An analysis of the 2017 retranslation into Brazilian Portuguese of a poem by Wallace Stevens originally translated in 1987, with a detailed contrastive study of the two versions of the poem’s last line, which had been inadequately translated in 1987.

This paper aims to analyze the history behind the three Brazilian translations of James Joyce’s Ulysses, trying to consider how each translation helped to set up the conditions for the production of another, and may even define the need for this future retranslation, which by its turn will react to that first work, filling a cultural blank space previously created only by the existence and the specific characteristics of the work that came before. In this way, we attempt to provide some clarification for the apparent abundance of Portuguese language translations of Joyce’s seminal novel. 

This article aims to analyze the Case Alyne Pimentel v. Brazil, judged by the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW Committee, 49th section July/2011), by highlight its main legal contributions to the issue of gender violence against women. We particularly emphasize the contributions of the Decision to further developing the legal understanding on the effects of racial discrimination on gender violence and reproductive health of colored poor peripheral women.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the contamination by Escherichia coli in irrigation water and parasites in leafy vegetables cultivated in small organic horticultural properties and to investigate the critical points during cultivation. The study was carried out between July 2014 and May 2016 in 21 horticultural properties in the state of Paraná, Brazil. Two samples of leafy vegetables and one sample of irrigation water were collected per property. Water samples were analyzed by the chromogenic substrate technique to evaluate contamination by total coliforms and Escherichia coli, and the vegetables were evaluated by the techniques of Willis (1921), Hoffman et al. (1934) and Faust et al. (1939) for parasite contamination. The presence of E. coli was observed in 80.95% (17/21) of the water samples; with respect to vegetables, 45.23% (19/42) contained at least one parasite species, such as: hookworms, Chilomatix spp., Dipyllidium spp., Entamoeba spp., Strongyloides spp., Trichuris spp., nematode larva, non-sporulated oocyst. There was a statistical association between the fate of the sewage (dry sewage) and the positivity to the parasites. The data show fecal contamination in a significant number of samples and confirm the need for greater sanitary requirements during the cultivation of leafy vegetables, which are mostly consumed raw.

Social Work: Gender, Race/Ethnicity, Generations and Sexuality

In 1969, Dino Buzzati published his Poema a fumetti, a sui generis book, whose nature lies mid-way between the illustrated poems and comic strips genres, and in which the artist provides us with a updated myth of Orpheus that has been altered by the sixties (1960s)’ contemporaneousness. Two French language translations of Poema a fumetti will consecutively be written: the first one was performed by Max Gallo and Antoine Ottavi and was published a year only after the publication of the original Italian language book at Laffont. It was entitled Poème-bulles (1970). Another translation was thereafter done by Charlotte Lataillade and published by Actes Sud, and was entitled Orfi aux enfers (2007). The analysis of the retranslation highlights the translator’s will to elucidate and/or update the original publication, thus leading to fading away Buzzati’s set of references pertaining to a precise ideological context, that of the sixties, which were characterized by contestation, disobedience, the start of sexual liberation, and secularization that then hit hard Italian society.

The article focus on the so called “global labor history”, discussing its topics of research, and spaces of production (institutional, academic and other). The article’s goal is to address how the current, and renewed, interest on comparisons, connections, and processes of entanglement/aggregation in history could inspire the Brazilian historical debate on the social history of labor, and to discuss in which ways the Brazilian scholarship could ind a place in these new research trends.

This is the translation of the Funeral eulogy that Charles Asselineau delivered at the burial of Baudelaire, published in L'Étendard, on Wednesday, 4 September 1867, p. 3. Asselineau, after Banville's speech, speaks of the personality and illness of his friend Baudelaire, but also of the legend that was created about him and which he himself fed as a form of contempt against the imbecility of his detractors.

Maria Olga Mattar was a professor of sociology at UFPR (1951-1981), PUCPR (1955-2006) and at the Colégio Estadual do Paraná (1952-1981). Still in the 1970’s, she made two textbooks for her classes. Edited in the book Organização e Contexto Social: para entender sociologia (1998), they were an introduction to the epistemology of the social sciences. This paper analyzes this book, including its confection and content in interface to the intellectual trajectory of Mattar. Aligned with Durkheim’s lineage, Mattar's sociology was a descriptive and comparative science of human groupings, whose objects par excellence was social organization and context. A distinctive trait of manuals is their personal syntheses about sociological theories, mobilized as a didactic resource and scientific unity.

The proposal of this work is to present some considerations about a preliminary survey of the content on gender, present in the textbook "Sociology for Young People of the XXI Century", by Luiz Fernandes de Oliveira and Ricardo Cesar Rocha da Costa, in the light of the perspectives of black feminism and decolonial. For that, the reflections of Maria Lugones, Magdalene Ang-Lygate, Djamila Ribeiro, Ochy Curiel and Chandra Mohanty will be taken here as main references. In general, thinking about the dynamics of (re)distribution of power within a school curriculum, through what and how certain contents are present or not, mobilized the exercise proposed here. In a context marked by a notorious incidence of the discussion on gender, inside and outside the academy, combined with strong reactions contrary to the approach of the themes that this concept mobilizes, the considerations that are presented seek to signal the preponderance, in the current conjuncture, of thinking critically gender, demarcating its epistemological role in school sociology.

This research aimed to investigate in an exploratory way some experiments on the implementation process of Laws 10.639/03 and 11.645/08, which have on the mandatory teaching of “Afro-Brazilian and Indigenous History and Culture” in the curriculum of Basic Education. The survey was carried out in 96 schools of the federal, state, municipal and private education networks. In This sense, the research sought to identify by means of interviews, as has been the experience of implementing these laws in different educational establishments and how these contents are addressed in schools by directors, pedagogical counselors, Teachers and the school community, based on the mandatory implementation of the law. It is Considered that this is a relevant contribution, as it investigated the application of the law in its praxis, through interviews with different agents in the school environment about the breadth and complexity of the implementation of Laws 10.639/03 and 11.654/ 08.

This work focuses on the relations between scholar paths and professional destinations in brazilian social sciences. This is a first exploration of a database composed by a set of professors that are part of graduated programs in anthropology and archeology, political science and internacional relations and sociology. The main hypothesis that order this research is that the distinct modes of scholar paths connect themselves to the hierarchies of the destinations’courses and institutions. The goal is to size the way in which the structure of the graduate courses distinguish modalities of scholar investments and impact in the teacher’s body profile. To do that, an multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) was conducted taking the origin’s scholar institution, the foundation date of the courses, the evaluation concepts and the arrival point in terms of professional bond. The results indicate that the conexions between origin’s and destination’s institution are dependent on the relations between center and periphery on national and international level, impacting in distinct modes in the chances of access at the careers and the affirmation in the field of social sciences.

This article analyzes the textbook "Notions of Sociology" by Francisca Peeters, written in the 1930s. It is a textbook for the teaching of sociology in the Normal School, characterized by the Catholic conception of sociology. The study investigates the civilizational project of the textbook, based on a proposal based on Pierre Bourdieu' relational perspective and the textbook analysis in order to understand the educational settings in this period. The results show the dispute between Catholic intellectuals and renewers that generated different teaching projects for sociology, visible in the textbook, based on its explanatory dynamics of the world, combative of social theories in vogue, and prescriptive institution of truth based on Catholic Christianity.

This article pursues two objectives: a) to offer a theoretical / methodological reflection of the curriculum and textbooks from a discursive perspective; b) to carry out an exercise in the application of this theoretical reference in the discourse analysis of some didactic manuals of Sociology approved by PNLD 2018. The following books are analyzed: Modern Times, Times of Sociology; Sociology for Young People of the 21st Century; Sociology Today and Sociology. From a poststructuralist perspective, curriculum and textbooks are conceived as discursive practices, objects that intersect in an incessant production process of discourses, identities, subjects. The article identifies, in the manuals analyzed, the presence of a discursive formation (sociological imagination) which challenges the subject in the sense of assigning to him a certain place in the symbolic world, besides identifying the social, historical and political affiliations of this formation, situating it in a more general project of production of the subjects' political subjectivity.

What does explain the resurgence of new relevant political parties in Brazil? How is it related to the institutionalization of party system or the structure of electoral competition? We address this issue through the of analysis of PSD (Partido Social Democrata). We expose its historical formation process, highlighting actors, strategies and conjunctures; we analyze the legislative behavior of deputies that have moved to PSD in Lower Chamber and we explore its electoral performance in 2012 and 2014, stressing the PSD strategic entry and its local electoral bases. We argue that both the federal and local structure party competition are connected to the formation and strength of PSD. Furthermore, we argue that some decisions of Judiciary Branch related to electoral and party legislation, a variable that is not included in comparative theories of new relevant party formation, are also central to this phenomenon.

In the present article, content analyzes of three manuals of Educational Sociology published in the 1940s in Brazil. It was sought, also observing its context of production, to understand: i) the target public; ii) manual structures; iii) didactic concerns; iv) contents and; v) epistemological basis. It was identified that although its structures and contents approach, its theoretical bases are distanced, passing through American, French and Brazilian scientific perspectives, besides influences of Catholic Sociology. The analyzed textbooks can be classified as "school manuals" because they present didactic content transmission strategies.
