Compreendendo a dança do Torém: visões de folclore, ritual e tradição entre os Tremembé do Ceará

Este artigo pretende discutir as mudanças históricas e culturais que têm afetado o torém, a dança específica mantida pelos Tremembé do estado do Ceará. Ainda que o torém tenha sido referido em registros históricos desde o século dezenove, ele tem sido objeto de apreciações e percepções diversas por muitos grupos sociais. Índios, pesquisadores, missionários e agentes do Estado têm tido diferentes posições, às vezes contraditórias, sobre a dança. Um de meus principais objetivos é entender como o torém tem sido progressivamente objetificado por idéias de folclore, etnicidade e política a partir dos contextos históricos específicos nos quais eles devem ser situados. Preocupações antropológicas sobre a experiência da etnicidade são relacionadas a elementos particulares da dança, especialmente os significados do vestuário, da música e da performance.

Correcció d'exercicis de lògica per l'ACME

La Universitat de Girona, i més concretament el Departament d’Informàtica i Matemàtica Aplicada, ja fa uns anys que ha posat en marxa el Projecte Avaluació Continuada i Millora de l’Ensenyament, també anomenat ACME. Aquest projecte és una plataforma d'e-learning, és a dir, un sistema d’aprenentatge a través de la xarxa que potencia la col•laboració digital i el bescanvi d’informació entre alumne i professor. El creixement que ha experimentat la plataforma, ha estat possible gràcies al disseny modular de l’aplicació, on cada nova funcionalitat que estava essent desenvolupada evolucionava de manera independent a la resta de la plataforma i sense comprometre’n el funcionament. Per afegir un nou mòdul a l’ACME, s’utilitzen els mòduls de base que confereixen l'estructura a la plataforma i les eines per incorporar nous mòduls, amb el que la implantació d’aquests a la plataforma és d’elevada senzillesa. Actualment, la majoria de les assignatures de primer del Grau d’Informàtica ja disposen d’exercicis adaptats a la plataforma, el que dóna una uniformitat en les eines i plataformes que utilitzen els alumnes en la seva formació. Però no hi són totes les assignatures, falta incloure l’assignatura de Lògica a la plataforma. D’aquesta manera, tant els alumnes com els professors de l’assignatura, podran treure profit dels beneficis esmentats que aporta l’ACME. Concretament, a l’assignatura de Lògica es disposava d’uns aplicatius a la plataforma Moodle de la Universitat de Girona on es guiava a l’alumne en la resolució dels exercicis. Aquest mètode és molt interessant com a mètode pedagògic per a l’aprenentatge inicial de l’assignatura, però no representa un repte real on els alumnes hagin d’aplicar els seus coneixements per a la seva realització. Els alumnes també disposaven d’un dossier on se’ls proposava uns exercicis molt complets, i a les pàgines finals d’aquest se’ls donava la solució. Aleshores, de manera voluntària els alumnes realitzaven els exercicis i comprovaven amb la solució si havien aprés a resoldre’ls. Per tant, tant els responsables de l'assignatura de Lògica com els responsables de la plataforma ACME van veure que es podrien desenvolupar eines a l'ACME per tal de corregir de forma automàtica els exercicis de l'assignatura. Incorporar l’assignatura de Lògica a l’ACME permet que els alumnes es vegin més involucrats a fer exercicis durant els curs de manera continuada, gràcies als terminis d’entrega, i facilita als professors la seva tasca deslliurant-los de les correccions i oferint-los-hi eines de seguiment

Studies on storm surges and sea level variations along the east coast of india

It became so usual for the east coast of India to face at least IO to 15 cyclones every year, out of which 3 to 4 may reach the deep depression stage. As a result the east coast of India experiences frequent heavy damages of varying intensities due to storm surges and it is also not unusual to experience a calamitous deluge once in a decade or so. Loss of life and damages can be minimized only if the magnitude of the surge could be predicted at least a day in advance. Therefore, an attempt to study the storm surges generated by the cyclones that strike the east coast of India and. suggest a method of predicting them through nomogram is made

Okupar, resistir, insistir : uma etnografia das práticas de ocupação urbana Fortaleza / Ceará

The objective of this dissertation is understand the relationships built between subjects who occupy buildings in a state of abandonment to revitalize them - called okupas, noting which individuals construct such meanings on the practice of occupation and how to organize the construction and maintenance of a collective life project. Having the Okupa Squat Torém, located in the neighborhood of Fatima in the southern city of Fortaleza-CE, as locus and observed through the ethnographic method, followed the social practices of urban segment. I invested in a data collection revealed that the custom of okupas and their domestic habits, inside and outside of okupa, emphasizing the interaction situations, like most appropriate occasions to observe the constant negotiation and refinement of his cunning to intervene in the city . Among the objectives of this research, the main thing is to observe which senses are assigned to the practice of the occupation by okupas. For this, reflecting from the specifics of this urban phenomenon and talking mostly with the tradition of research in the field of anthropology, I tried to address some issues regarding the practice of okupação and organization of the group, which the principles and movements that make these contacts with city etc. The appropriation made by the subjects on the urban space here means understanding them as a cultural expression of a number of collective values, resulting from experience and perception of okupas like themselves. The intention is to show how this practice intervention and collective action has appeared in contemporary times and how my ethnography can contribute to a dialogue on the practices of mobilization and update of the city, considering the Theory of Recognition Axel Honneth (2003) as an analytical category useful to describe the forms of reciprocity experienced by okupas

A cultura de índio, seu menino, vem de longe aqui : formação histórica e territorialização dos Tremembé/CE

This dissertation is based on the ethnography of a strategic selection of three Tremembé ethnic situations, which are situated in the backlands of Acaraú and Itarema, municipalities located in Ceará State (Northeast Brazil). My main aims are the following. Firstly, I reconstitute the historical and social formation of three localities, called Lagoa dos Negros, Telhas, and Queimadas, related to a particular origin myth which refers to Almofala, an extinct colonial Aldeamento in the seashore, where the Tremembé indians and other native populations were converted and gathered under missionary administration. According to the origin myth, these three localities were set up after a strong drought which happened in 1888 (the so called three eights) when a group of Tremembé families moved to the countryside and established close to the Lagoa dos Negros and, later on, they were segmented into smaller groups which started to live in other areas and places not far from the former location. Notably, I develop an anthropological approach to understand the historical formation of these three localities. Secondly, I analyze some processes of territorialization, which were emerged from the 1980s and had important consequences to these indigenous families throughout the next two decades. This historical dimension is re-appropriated and ressignified in ethnic terms. A third point of my work is the analysis of the construction of territorialities and also the cultural and symbolic dimensions which are formulated by the Tremembé Indians who live in these localities. Therefore, I investigate some cultural traditions and rituals, such as the Torém dance, but I also examine their multiple semantics, which constitute a transversal direction throughout the history understood by the Tremembé of the different social situations I researched. To sum up, there is a process of cultural actualization, which is still going on and presents itself through the ludic sphere as well as their political and religions dimensions, which are usually associated to the ritual presentation of the Torém
