Religious fundamentalist movements regard the secular state as an enemy because it claims to codify its power as if God did not exist. Those movements consider their religion the repository of absolute truth, the ultimate source legitimizing human laws. Therefore, although they are postsecular, at the same time they endeavor to transform religious principles into political agendas. Indeed, militants often act in accordance with political objectives in the attempt to assert the primacy of their own faith over that of others. They move within contemporary societies in the name of a radical political theology. The main arguments based on two case studies: Bodu Bala Sena in Sri Lanka and the movements for the Hindutva in India.

This paper presents and articulates three points that, taken together, suggest a reinterpretations of Durkheim’s concept of religion, allowing us to take the arguments of his late writings as a key ground to postsecular theories. The first point inserts the author in his historical environments, highlighting his commitment to the principle of laicité, part of the moral ideals of the Third Republic. The second point builds a narrative where the idea religion and its relationship with morality undergoes a transformation along his career. The thesis is that in The Elemental Forms of Religious Life (DURKHEIM, 1912) he presents a concept of religion fully compatible with the idea of post-secularization both as a diagnostic of the present times and as a normative horizon for late modernity. In the third and last point I take a stand in defending the idea of postsecular as the best way to encourage religious and axiological pluralism.

The present work aims to discuss the relationship between State and Religion in Brazil, taking as a guideline the discussion about the approval of Law nº 9.374 of march 11, 2015, which instituted the obligatory of the presence of the bible in schools in Florianópolis/SC, the law was elaborated by the councilman Jerônimo Alves (PRB), also known as Bishop Jerônimo Alves. I am interested here to understand the dispute over the concept of secularism, in which certain groups begin to seek to include their demands in the political agenda, so that, in my understanding, they do not seek with theses actions that they articulate, that passes through bills of laws like this, but also the institutionalization of new commemorative dates and the construction of monuments of religious character, but a semantic extension of the concept of laicity, which comes amid a process of Pentecostal expansion which goes beyond the numerical figures referring to those who claimed to be evangelicals, especially pentecostal evangelicals.

This study seeks to understand the process of production of law 13.155 / 2015, in order to identify the interests and groups that influenced the configuration of this legal framework. For that, an exploratory research was carried out, of qualitative character, being developed from the survey and documentary analysis. It was observed that: a) the central points of Provisional Measure nº 671/2015 were maintained by the parliamentarians; b) the norm deals with a liberalizing continuity of the football organization; c) the law is part of the set of actions of the State that aims to structure the clubs and the national football market; d) The movement of professional athletes Bom Senso Futebol Clube was the one that had their interests most taken care of and, on the other hand, the football administration entities were the groups that had the most failures during the process of the law in the National Congress.

Este artigo enfoca a questão da necessidade de se lançar “novos-olhares”, sob novas perspectivas, ao tema da imigração italiana em Santa Catarina, especialmente na região do Vale do Itajaí-Mirim. Discuto aqui as possibilidades de diálogo entre narrativa histórica, antropologia hermenêutica, fenomenologia, memória e história oral na abordagem do tema da questão.

The methodological procedures used for conducting this study were bibliographic and document review, specifically of analyses of studies about conditional income transfer programs in Latin America. It focuses on three countries in a comparative study: Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay. The article presents the theoretical and empiric basis of the references about the evaluation of social policies and programs and conducts an analysis that considers the attainment of the immediate objectives of the programs analyzed in relation to their strategic objectives. It presents and problematizes possible impacts of the programs considered, highlighting the results identified in relation to indicators of poverty and social inequality, education, healthcare, nutrition and labor.

This research shows an analysis of the strategies of didactic transposition adopted by authors of Brazilian theses and dissertations in the elaboration of didactic proposals of physics, guided by historical approaches. The research is divided into a general analysis of the set of all the didactic proposals selected and a detailed analysis of the didactic proposals that discuss conceptions about Nature of Science and that use Newton's Universal Gravitation as thematic. The didactic proposals were selected based on the reading of the titles, the abstracts and, when necessary, the summary and the presentation, in order to select the works that really interested the research. The analysis process was started from a thorough reading of the proposals and the analysis criteria were defined from the theoretical reference adopted (FORATO, 2009). The results show that the authors of the works analyzed adopted the strategy of interpreting the historical aspects emphasized in the excerpts from the primary sources that compose the proposals, in order to contribute to a diachronic understanding of the same. Furthermore, the episodes of the history of Universal Gravity, of the authors of the works, contributed to the conceptions about Nature of Nature to continue being didactic and approached throughout the application of the proposal.

In this article we will try to give a pale idea to the reader of what could be the Cosmic Microwave Background (RCFM) that, according to the traditional Big Bang model, was generated by a primordial explosion. With this purpose we find it very important to present a brief historical summary of how the Microcosm, based on the Standard Model of Elementary Particle Physics (MPPE), and the Macrocosm, based on the Standard Big Bang Model (MPBB), have evolved over time. In addition, in the final part of the article we will analyze the two physical processes presented in the literature that seek to explain the RCFM: Bariogenesis and Plasma Quark-Gluon.

This article is written in passing that look at infant researchers who play with a way of researching and a way of writing this: a written of research and a research of written. We open ourselves to poetry to do, to tell and to write research in mathematics education, seeking to weave a writing mode that offers more thoughts than foundations. Thoughts that in its beginning may be nothing, although it is only in this way that we are determined to write a research so-called academic.

The category and historical developments analyzed in this article help to analyze the changes and permanence of the exploitation of the gold mining workforce. Emphasis is on the export standard of productive specialization, through which the business of the Great Gold Mining in Colombia finds niches of reproduction of the private capital intensifying forms of exploitation of both nature and manpower. The aim of the article is to contextualize and understand the workforce disqualification and deepening exploitation that reproduces, in the 21st century, private modes of appropriation of finite assets of a collective nature. Some categories of the field of critical political economy proposed by Marx are analyzed in a socio-historical perspective, such as: exchange value and use value, necessary labor and surplus labor, absolute surplus value and relative surplus value, making a brief characterization of the patterns of reproduction of capital that emerged in Latin America between the years of 1930 and 2016.

This article aims to analyze the link between gender relations and capitalist production. The central idea is to explain that social production-reproduction in Capitalism necessarily generates, as a condition and result, social relations of class exploitation and gender oppression. In this sense, the need to understand gender, in its essence as a relationship of social production is highlighted. Similarly, different conceptions of gender are analyzed, highlighting some associated myths/fetishes. Subsequently, the different interrelationships established between capitalist relations of production and gender relations are analyzed from a more essential point of view; as well as its expression in the current stage of neoliberal globalization. The critique of Political Economy constitutes the methodological foundation of the analyzes developed throughout the article.

The present study is part of the project "Challenges of the teaching of Mathematics in the Engineering courses in the XXI” century, whose objective is to investigate and propose actions for the improvement of the transition High School - Engineering Teaching. The answers in a questionnaire containing 49 questions, given by 27 professors of the Department of Mathematics of a traditional college of Engineering of ABC Paulista, were analyzed. The sample collected represented 69% of the population of interest. The analysis of the data occurred through the statistical treatment and through Content Analysis. These analyses define five constructs pertinent to the teaching work. The results point to a relatively homogeneous opinion about the identified constructs. The small differences between the groups of teachers seem to be more associated to the pedagogical conceptions of each teacher, without indicating a characteristic group of teachers. There is strong adherence of teachers to the college culture. Thus, changes in pedagogical approaches must be attentive to institutional policies, since its corporate vision and its traditions overlaps with individual visions.

This essay is a narrative about a mathematics teacher in dealing with the task of researching in mathematics education, encountering his own identity tensions, dialoguing with himself and also with a Teacher, subject of his later master's research. The narrative exposes a critique of the research’s role, especially that whose object is the teacher`s practice and knowledge, establishing a relation between the role of theory in mathematics education and the work of mathematics teachers in the classroom. Thus, treating criticism also as a matter of its own constitution as teacher and researcher, the narrative mixes fiction and reality to show a way of dealing and being, regarding this false dichotomy between theory and practice in mathematics education.
