O presente artigo busca reconstruir a trajetória de um militar específico na Marinha do Brasil, através da memória reavivada, especialmente entre os anos de 1962-1964 na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. E a partir da análise de suas memórias busca-se um melhor entendimento acerca das experiências dos marinheiros na urbe fluminense, de suas demandas relativas a questões sociais atinentes à carreira e a atividade militar naval. Visto que as demandas desses militares encontravam barreiras de diversas ordens, principalmente pela negação da alta administração naval em abrir espaços de negociação referente aos direitos básicos dos praças menos graduados dessa força. Analisando ainda a escalada da crise entre o Conselho do Almirantado e a Associação de Marinheiros e Fuzileiros Navais do Brasil,como parte integrante do processo que culminou com o golpe civil militar no ano de 1964.

Este estudo indaga as várias possibilidades de compreensão crítica da experiência – humana e religiosa – da peregrinação. Depois de se explorar a polaridade presente na própria noção de “experiência” tal como pensada pela mentalidade técnico-científica e pela convicção religiosa, mostra-se, ainda, como também as abordagens das ciências humanas reproduzem polaridades semelhantes, até ao ponto da rutura epistemológica. A consideração da peregrinação como “arquétipo” e “narração” completa as possibilidades de compreensão crítica desta experiência, as quais são, finalmente, submetidas a avaliação à luz da atual busca de espiritualidade.

O objectivo deste artigo é apresentar brevemente a Sociofísica, uma disciplina que, nas últimas décadas, se tem vindo a desenvolver na fronteira entre a Física e as ciências sociais. Como ilustração da sua abordagem, iremos rever alguns modelos de formação de opinião, incidindo nas condições em que uma sociedade é mais sensível à penetração de uma mensagem externa. Nomeadamente, iremos ver que é mais fácil uma mensagem ser consensualmente aceite numa sociedade caracterizada por conflitos – o que recorda a antiga máxima “dividir para reinar”. Concluiremos, sugerindo que a construção deste novo campo do saber requer uma colaboração entre sociólogos e físicos, que vá mais além de uma simples justaposição de conhecimentos.

Neste artigo, o autor trata da legenda dos santos Cosme e Damião, padroeiros dos médicos e sua ilustração xilográfica em Legendários de Santos portugueses do século XVI. Nela se refere um caso de uma operação cirúrgica a um cancro em que se recorre ao transplante de uma perna.

One of the most appalling (and appealing) aspects of Black Mirror is the atmosphere of complete hopelessness in which the majority of episodes end. This essay, however, tries to prove that, at least in Nosedive, there is a way out. Using the concepts of (canonical) dystopia and critical dystopia, as understood by Rafaela Baccolini and Tom Moylan, along with Guy Debord’s idea of the society of the spectacle, I will provide a theoretical apparatus to support my analysis of the episode. After identifying the main aspects which cause and perpetuate the dystopic state on the episode, the paper will also explore their effects on people. Having this context in mind, the essay focuses on the importance of performances and social masks as one of the main results of a dystopia of the society of the spectacle. Then, it analyzes the role of different characters who somehow manage to escape the dystopic order and, simultaneously, reflects on the intriguing ending that only seems to reinforce the possibility to face Nosedive as a canonical dystopia. In conclusion, this essay argues that the non-obvious ways out of that dystopian state have actually a bigger impact on the audience.

: The concept of validity is so central to testing and assessment that it would be practically impossible to research it or practice it without taking this concept into consideration. Motivated largely by the recent developments of performance assessment, which assesses language use in social contexts, however, this concept has been through extensive review in meaning and comprehensiveness to the point of becoming one of the most discussed and controversial concepts in the field of language assessment nowadays, or, as pointed out by Chapelle (1999), one of the most interesting and important aspects in Applied Linguistics. My aim in this article is to discuss the modern or expanded concept of validity/validation (as opposed to the traditional concept), which takes into consideration not only the evidencial basis but also the social consequences/washback in validating a test (Messick 1989).

In this article we offer an overview of the main trends that have been the methodological basis of the field of mother tongue didactics, particular by over the last fifty years, relating essential aspects such as: psychological, linguistic and pedagogical. Methods based on essential traits of communicative methodology are analysed. The need to establish principles aimed at pointing out each learning situation are highlighted.

This article describes teachers as a professional group, focusing on preservice teachers and refining their profiles on the basis of the studies carried out in educational research. Personality as a major contributor to beliefs and teacher presence in the classroom in a more general sense help to building teacher identity over the period of first becoming and then being a fully-functioning classroom practitioner. Teacher self-concept and identity are developmental in nature and undergo constant fluctuations. They make for the success and/or failure, enthusiasm or burnout of every individual teacher, irrespective of his/her teaching contexts. New teachers who enter classrooms for the first time do not enter them empty-handed. They hold beliefs which have various origins and enjoy varying degrees of sustainability over time and the experiences they encounter. These are discussed here, both theoretically and by means of illustrative studies. When considering teachers over their whole careers, clear developmental stages can be distinguished. These are shown in the form of different models presented in the literature on teacher training and development. The article concludes with a brief description of pre-service teachers` profiles.

In this study, the Author draws attention to the longevity of female conventual education and analyzes its development, especially from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries onward, with the diffusion of the novitiate in female religious houses. The Author also studies the cases of the female monasteries in Bologna, in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the range of subjects taught there as well as the two most important works published in the context of the post-Tridentine normative dispositions on nuns and novices: the Specchio religioso per le monache (1609), written by Giovan Pietro Barco, and La monaca perfetta, ritratta dalla Scrittura Sacra con autorità et essempii de’ Santi Padri (1624), by Carlo Andrea Basso.

The article on A Wise and Prudent Woman (from an original by Goldoni) begins with some information on Portuguese versions with different titles (1768 and 1778), it analyses a later handwritten copy (1784) and following that, dwells on the consideration of the argument and on character analysis. The plot essentially concentrates on the sensible and efficient way in which the protagonist acts, initially exchanged by her husband for a lover of higher social position and rehabilitating her marriage through finely interwoven stratagems without harming anyone. In the end, everyone is grateful to her and even the servants learn their lessons, one of which is, no doubt, that of the required mutual understanding for a happy marriage.
