This article attempts to develop a reflection about the relations between visual arts and music in the ambit of specifically historical periods, elaborating a comparative analysis from the renaissance and baroque arts and examining the relations between visual arts and Music inboth of these periods. The essential elements of the Baroque Style and of the Renaissance Style are considered in opposition in order to identify possible similarities existent between the pictorial and musical aspects of which one of these styles. In the methodological aspects, the initial part of the article dialogues with the conceptual system considered by Wöfflin for analysis of artistic styles. In the last part of the article, it is establish a dialogue with the Nietzsche’s Philosophy in the use of the concepts of apolinian and dionysiac

This article focuses on the experience of one of the major mass women´s movement during the Spanish Revolution, the anarchist and feminist organization “Free Women”. It considers Foucault´s concepts as well as feminist criticism relating to ethics and subjectivity as the main theoretical references. In the context of a revolutionary movement, that started in Spain in the thirties, the organization aimed at achieving feminine emancipation. It understood clearly the importance of creating new modes of subjectivation, in this highly conservative, religious and male country.

The text discusses the contribution brought by the feminist criticism to the scientific knowledge, as an increasing variety of ways of thinking can be observed. Science, guided by the production of scientific knowledge, presupposes neutrality, universalism and objectiveness, which goes beyond its “masculine” characteristics. The feminist criticism evidenced some limits imposed to the greater access of women to scientific careers. The text emphasizes how the notion of gender becomes significant, since it introduces other components in the scientific practices.

A famous puzzle called “Grandmother Paradox” is used to argue against the feasibility of traveling backward in time because of the logical and nomological problems such travel involves, and not only because we don’t have the technology to make it reality.  The same kind of problems would be encountered in leaping forward in time and then returning to the time of departure.  We argue that a similar family of problems also arise in our having foreknowledge of the future without making any time travel.  We point to the mysterious consequences of having access to a being, say a machine or a psychic, that can have infallible knowledge of the future and conveys this foreknowledge to human beings truthfully, without any lies or distortions.  The cause of these mysterious consequences is the fact that such machines or psychics will raise logical and nomological complications reminiscent of the ones we encounter in time travel scenarios, and that is a strong reason why infallible foretellers cannot exist.  We conclude that we can have foreknowledge of the future, in principle, only within certain narrow limits, if at all.

This article is framed into a political sociology of elites and looks into political entries in nowadays Argentina through the social, unionist and political trajectories of the Argentine national congressmen elected in 2009 who came from the agricultural entrepreneurs unions, known as “agrodiputados”. It achieves it from a qualitative perspective and using in-depth interviews and secondary sources. We show how these congressmen, who had been studied since their common features, are in fact a heterogeneous group where we can find three different profiles. We analyse their entrances into politics and the conversion of their resources into political capital. We show how coming “from outside” only counted as a resource at the beginning of their career. Then, professional politics logic prevailed.

This article presents an exploratory study about the use of the word “metacognition” in papers published in Science and Mathematics Teaching Brazilian journals of stratum A1 and A2 of CAPES, from 2007 to 2017. The corpus of the research was constituted of 430 papers that were analysed by the procedures of Content Analysis. Two interpretative movements were carried out: the first focused on the general intentionality of the article, exploring the contexts in which the word metacognition was used, systematized in six emerging categories: Learning Process; Metacognitive process; Teacher training; Evaluation Instrument; Learning Object and Learning Environment; the second focused on the meanings of the word metacognition presented in the articles, from which thirteen categories emerged: Metacognitive Process; Metacognitive strategy; Metacognitive Ability; Metacognitive Character; Metacognitive thinking; Learning; Metacognitive Knowledge; Teacher Metacognition; Self-regulation; Awareness raising; Metacognitive Competence; Metacognitive Model and Metacognitive Level. From these analyzes resulted what we call the „general diagram‟, which represents a synthesis of researches about metacognition published in Science and Mathematics Teaching Brazilian journals in the last 11 years.

In this paper I briefly describe some examples of observations I made, while involved in a health care research project, of situations faced by women. The purpose of the exercise was to emphasize the need for an interaction(dialogue)between knowledge, health care practice and feminism. I also discuss some aspects of the interaction(dialogue) between epistemology and feminism in the light of the work of Bachelard as opposed to the views of Dorothy Smith, Alison Jaggar, Susan Bordo, Gayle Rubin and Teresita de Barbieri. Lastly, I attempt a synthesis of what I consider to be the major epistemological ruptures promoted by feminism concerning mainly language and work.

This contribution focuses on the complex origin and publication history of the clandestine treatise Traité des trois imposteurs that put into motion the process of the radical Enlightenment. The treatise consists almost completely of a compilation of paraphrases and quotations of heterodox texts of the 17th century. A summary will be made of the most important source texts assembled in the collage. One of them is Vanini’s De Admirandis Naturae Reginae Deaeque Mortalium Arcanis from 1619 on which the analysis will focus. Two editions of the treatise are particularly important in this respect and will be looked at in detail: the first publication in print from 1719 under the title L’esprit de Spinosa (that can be seen as a translation in French) and the re-edition as Traité des trois imposteurs from 1768 probably made by D’Holbach (considered as a retranslation in French). The hypothesis developed of this contribution is that through the translation and the retranslation, step by step, a shift in meaning from Renaissance pantheism and the idea of natural religion to atheism and materialism took place. This hypothesis will be assessed by a precise comparative analysis of two excerpts of Dialogue 50 of De Admirandis, the French translation in L’Esprit de Spinosa and the French retranslation in the Traité des trois imposteurs. Finally, also the Italian translation of 1798 will be compared with the previous editions/translations.

“Entra, menino”, “Xô, galinha” e “Sim, senhor!”: entrevista com Heloneida Studart

The article discusses the problem of increasing the use of scientific grounds to the detriment of the legal ones in the decisions of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) as a practice of the technocratic models. In order to do so, it analyzes a complex conflict of constitutional jurisdiction over the regulation of the use of asbestos within the Brazilian federal structure that allows the identification of the limits and risks of this new posture increasingly common in Brazilian courts. This is the case of asbestos, a conflict involving Federal Law n. 9.095/95, which regulates the issue of the use of asbestos in Brazil and state laws that have prohibited the use of the mineral. The analysis will be made from ADI n. 3937/SP, which took ten years to be decided by the STF.

Kangni Alem’s new novel Les Enfants du Brésil (The Children ofBrazil) deals with forgotten aspects of the slave trade between Africa and Brazil.It is presented as a kind of archeological research in the Atlantic Ocean, anattempt to find out knowledge about the tragedy of slave trade, but the authoruses the metaphor of wrecked ships to shape his own artistic exploration ofpresent memories of slavery. Combining scientific and artistic exploration, herefers essentially to contemporary situations in Brazil and Togo, actualizing thedepiction of slave memory and showing new ways of writing about its impactson everyday life in Africa. I’m analyzing Kangni Alem’s novel to show that itis not just a discursive enterprise. In fact, the author makes use of words andmetaphors to grasp a very specific reality of Togolese history and society. Todeconstruct his message it seems appropriate to use a relevant methodologicalapproach like Michel Foucault’s archeological theory. This allows to discoverthe author’s discourse on Brazil as a discourse on Africa.

In the past, exchanges between Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America were reduced to Atlantic slave trade. Sub-Saharan Africa supplied slaves for plantations in Latin America. The abolition of slavery, the presence of Afro-descendants, the independence of Latin American and African countries changed the relations between the two regions of the world. For historic and linguistic reasons, Equatorial Guinea is a link between Africa, Iberian Peninsula and Latin America. In 1984, the international Hispanic and African Congress of Culture took place in Bata. In 2013, Malabo hosted the third Africa and South America Summit. During the same period, Equatorial Guinea joined Portuguese speaking countries community. In 2011, the country adopted Portuguese as its third official language. In 2014, Equatorial Guinea became full member of Portuguese speaking countries organization. This article analyses origins and impact of the international Hispanic and African Congress of Culture of 1984. Then, it studies issues and perspectives of Africa and South America Summit of 2013. To that end, it relies on archive documents, interviews and political speeches.

Uma escritora feminista: fragmentos de uma vida

In this article, we discuss the archaeological phase of our research into retranslating in the Finnish literary system. We address the issue from the point of view of the past and future development on retranslation research, focusing on methodology. We argue that for our understanding of the phenomenon to advance, the traditional case study orientation of retranslation research needs to be complemented with other, macro level approaches. We discuss what kinds of research questions our archaeological data allowed us to generate, how collecting bibliographical information of a larger set of translations allowed us to place individual case studies within the bigger picture, and how it allowed us to compare our findings to similar, macro level research done by other scholars. The next step for retranslation research will, we believe, consist of studies asking new questions on the basis of such macro level empirical evidence (tested on new, targeted data sets or case studies) and comparisons between these studies completed in different cultural, historical and literary contexts.

This work examines the teaching of sociology in Uruguay bringing some purchasing elements with Brazil, which will be done considering both the peculiarities in terms of educational systems in both countries, as well as, and especially, the evaluations carried out by sociology teachers. Methodologically the work is based on semi-structured interviews conducted in Montevideo, with emphasis on the trajectories of the agents and their incorporated social dispositions. It is observed that the Uruguayan teachers consolidate a teaching identity still in its initial formation, however, there is an evident generational cut among those who carried out the training before and after 2008. It was also found as a characteristic a strong “antimanualist” position of Uruguayan sociology teachers, reinforced by the tendency to combine different teaching methodologies in their practices.

This article presents some results from a Master's research on the performance of children with signs of Developmental Dyscalculia, using as one of the instruments for the evaluation, the Transcoding Test. The objective is to analyze the repotencialization of mathematical abilities related to numerical transcoding - TN, after the period of psychopedagogical interventions. The research took place in two moments: the evaluation of 13 children aged 9 to 12 years and reassessment of the children, after the period of 10 sessions of interventions. To analyze the results obtained, we followed the indicated in the literature of the test and the Student's t-Test was performed. From the numerical results, graphs and tables were constructed with the aim of illustrating the variations in the performance in relation to the abilities of each one of the children. After the analysis of the post-test, it was verified that, in general, the children presented improvements.
