A noção de materialismo em Gaston Bachelard

O objetivo da dissertação é fazer uma análise do materialismo presente nas duas vias do pensamento de Gaston Bachelard, a epistemológica, e a poética. Vamos partir da hipótese de que a noção bachelardiana de materialismo surge na poética dos elementos cósmicos sendo depois desenvolvida e aprofundada na vertente epistemológica, principalmente na obra O materialismo racional. O desenvolvimento do trabalho tornará evidente a distinção bachelardiana entre a imaginação material e a imaginação formal, e a crítica que Bachelard faz à perspectiva substancialista dos elementos apresentada por certos autores. A análise da vertente epistemológica vai se voltar para a química do século XX a fim de mostrar que esta supera o substancialismo, inerente às teorias químicas antecedentes. A conclusão tornará evidente a conceitualização da matéria enquanto resistência, ressaltando a crítica que Bachelard faz ao vício da ocularidade.

Barro e conhecimento : por uma poética humana

O conhecimento sensível e criador com argila afirma a arte em sua função estética, social, política, ética e ecológica e se posiciona a partir de práticas educacionais e estéticas. Este trabalho relata o processo instituinte de uma oficina com barros desta região, junto à Secretaria de Cultura do Munícipio de Bagé/RS, que buscou vias de acesso a esta cultura. Propõe reflexões que tornaram possível compreender o quanto a arte, a educação e a ecologia podem estar interligadas se não forem tomadas como partes independentes do conhecimento desvinculado da vida. O presente trabalho com argilas, com os sujeitos singularizados e o método fenomenológico permeado pelo diálogo com a proposta de imaginação material lançada por Gaston Bachelard, articulado a outros autores, permitiram configurar esta pesquisa como possível pedagogia da imaginação capaz de gerar espaços vitais.

Imaginários da morte: poética das imagens em cemitérios brasileiros

The thesis presented is committed to a poetic reading that results in the creation of meaning and images of the death from the various cultural practices and symbolic representations exposed in urban cemeteries in some Brazilian cities, aiming to give visibility to new understandings about the imaginary of the in the contemporary scene. Death, therefore, will be seen as a imagining condition of anthroposwhen starts itself from the prerogative of the human consciousness of death (MORIN, 1970), in other words, this awareness that man has he will die and that triggers reflections about their existence allows the emergence of a number of practices such as: mourning, funeral rituals and the creation of several impregnated representations of human emotions emerged from the death facing the man and present, in a more evident form in cemeterial spaces. For this, it focuses on the conflictuous dimension that man establishes with death, because the cultural practices and symbolic representations observed in the research field are the result of this conflict and allow the expansion of the senses about this issue, to the extent that these are coated with a fantastic aura, mystical, secret, spooky, fearful, religious, building a complex imagination. The general plan of this study is to discuss and create, from a phenomenology of imagination and materials / dynamics imagination, as well as along the lines treated by Gaston Bachelard, images of death, from a field experience in cemeteries in Brazil. For this, it is assumed, to observe the cultural practices and symbolic representations in these spaces, a posture able to make the experience into the search field a moment of symbolic exchanges and creation. Thus, it was used observation, conversations with visitors and employees of the cemeteries and the capture of photographic records. The data produced as a fragment of a conversation, a tearful outburst about the loss of a relative, a melancholic epitaph, a flower on the grave or a cry captured by photography were seen as detonators of meanings and a poetic of the imagination.

Experiência, imaginação e invenção: chaves para um estudo da leitura e escrita entre pessoas pouco escolarizadas

Pensando na importância do contato com o livro e com a leitura, bem como da difusão deste contato, o estudo propõe como objetivo geral, buscar compreender e apontar alguns elementos de como se dão os processos de leitura e como esses podem contribuir para o conhecimento de si e do mundo em que se vive, entre pessoas leitoras e/ou pouco escolarizadas. Para criar esse espaço de leitura, a obra de Lewis Carrol, Alice no País das Maravilhas foi escolhida como material por oferecer amplas possibilidades de leitura, desafiando ao entendimento e proporcionando a busca do leitor pela identificação com as (des)venturas vivenciadas pela protagonista. O compartilhar da leitura foi proposto e desenvolvido junto a alunos e alunas de uma sala de Educação de Jovens e Adultos em uma escola do município de Rio Claro/SP. O estudo é organizado em três momentos de leituras: o primeiro momento apresenta as primeiras leituras realizadas, onde busco entender o lugar e o papel da leitura na formação, situandome como leitora de Alice no País das Maravilhas, e entrelaçando os caminhos de Alice por esse mundo com os caminhos que percorremos como leitores. O segundo configura-se como uma pesquisa documental que objetiva conhecer mais profundamente o livro em pauta e as versões a que, como leitores, temos acesso, propondo levantar diferentes edições disponibilizadas no Brasil. O terceiro momento encaminha-se para as (re)leituras, onde apresento os registros referentes à pesquisa de campo, dos meus caminhos para compartilhar a leitura de Alice..., e das leituras compartilhadas. A proposta de estudo apoia-se, conceitualmente, nas noções de leitura e escrita como práticas culturais, sendo o livro assumido como um objeto cultural; a questão da leitura e escrita posta para pessoas pouco ou nada escolarizadas situa-se em uma perspectiva de interlocução com a cultura escolar e com a cultura cotidiana; e o que concerne às (des)venturas com Alice...

Characterization of commercial double-walled carbon nanotube material : composition, structure, and heat capacity

A purified commercial double-walled carbon nanotube (DWCNT) sample was investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermogravimetry (TG), and Raman spectroscopy. Moreover, the heat capacity of the DWCNT sample was determined by temperature-modulated differential scanning calorimetry in the range of temperature between -50 and 290 °C. The main thermo-oxidation characterized by TG occurred at 474 °C with the loss of 90 wt% of the sample. Thermo-oxidation of the sample was also investigated by high-resolution TG, which indicated that a fraction rich in carbon nanotube represents more than 80 wt% of the material. Other carbonaceous fractions rich in amorphous coating and graphitic particles were identified by the deconvolution procedure applied to the derivative of TG curve. Complementary structural data were provided by TEM and Raman studies. The information obtained allows the optimization of composites based on this nanomaterial with reliable characteristics.

Report : school survey to collect data on material performance

A survey of a number of schools in a number of different climates was carried out to determine the condition of building components of interest in the project. Schools in Melbourne, the Victorian Surf Coast, Brisbane, Townsville and the Sunshine Coast were inspected. A rating system was devised to categorise the components and the results collated in tables. Analysis of the data (where sufficient examples permitted) resulted in formulae to predict the service of the components and a database was derived.

Data mining on prices of highway project main material based on WEB

The management of main material prices of provincial highway project quota has problems of lag and blindness. Framework of provincial highway project quota data MIS and main material price data warehouse were established based on WEB firstly. Then concrete processes of provincial highway project main material prices were brought forward based on BP neural network algorithmic. After that standard BP algorithmic, additional momentum modify BP network algorithmic, self-adaptive study speed improved BP network algorithmic were compared in predicting highway project main prices. The result indicated that it is feasible to predict highway main material prices using BP NN, and using self-adaptive study speed improved BP network algorithmic is the relatively best one.
