Otra calidad en la enseñanza es posible: alternativas a la educación globalizada desde los movimientos sociales

The aim of this study was to analyze the quality of services and the consequent intention of recommending the race of São João de Braga and the region of Braga, Portugal, as a tourist destination, by the participants. The sample consisted of 284 participants, using an instrument that has already been used in other studies of this same subject. To analyze the data and verify the relationship between the variables, multiple linear regression tests were performed. The main results evidenced the accreditation process and the participation kit as statistically significant predictors in the intentions of the race recommendation and the accreditation process and the surrounding landscape for the region's recommendation intentions. In conclusion, when assessing the quality of services, the accreditation process stands out, since it is a common predictor of the intentions of the event and the region

This research delineates an interface between literature, plagiarism, and retranslation – having Jorge Luis Borges’ (1979) idea of creative infidelity as main theoretical framework – based on my own principles and experience as a literary translator. More specifically, I use the software WCopyFind for comparing my retranslation of “An Inhabitant of Carcosa” (Bierce, 1886) into Brazilian Portuguese (2015) with both the original and João Reis’ previous translation into European Portuguese (2010) – bearing in mind that, before publishing my translation, I have also gone through the latter. Reflecting upon retranslation, translation, and literature, I get to the conclusion that no personal choice is devoid of external influences – especially in what regards the former. Variation is nonetheless inevitable, for texts are not formed only by words, but also by what surrounds them. The discursive strength of translation, therefore, resides in the troposphere of meaning, above what is written on the surface of a text.

Habitat destruction promoted by sand extraction from streambeds can cause the loss of some species and change the dynamics of fish assemblages. The present study investigated the effect of sand extraction on fish assemblages in campinarana streams in the region of Cruzeiro do Sul, Acre, between June 2017 and August 2018. Six streams were evaluated, including three degraded by sand extraction and three in forested areas. Richness, a Shannon diversity index, equitability and abundance of species were evaluated. To verify differences between these parameters, a Student’s t-test was conducted. NMDS and PERMANOVA were summarized to evaluate the composition of fish species. We collected 705 individuals distributed in 60 fish species. We found a significant difference between the areas regarding richness (t = 11.1, p = 0.0001), abundance (t = 4.5, p = 0.006) and diversity (t = 4.1, p = 0.01). The species composition also varied (Pseudo-F = 3.79, P = 0.01), since 35% of the species were restricted to preserved environments. Thus, it is suggested that the anthropic disturbance in the campinaranas caused the loss of the most sensitive and specialized species, which caused an increase in opportunistic individuals, altering the structure of the assemblages and reducing local diversity.

In this text, we present an analysis on the approach of the categories Democracy and Citizenship in Sociology textbooks approved by the PNLD 2015. From official documents and the six textbooks chosen by that program, we have selected concepts and categories used by Political Science, but only by that science. With a qualitative methodology, we identified how they were treated in the textbooks. The systematic reading of those books allowed us to compare the approaches given to each of the concepts and categories we choose in the textbooks. In that process, we analyzed, specially, the disciplines which were reference to the writers from the textbooks. The analysis about the courses which one of them took reveals that most of them is graduated in Social Sciences, what expresses one of the conditions for the textbooks to contain all the three areas.

In today’s world society, constitutional theories converge in assigning an emerging role to legal forms of regulation not bound by national political systems and authorities. Several approaches try to grasp the diversity and multiplicity of layers, levels and stake-holders which constitute the post-national constellation of regulatory structures. One of the most prominent of these approaches is the idea of a transnational constitutional pluralism. This piece presents theframework of a plurality of transnational constitutional structures as conceived by authors like Gunther Teubner, among others, to critically address the possibility of a global constitutionalization of law based on post-democratic structures in different domains of social regulation. In the end, the piece argues that, although pluralist approaches offer an useful description of current relations between law and power on the transnational level, there are functional limits to the constitutional claim emerging from the pluralist approaches. Such limits are, most importantly, pluralist approaches' incapability of offering democratic mechanisms of legitimization for decision-making processes.

This article presents the elaboration procedures as well as the evidences of factorial validity and trustworthiness of the Basic Psychological Needs Measurement Scale: Autonomy, Competence and Belonging (EMNPB). The EMNPB has 26 items, whose likert-type response scale, that aims to evaluate the satisfaction of the basic psychological needs of high school students in didactic activities carried out in physics classes. The EMNPB was applied to a sample of 451 high school students from state public schools in Santa Catarina. The following psychometric analyzes were carried out: factorial analysis, with extraction of the main factors; internal reliability analyzes, means and standard deviation of the items that make up the factors; and Pearson's correlation between the factors. The structure found is composed of three factors similar to the theoretical formulation: Autonomy (α = 0.82), Competence (α = 0.88) and Membership (α = 0.81). The results indicate satisfactory evidence of factorial validity and reliability of the scores and make the EMNPB suitable for use in investigations that focus on the study of the basic psychological needs of students in physics classes.

Viewed only as a means of protection and self-defense, the Brazilian Jiu-jitsu began to integrate different pedagogical materials related to Physical Education. However, its teaching-learning-training process has little theoretical foundation. In this perspective, the present research aims to reflect on the Internal Logic of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu interaction, under the lenses of the Motory Praxiology, in order to present its contributions to the teaching-learning-training process. For this, a bibliographic research was carried out, with an exploratory character, in order to understand the sociomotor logic of opposition and the praxical communications pertinent to this corporal practice, allowing the teacher new possibilities for his teaching.

The considerations and arguments of this article were developed based on the information printed in Diário de Notícias, a newspaper from Salvador, Bahia, in Brazil, which states that Agnes Blake Poor was the first North-American woman to translate Brazilian literature into English. Poor edited the anthology Pan-American Poems (1918) that brought a collection of Latin-American poems in English translation. Brazil is represented by Gonçalves Dias, Bruno Seabra, the Portuguese Francisco Manuel de Nascimento, and a gypsy folk-song. Using the theoretical and methodological tools from Descriptive Translation Studies, the objective of this article is to analyse the political and literary dimensions in which the anthology was published in the United States and compare the source and target poems to pinpoint the translational norms. The results show that the governmental translation project was aimed to foster Pan-Americanism and to unite the Americas during war time, which was key to determine the choice of the poems and the translation norms.

This paper seeks to point the epistemic aspects of obstetric violence. In order to do so, we will introduce the concept of epistemic injustice, as developed by Miranda Fricker, and how it has been used by the social epistemology literature to think about health issues. Subsequently, we will examine reports of cases of obstetric violence as well as a case of forced sterilization, by reviewing the Final Report of the CPMI on the incidence of mass sterilization of women in Brazil, as well as papers that describe cases of obstetric violence. Thus, we aim to point out that there is an epistemic aspect to such violations and that a change in the distribution of credibility may be relevant to confront obstetric violence.

The present article aims to analyse theoretical and artistic procedures in different moments of the artistic production of Wilton Azevedo. From the earliest years of his career, with his visual production, through sound experiments, such as the one realized with Catatau by Paulo Leminsky and the performances of Duo Pantharei. For this will be adopted the ideas of translation and baroque, with theorists as SARDUY and LOTMAN. The article shows the continuity of the artist's work in his ever present objective of working on intertextuality.

The development of sociology as a scientific discipline did not occur in any country in a vacuum. Depending on the intellectual environment in which it was promoted, sociologists had to affirm their initiatives within an ecosystem made up of a diverse set of cultural producers and disciplines. In Argentina, as in the rest of Latin America, the main opposition took place with the so-called “essayism”, a genre of significant prestige and intellectual gravitation, whose origins dated back to the first half of the 19th century. Based on a large empirical corpus (specialized publications, documents, mass magazines, interviews), this article seeks to reconstruct the different positions that sociologists assumed vis-a-vis essayism in the period from the mid-fifties to the mid-seventies, a lapse of time characterized by unprecedented institutional expansion and intense conflicts within the discipline.

The article highlights Heloísa Alberto (1895-1977)’s leading role in the field of science and culture in Brazil, in her role as an anthropologist and director of the National Museum, the guardian institution of the largest collections in Natural History and Anthropology. The analysis of its trajectory allows the reconstruction of the “social circles”, in their intersections and tensions, that enabled, in the Vargas Era, the formation of important Brazilian institutions committed to the construction of the national identity. In a special “structure of feelings” marked by positivism and the inherence between scientific progress and economic development, Heloísa Alberto Torres’s struggle reveals the appreciation of natural wealth and primary cultures as an outsdanding feature of the anthropological field in the early stages. The visibility of the scientist’s exceptional trajectory also seeks to do justice to those women who acted in public life, in positions of command, at a time when science was still an exclusively male domain. Finally, we conclude that the dynamics of social life and historical changes on the immobility of institutions are prevalent so that even in the most hostile scenarios it is possible to identify the emergencies that keep hope alive.

Bertrand Russell’s conception of philosophy evolved dramatically in 1911 — the year he fell in love with Lady Ottoline Morrell. For many years Russell had been an ardent advocate of the view that philosophers ought to look for truths that are certain. The co-author of Principia Mathematica altered his commitment to certainty in philosophy in 1911. An analysis of his published views and correspondence from this time strongly suggests that the radical transformation was induced by an epiphany brought about by his emotional entanglement with his lover.

The article presents reflections on the trajectory of the artist, professor and researcher Wilton Azevedo since his production in the graphic arts, where he explored the materiality of natural pigments and handmade papers, until his migration to digital technology, constituting a creative process that mainly valorized the search for languages. A pioneer in the search for new creative possibilities, he launched himself into cyberspace with a transformed self-image, letting poetry emerge in a new ambience that profoundly renewed the consolidated relations between image, text and sound. In dialogue with contemporary thinkers such as Manovich, Chartier and Flusser, some fundamental concepts are raised to understand Wilton Azevedo's work, such as expanded digital writing, digital poetry and other experiments, and the creation of Lhudi, Digital Humanities Laboratory, which pride the teacher-researcher. The self-portrait of the artist appears here as an invitation in homage, suggesting the deepening in the work of this great artist.
