This research seeks to understand the Sports Promotion Policies of Promotion of Nautical Sports formulated by six Municipalities of the Metropolitan Area of Lisbon with direct relation to natural water plans that share borders. Methodologically we used a qualitative and interpretative approach. The analysis model included indicators of structural, financial, strategic and inter-municipal nature. These municipalities include Thirteen Natural Spaces and Thirty-Six Beaches where it is possible to practice Nautical Sports, being planned the construction of two Nautical Sports Centers. It was concluded that all the municipalities analyzed have a Municipal Policy for the Promotion of the Practice of Nautical Sports that includes structural, educational and sporting measures.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the dynamics of prison work at the Recife Detention House during the 19th century. Using various primary sources, we seek to move beyond the rhetoric of prison managers and prison regulations and to emphasize some aspects of prison work such as the possibility for detainees to move outside the perimeter of prison institutions when performing some of their labor activities. Not infrequently, this mode of work gave prisoners a less isolated experience than was supposed and allowed for an experience of “parcel freedom”. The observation of prisoners in their wanderings through the city allows us to scale the flows that crossed and interconnected the Recife society and the universe of incarceration and underline the countless implications of this contiguity for prison daily life. Regarding the chronological clipping, our observation is limited to the management of Rufino de Almeida (1861-1875).

On May 29, the centenary of the 1919 eclipse is celebrated, which would have “proved” (or confirmed) the General Theory of Relativity “created” by Albert Einstein in 1915. This very common phrase presents several conceptual problems, among them the idea of what theories can be proved and which have creators; and that the eclipse data was sufficient to confirm General Relativity. After a hundred years of the eclipse, there are still many myths surrounding the Theory of Relativity and the figure of Albert Einstein. In this article we present five myths about the theory of special relativity, three myths about general relativity and four myths about Einstein, which are constant in textbooks, specialized books, newspapers and works of popularization of science. To deconstruct each myth, we make a historical and conceptual presentation, which reflects a rigorous examination of research in primary and secondary literature. The objective of the work is not to minimize Einstein's contribution to relativity, but to deconstruct the myth produced over the scientist Albert Einstein and present the historical Einstein and his scientific positions, as well as discuss how the construction of the theory of relativity and its consequences occurred, as the Black Holes and Gravitational Waves program. We also showed that Relativity was not the only consistent theory and did not solve all the known problems of its time, just as its acceptance was not immediate, nor was it due to any crucial experiment (experimentum crucis).

Nancy Fraser é uma filósofa norte-americana, professora de Filosofia e Política da New School for Social Research em Nova Iorque. Considerada um dos nomes mais importas da teoria crítica e do pensamento político feminista, a trajetória de Nancy Fraser é caracterizada por um diálogo contínuo com alguns dos  mais destacados pensadores políticos do século XX, entre eles Jurgen Habermas, Iris Young, Seyla Benhabib, Richard Rorty, Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida, Drucilla Cornell, Judith Butler, Axel Honneth e Rahel Jaeggi. Outro traço marcante de sua longeva e profícua carreira é a centralidade da Teoria Crítica e de seu firme posicionamento a favor da construção de alternativas ao capitalismo. Em várias momentos de sua carreira, Nancy Fraser trouxe a teoria crítica para dialogar com as questões mais do período. Por essa razão em alguns momenntos o feminismo socialista veio para o primeiro plano, depois a teoria da justiça e sua análise da dimensão normativa da teoria social crítica, o mesmo ocorreu em sua análise sobre a relação entre redistribuição, reconhecido e representação, a proposição de estratégias políticas para mitigar formas de exclusão. Mais recentemente Fraser tem se dedicado a luta em defesa do meio ambiente e contra a expansão predatória do capitalismo financeirizado sobre as dimensões políticas e sociais do tempo presente, o que, em última instância, fomenta a deterioração progressiva da democracia. Nos encontramos com Nancy Fraser em 2017, quando a filósofa completava 70 anos, a maior parte desse tempo dedicada ao desenvolvimento de uma teoria crítica capaz de responder às questões sociais e políticas mais urgentes de seu tempo. Nesta entrevista, a autora nos fala sobre os principais elementos dessa teoria, a trajetória que a levou à academia, a importância do diálogo acadêmico e o seu atual projeto de investigação sobre a crise que vivemos.

This text indicates essential elements needed for an analysis of direct democracy, materialized in processes of decentralization and civil society participation in spaces for deliberating public policies, in a context of reform of these policies in the 1990’s. It analyzes the national Policy for the Elderly and the experiences of elderly rights councils. It concludes that despite the fact that spaces for participation are contradictory and the orientations of participation of the various subjects are in conflict, the correlation of forces favorable to conservative forces, redirect social policies, giving them a new rationality and new legitimacy that distribute responsibilities to civil society. These changes reinforce a culture of privation in light of the clashes of the refractions of the social issue and transmute popular participation into consent and legitimization of the given order.

In this paper we investigated how L1 word stress affects L2 word naming for cognates and non-cognates in two lexical stress languages, Brazilian Portuguese (BP, L1) and American English (AE, L2). In Experiment 1,  BP-AE bilinguals named a mixed list of disyllabic moderate frequency words in L1 (Portuguese) and L2 (English). In Experiment 2, Portuguese-English bilinguals named English (L2) disyllabic target words presented simultaneously with auditory Portuguese (L1) disyllabic primes. It is concluded that word stress has a task-dependent role to play in bilingual word naming and must be incorporated in bilingual models of lexical production and lexical perception and reading aloud models.

This article analyzes the characteristics of a collective identity that emerged among part of the civilians recruited for the Brazilian Expeditionary Force (BEF) and some of their agency attempts during the Italian campaign. The new practices experienced within this collective were very different from the practices adopted in the Brazilian Army. In episodes of indiscipline or in the use of collectively constructed instruments, such as the trench newspaper – E a Cobra Fumou! – we seek to highlight the protagonism of the febianos in relation to the command, composed of career soldiers of the Brazilian Army.

The Aim of this study was analyze the academic productions about migratory flow in the sports. The foundation was build based on PRISMA model: identification of the Works in the data basis Scielo, Pubmed, Lilacs, Google scholar and Brazilian Portal of History; realization of the exploratory reading to select; elegibility through the analytical Reading; and inclusion the texts in the qualitative analysis. The results points the work of sportive migration are ruled by Marxist vision. Others factors: language patterns; sportive level at the destiny country and, number of countryman players. We concluded, beyond sociocultural analysis, few works search the relation of performance and migration. We believe that studies about this relation can be enlighten other questions.

This interview presents a summary of three interviews with Myra Bergman Ramos, the North-american “accidental translator” who translated the 1968 manuscript of Pedagogia do Oprimido from Portuguese into English. Pedagogy of the Oppressed was published in New York in 1970 and its great success made the publication of the Pedagogia do Oprimido possible in Brazil, in 1974, in Portuguese. From two structured interviews via e-mail and one semistructured tele-interview, several questions about the translation, the translator and the act of translating were raised with the aim of contributing to the Translation Studies subfield called Sociology of Translation which focuses on Translator Studies (Chesterman, 2014).

This article discusses the results of a study of children’s and adolescent’s perceptions and experiences with participation, citizenship, rights and responsibilities. The study was conducted in public and private schools in the city of Rio de Janeiro and with children and adolescents living on the streets and from the Landless Farmers Movement (MST). The study addressed questions related to social, economic and political issues as well as perception of gender in relation to rights and participation. The study demonstrated that children and adolescents have a broad notion of their participation and of other concepts. It also reveals that they are aware that their rights are frequently ignored and violated. This study is part of an international study conducted in parallel in six countries with the same themes and methodology.

From Svetlana Aleksiévitch’s work, Last witnesses, this paper analyzes the tension between the translatable and the untranslatable testimonies of European East's Second World War’s survivors, considering three elements of untranslatability: the excess of the real, the lack of the word and the pseudo-witnesses.

The beginning of football competition shapes one of the learning environments on youth sports, therefore, the children need to be properly organized to their own characteristics and possibilities. The aim of this theoretical framework is to demonstrate possibilities to the competition initiation, based on the structure, norms and game functionality and reflect concerning the competitive environment. We propose that the organization of the structural and functional elements of the soccer game in early phases should be realized from the understanding of the players' level, mainly regarding the structuring of space, communication in action, and ball-player relationship. The relationships between players, coaches, referees and the family must provide positive interactions, establishing a safe environment for the youth players. Therefore, competition initiation in football must be thought and designed to aid the children' development, setting up a safe learning environment.

The article applies the Emprical-Rethorical Discourse Analysis method (AERD), (REIS, 2013) in the verdict around the case of Raposa Serra do Sol Indigenous Land, aiming to show the construction of the indigenous fact concept to replace the indiginate as an argumentative process corrupted and stereotyped interpretation of Supreme Federal Court about the Indigenous Peoples’ reality. It is stated, in hypothesis, the misconception of the use of “timeframe” authorizing the suppression and reduction of the land which was already demarcated, including by the Second Class of STF or by Union General Advocacy (AGU) causing instability and enlargement of violence against Indigenous Peoples on their native lands.

A habilidade de elaboração do gênero exposição oral é imprescindível na esfera acadêmica, porém, existem poucas oportunidades para seu aperfeiçoamento nos cursos de química. Neste trabalho temos como objetivo analisar a elaboração de exposições orais baseadas em artigo original de pesquisa (texto-base), por parte de graduandos dessa área. Para tanto, as operações de retextualização colocadas em funcionamento foram investigadas, tendo em vista o oferecimento de subsídios para a reflexão acerca das facilidades e dificuldades na utilização das mesmas. Os resultados apontaram que houve facilidade no uso de seis operações de retextualização, com destaque para as de acréscimo de nova informação e retomada. Já as dificuldades se relacionaram a três operações de retextualização, com destaque para a de construção de opinião própria. Atividades como as descritas neste trabalho são imprescindíveis no ensino superior, pois favorecem o desenvolvimento de habilidades necessárias à elaboração do gênero exposição oral por parte dos estudantes.

The training of two foreign languages (usually English and another foreign language) by the Chinese universities can date back to the 1980s (Sun, 2015:91). Nevertheless, there are still some parts which need to be improved, such as the lack of adequate materials, and the insufficiency of disciplines linking knowledge of two foreign languages, for example, the disciplines on comparison, contrast and possible translation between the two foreign languages. Without such disciplines, students can only study the two languages separately, which not only increases the student's task, but also is not conducive to activating the positive transfer (Wang, 2012; Li, 2012) of English knowledge in learning a second foreign language. In addition to presenting and discussing the training of two foreign languages by the Chinese institutions, in this work, we also want to propose an English - Portuguese translation discipline for Chinese bachelor students of Portuguese. In support of this, our considerations are based on the discussion of training of two foreign languages.

This article analyzes Physical Education in the Common National Curriculum Base of High School, from the understanding of the conceptions and perspectives, sent by the document to the field of Physical Education. Methodologically, it uses a critical approach, as well as bibliographic and documentary research, whose data were supported by content analysis. Notes that the "new high school" is linked to other reforms, which in its entirety subjugate this stage of basic education to the labor market, in the capitalist logic. Perspective is a minimal high school, diluted and pragmatic and, conceptually impoverished, because it is based on the fragmentation of knowledge. It concludes that physical education in the Common National Curriculum Base of High School is conceptually translated, as a medium activity, from a literary perspective to the market. 

This article provides an overview of eye tracking studies on subtitling (also known as captioning), and makes recommendations for future cognitive research in the field of audiovisual translation (AVT). We find that most studies in the field that have been conducted to date fail to address the actual processing of verbal information contained in subtitles, and rather focus on the impact of subtitles on viewing behaviour. We also show how eye tracking can be utilized to measure not only the reading of subtitles, but also the impact of stylistic elements such as language usage and technical issues such as the presence of subtitles during shot changes on the cognitive processing of the audiovisual text as a whole. We support our overview with empirical evidence from various eye tracking studies conducted on a number of languages, language combinations, viewing contexts as well as different types of viewers/readers, such as hearing, hard of hearing and Deaf people.

As the Translation Studies have solidly risen to scientific status in the last decades, a great interest is growing toward the pedagogical practices, syllabi and bibliographies for the teaching of translators. The book Teaching Translation: Programs, Courses, Pedagogies, organized by Lawrence Venuti, aims at presenting the state-of-the-art programs in the area by describing courses and disciplines in some of the most notable American, Canadian, English, and Spanish institutions, and also by detailing the requirements for students application in such courses as well as the final papers and theses. Furthermore, the book presents several articles which focus on teaching literary translation, technical translation, post-colonial translation, theatrical translation, among others. Moreover, as if that alone will not suffice to satisfy the reader’s needs, the final part of the book brings detailed analysis not only of the main pedagogical approaches for the formation of translators but also of the handbooks, encyclopedias and other books in the subject which were released in the last twenty years. The best feature of this book is the broad view it provides for teachers, students, and scholars in the field, who are interested in learning how translation is being taught in praxis, even though the same information is lacking when it comes to countries out of the axis chosen by Venuti.

The main objective this article is to analyze the railroad workers strikes of the State of Bahia South-western Railway Co. Ltd.in 1927. The railroad workers strikes were one of the principal worker’s campaign in South Bahia during First Republic, with mobilization much working-class associations of Ilhéus and Itabuna city around of the activities and the schedule “in defense of sacred interests”. Of pacific way and acting inside of the oligarchic Politic, the railroad workers turn up popularity strikes, so that press over mayor, parliamentarians and patronal associations, and use themselves of the Brazilian nationalism against the English chiefs of the railway company. This article was writing from newspaper, institutionals reports and correspondence researched at archives from Bahia and Rio de Janeiro.

Based on the premise that teaching is a political act and that it is thus necessary to engage additional language students in the process of both linguistic and critical development (Crookes, 2013), this study aims at investigating the role of the teacher during the implementation of a cycle of tasks designed from the perspectives of the Task-based Approach (Ellis, 2003) and of Critical Pedagogy (Freire, 1996). According to Breen (2009), a task can be understood as a workplan which is modified and reinterpreted during its implementation. Samuda (2009) argues that one of the central roles of the teacher in task-based language teaching is to guide students in language processing so as to cater for linguistic development. In this sense, it is important to investigate the task as a process, that is, the strategies adopted by the teacher while implementing the task as a workplan. In order to do so, this study focuses on the reflexive diaries of the teacher-researcher, in which he describes and reflects upon the implementation of a critical cycle of tasks designed for a group of high school students in a Brazilian context. From the thematic analysis of the diaries, the theme ‘strategies’ could be identified, which demonstrates decisions that were taken by the teacher-researcher during implementation so as to: a) guarantee that the critical objective of the task would be met, b) guide the students’ attention to a specific topic (such as focus on form or the critical topic at hand), c) overcome technical and material difficulties and d) facilitate students’ learning process. The complexity involved in the implementation process of tasks designed from a critical perspective suggests the need for teachers to develop their critical reflexive skills in order to be able to make decisions that will be adequate for each specific educational context.
