Da pedagogia à escola : sentidos sobre profissão professora

Este trabalho de dissertação tem como objetivo contribuir para os estudos sobre os processos formativos (universidade e escola) do sujeito – professora, graduado em Pedagogia, licenciado para atuar como professora, no sistema de ensino, na especificidade dessa graduação. Ao enfocar este tema entendo ser a formação inicial importantíssima e o curso um lugar muito precioso para formar o profissional da educação. A investigação sobre a qual me debruço inscreve-se no campo da educação, especialmente na área de formação de professores, no campo da Pedagogia e na Análise de Discurso, conforme a linha teórica de Pêcheux. O meu estudo é guiado pelas noções teóricas que envolvem sujeito, discurso e produção de sentidos, na inter-relação entre língua e acontecimento. Ao situar a problemática na perspectiva discursiva, busco saber como os discursos produzidos no curso de formação inicial e no trabalho pedagógico têm contribuído e interferido na produção de sentidos sobre " ser professora " Sem me esquecer que o sujeito significa a partir de outros " já ditos " que povoam o seu dizer, busco evidenciar efeitos de sentidos manifestados na linguagem das professoras egressas do curso de Pedagogia de Sinop/MT, tendo em vista três enfoques: a legislação educacional, e em especial sobre o curso de Pedagogia e sua discussão atual; a relação entre a formação universitária e a prática na escola, e o trabalho pedagógico. Procuro configurar o modo como o " ser professora ", nas dimensões estudadas, adquire sentido no dizer das professoras egressas na escola. Para o estudo do funcionamento discursivo, defini as marcas lingüístico-discursivas "não e tem que "- que assinalam a presença de discursos vários no dizer da professora, considerado em sua heterogeneidade. O meu gesto interpretativo me leva a constatar que ambas as marcas, com efeitos de sentidos vários que foram analisados, se coadunam e se afluem para uma posição discursiva, relacionada à afirmação do sujeito-professora, gerando um efeito de certeza do seu saber - fazer, demonstrando segurança no exercício da profissão, entendida, num sentido restrito, como a relação pedagógica efetivada na sala de aula.

Ernest W. Michel Papers, 1698, 1938-1996 (bulk 1946-1987)

Redescriptions of two species and descriptions of three new species of the louse genus Bizarrifrons Eichler, 1938 (Phthiraptera: Ischnocera: Philopteridae)

Redescriptions of Bizarrifrons magus (Nitzsch [in Giebel], 1866), the type species of Bizarrifrons, and B. picturatus Carriker & Diaz-Ungria, 1961 are given based on material from their type hosts. The nymphal instars of these two species are described and illustrated for the first time. Also, three new species are named and described: B. latifrons, from the russet-backed oropendola, Psarocolius angustifrons alfredi (Des Murs, 1856); B. wecksteini, from the Amazonian oropendola, Psarocolius b. bifasciatus (Spix, 1824); and B. quasisymmetricus, from the solitary cacique, Cacicus solitarius (Vieillot, 1816) (Passeriformes: Icteridae). Two species-groups are proposed, and a checklist and a key for the species of Bizarrifrons are also included. Sequences of a portion of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (COI) and the nuclear elongation factor 1 alpha (EF-1 alpha) genes for two species are given for the first time in this genus.

Letting go of Neo-Liberalism (with some help from Michel Foucault)

Neo-liberalism has become one of the boom concepts of our time. From its original reference point as a descriptor of the economics of the “Chicago School” such as Milton Friedman, or authors such as Friedrich von Hayek, neo-liberalism has become an all-purpose descriptor and explanatory device for phenomena as diverse as Bollywood weddings, standardized testing in schools, violence in Australian cinema, and the digitization of content in public libraries. Moreover, it has become an entirely pejorative term: no-one refers to their own views as “neo-liberal”, but it rather refers to the erroneous views held by others, whether they acknowledge this or not. Neo-liberalism as it has come to be used, then, bears many of the hallmarks of a dominant ideology theory in the classical Marxist sense, even if it is often not explored in these terms. This presentation will take the opportunity provided by the English language publication of Michel Foucault’s 1978-79 lectures, under the title of The Birth of Biopolitics, to consider how he used the term neo-liberalism, and how this equates with its current uses in critical social and cultural theory. It will be argued that Foucault did not understand neo-liberalism as a dominant ideology in these lectures, but rather as marking a point of inflection in the historical evolution of liberal political philosophies of government. It will also be argued that his interpretation of neo-liberalism was more nuanced and more comparative than the more recent uses of Foucault in the literature on neo-liberalism. It will also look at how Foucault develops comparative historical models of liberal capitalism in The Birth of Biopolitics, arguing that this dimension of his work has been lost in more recent interpretations, which tend to retro-fit Foucault to contemporary critiques of either U.S. neo-conservatism or the “Third Way” of Tony Blair’s New Labour in the UK.

Michel Foucault's 'the birth of biopolitics' and contemporary neo-liberalism debates

Neo-liberalism has become one of the boom concepts of our time. From its original reference point as a descriptor of the economics of the ‘Chicago School’ or authors such as Friedrich von Hayek, neo-liberalism has become an all-purpose concept, explanatory device and basis for social critique. This presentation evaluates Michel Foucault’s 1978–79 lectures, published as The Birth of Biopolitics, to consider how he used the term neo-liberalism, and how this equates with its current uses in critical social and cultural theory. It will be argued that Foucault did not understand neo-liberalism as a dominant ideology in these lectures, but rather as marking a point of inflection in the historical evolution of liberal political philosophies of government. It will also be argued that his interpretation of neo-liberalism was more nuanced and more comparative than more recent contributions. The article points towards an attempt to theorize comparative historical models of liberal capitalism.

Michel Foucault : the unconscious of history and culture

Michel Foucault: The unconscious of history and culture The French thinker, Michel Foucault (1926–84), is noted for his extensive and controversial forays into the historical disciplines. When his work first began to circulate in the 1950s and 1960s, historians did not quite know what to make of it and philosophers resented the appearance of what they saw as the importation of the tedium of concrete events into the pure untainted realm of ideas. If these responses to his work remain alive and well decades after Foucault's death, the uptake of his work has become far more complex. To restrict ourselves to the discipline of history here: if one very visible and vocal camp of historians remains deeply ambivalent about his work, this merely disguises the fact that a far larger contingent of historians of all kinds – not just those located in history departments – use his ideas quite unremarkably ...

Spatial metaphor as spatial technique in the work of Michel Foucault

This essay argues that the deployment of spatial metaphor in the writing of Michel Foucault is indivisible from his spatial politics. Beginning with his 1967 essay "Of Other Spaces," the development of Foucault's spatial politics and his growing awareness of the importance to his work of spatial (particularly geographic) metaphors can be charted. The focus here is not the concretisation of Foucault's early spatial obsessions—particularly with regard to the concept of "heterotopia"—into a theory or model. Rather, I am concerned with the way in which those obsessions inform Foucault's major works, in particular The Archaeology of Knowledge and Discipline and Punish. These works, I argue, do not develop a theory of space, but instead perform, through their rhetoric, a kind of spatial praxis. In this sense, Foucault's metaphors become "spatial techniques" for the practice and production of power–knowledge.
