statistical analysis and analysis of variances (ANOVA) were used as the methodology for data analysis in order to understand existing relations between the components of the proposed method. The survey methodology was also used, in its online format, as a research instrument. The method is based on using online questionnaires that diagnose digital proficiency and time management, level of extroversion and social skills of the students. According to the sample studied, there is no strong correlation between digital proficiency and individual characteristics tied to the use of time, level of extroversion and social skills of students. The differences in course grades for some components are partly due to subject 'Introduction to Economics' being offered to freshmen in Public Relations, whereas subject 'Economics in Engineering' is offered in the final semesters of Engineering and Information Systems courses. Therefore, the difference could be more tied to the respondent's age than to the course. Information Systems students were observed to be older, with access to computers and Internet at the workplace, compared to the other students who access the Internet more often from home. This paper presents a pilot study aimed at conducting a diagnosis that permits proposing actions for information and communication technology to contribute towards student education. Three levels of digital inclusion are described as a scale to measure whether information technology increases personal performance and professional knowledge and skills. This study may be useful for other readers interested in themes related to education in engineering. © 2013 IEEE.

A organização social da colônia de pescadores de Imperatriz zona 29 (CPIZ-29), estado do Maranhão

Nesta dissertação se analisa o processo histórico da formação social, política e econômicada da Colônia de Pescadores de Imperatriz Zona 29 (CPI Z-29), estado do Maranhão. Inicialmente, apresenta-se a fundamentação teórica concernente aos movimentos sociais de uma forma geral e em seguida especifica-se as origens e a capacidade organizacional dos pescadores sindicalizados haja vista que as colônias possuam status de sindicato. Em seguida, estuda-se como se deu a evolução do movimento dos pescadores no sul do Maranhão e, consequentemente, na região de Imperatriz, ou seja, na área que corresponde à jurisdição dessa Colônia Z-29,detendo-se nos avanços conquistados pela classe principalmente no que diz respeito às políticas públicas voltadas para esse movimento social. Na reconstituição dos acontecimentos históricos e econômicos, procedeu-se não só o estudo da CPI Z-29 que se solidificou no final da década dos anos de 1970, mais precisamente no ano de 1978, quando é fundada a entidade mencionada, mas também dos diversos ciclos de produção que a região de Imperatriz atravessou ao longo dos anos, procedeu-se também a um levantamento do modus vivendi dos pescadores seus costumes, crenças e práticas adotadas pela classe antes e depois de se associarem de forma legal a uma entidade que nascia visando a organização e fomentando um crescimento para uma classe importante porém esquecida. No estudo do processo pertinente ao periodo de sugimento do movimento e capacidade organizacional dos pescadores, analisou-se as mudanças verificadas na vida econômica, política, cultural, ambiental e social motivadas pelas transformações da estrutura organizacioanal da classe dos pescadores intensificadas, principalmente, a partir da implantação dos projetos sociais incentivados pelo Governo Federal. E, ao final, trata-se de visibilidade política dos pescadores, sua participação no processo decisório em nível municipal e os avanços conquistados pela CPI Z-29 desde a sua fundação.

O cinema, o tempo social e o seu intérprete

By understanding art as a particular form of knowledge is possible to think that sociology has much to learn from it. One thesis that we share in this essay is that the art is able to perform the synthesis of the historical time for its specifi c capacity to be in the world, because, while scientifi c knowledge search universal categories, intending to reduce as much the infl uence of human and social aspects in the apprehension of phenomena, aesthetic knowledge, even if it seeks abstract referentials, can not get rid of the experience and the world around it. This premise, based on the reading of Fredric Jameson, worth as much to the art authorial as for the one performed in series, this is, the production of the cultural industry. Both one and another, in their own way, translates the social time, task that fi ts to criticism unravel.
