A ação política dos intelectuais no Brasil (1930-1945)

Getúlio Vargas governou o Brasil por duas vezes: de 1930 a 1945, e de 1951 a 1954, ano de sua morte. Norteada por uma concepção centralizadora, a Era Vargas caracterizou-se pelo desenvolvimento econômico, o nacionalismo, o controle sobre os trabalhadores e sobre os sindicatos, o planejamento estatal, a legislação social, os investimentos públicos e, sobretudo, pelo papel atribuído ao Estado como agente econômico. Do ponto de vista político, foi marcada pela precariedade das liberdades públicas, pela fraqueza da participação, por entraves à organização e à institucionalização política. Apropriando-se, à sua maneira, de intervenções políticas que se operavam no plano internacional, a Era Vargas imprimiu ao Brasil conotações autoritárias, populistas e populares, e produziu um modelo econômico e institucional cuja durabilidade foi surpreendente. Neste trabalho procuramos tratar a trajetória da relação entre a ação política e o pensamento intelectual, utilizando-se do elemento histórico para alertar sobre a fraqueza da hipótese que supõe uma bipolarização entre o intelectual isolado e aquele integrado ao contexto político. Destacamos que a “simbiose necessária” entre políticos e intelectuais é resultado da demanda de certo momento histórico no qual os últimos assumem seu papel político e se transformam nos “intérpretes dos anseios da sociedade”.

The transformations economical, social and politics in you finish them decades of the century XX brought changes that didn't just limit to the production system. The flexible accumulation took many workers lost her/it their workstations and they look for her/it new survival forms, migrating for administrative activities, of services rendered and for the tourist activity of small and medium load.

The recreation of fragments of other cultures brought by social actors, resulting from migratory processes stimulated by the tourist development, it has been presenting ruled social relationships in the informational technology, consumption of global goods and in the fragmentation of the urban space characterized by the internationalization and cosmopolitização. That process has been masking the inequalities partners and cultural as well as the territorial appropriation for an economical elite. The spaces are being appropriate for investors of the tourist section, private investors, agents and real estate producers, where the inequality is not just economical, but also cultural.

Terra e natureza: assentamentos rurais de Rio Maria (1974-2004)

Esta dissertação discorre sobre os Projetos de Assentamento Expedito Ribeiro e Vale da Serra, localizados no Município de Rio Maria – Sudeste do PA, estabelecidos pelo Instituto Nacional de Colonização e Reforma Agrária (INCRA) algumas décadas após o início do processo migratório para a região, processo este marcado pela ocupação desigual das terras que trouxe em seu bojo a luta e disputa pela terra entre posseiros e fazendeiros e/ou empresários. Nesse sentido, parte-se da perspectiva de uma história social, regional em direção a local, sem as desvincular de um contexto mais amplo, visto que os processos históricos estão inter-relacionados. Dessa maneira, fez-se o recorte temporal 1974-2004, pois assim, tem-se a possibilidade de percorrer a história da ocupação, a luta pela terra e pela vida e o modo de produção familiar estabelecido nestes Projetos de Assentamento antes e após a inserção de investimentos públicos na área, bem como a relação que os produtores familiares estabeleceram com a natureza ao longo das décadas.

Public internet access revisited

In recent years the Australian government has dedicated considerable project funds to establish public Internet access points in rural and regional communities. Drawing on data from a major Australian study of the social and economic impact of new technologies on rural areas, this paper explores some of the difficulties rural communities have faced in setting up public access points and sustaining them beyond their project funding. Of particular concern is the way that economic sustainability has been positioned as a measure of the success of such ventures. Government funding has been allocated on the basis of these rural public access points becoming economically self-sustaining. This is problematic on a number of counts. It is therefore argued that these public access points should be reconceptualised as essential community infrastructure like schools and libraries, rather than potential economic enterprises.
