This study analyzes the construction of the gender identity among adolescent girls, based on their performative dimension. The ethnographic research was carried out in a public school of Middle School, in Salvador, Brazil. The discursive construction of differences, similarities and inequalities between categories of girl is one of the ways in which gender is being (re)constructed and negotiated in everyday interactions. From the background the moral regulation exercised by the peers, it is exposed how each subject positions assimilates, contests and resignifies behaviors and characteristics socially agreed as feminine and masculine. In a continuum of conformities and subversions, “normal”, “forward” and “evolved” exhibit traces of cultural permanence and change, evidencing the markedly contradictory heterogeneity of the constitution of generalized identities.

This research explored the construction process of the scientific concept of force among pupils at High School, who were engaged in a didactic sequence organized according to the five phases of Kellyan Cycle of experience: Anticipation, Investment, Encounter, Confirmation or Disconfirmation and Constructive Revision. It also intended to identify conceptions of force applied to everyday life situations. The results of this research showed that pupils, during the Anticipation phase, possessed intuitive conceptions as well as difficulties in differentiating the concepts of orientation and direction of a force. The activities developed during the Cycle aroused pupils´ attention, impelling them to develop hypotheses, to reflect and to establish relationships between experienced situations and the theme under study. This enabled the evolution of their concepts.

We questioned the traditional practice of Physics teaching interrogating the normal procedures of solving-problem. We pointed the students passivity out, the lack of dialog interaction, the teaching-learning activity isolated from investigation, as responsible for the technological-communication non-mediation in classroom and, consequently, the lack of the problem-dialog in school process. Oriented by the investigation-action conceptions and by the problem-dialog education, we developed, established and evaluated an school object for solving-problem linked in to a teaching-learning virtual environment for the Internet, both with open sources, prioritizing empowered didactic strategies of procedures and abilities which we named as teachinginvestigation- learning in a problem perspective

This paper presents the proposal of the Science Center of the Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU), the DICA Diversão com Ciência e Arte (Entertainment with Science and Art), and a qualitative research on the perceptions of the university professors of the Physics and Biology Institutes of the UFU in relation to the scientific divulgation, the space that is being established as a Science Center and their interest in participating of the DICA actions. The professor s statement evidences that the most of them are interested in acting in the Center developing scientific divulgation activities related to their own scientific researches. However, only one interviewed researcher wanted to develop researches on Science Education linked to the Science Center.

The discipline of physics being considered one of the most difficult in relation to student understanding is not new in educational research. This difficulty is amplified when Modern Physics enters the scene, due to its high degree of abstraction. Relating Art to Physics is a good alternative to this problem. With the intention of understanding more about the connection between Arts and Physics, we carried out a bibliographical research in order to verify how they can relate in the teaching of Modern Physics, noting that, in most cases, Art is used as a facilitating tool in the teaching of the concepts present in Modern Physics.

This paper aims to present the legal treatment given to extradition in Fascist Italy and in the Brazil of Getúlio Vargas to understand if the institute has suffered authoritarian torsions both on the field of domestic Law and on the diplomatic relations between these countries. On the Codice Rocco, the provision on extradition was meant to strengthen the repression. On its turn, if on one side the 1938 Brazilian Extradition Act relies on the elements of the institute created in the nineteenth century, it also adds important elements to the defence of a strong State. However, the Italian-Brazilian extradition treaty of 1932 attached to the liberal paradigm ended up protecting the individuals subjected to extradition. Thus, were these rules truly of a fascist origin? The hypothesis is to realize that the “Fascism Criminal Law” is not quite a revolution, since despite introducing major changes it cohabits with the liberal tradition of Criminal Law. 

The paper aims to identify the maincharacteristics of the principle of legality duringthe modernity, focusing especially on thedevelopments of continental Europe during the19th century. The author individualizes threemain steps: legality-power, legality-guarantee andlegality-system. The first one happens during theFrench Revolution. The second one spans over theperiod from right after that until mid-nineteenthcentury. The third period starts on mid-nineteenthcentury and goes until the beginning of the 20thcentury. It should be stressed that the differentsteps overlap themselves and leave traces onthe definition of administrative law. Finally, theauthor describes the 20th century, marked by theconstitutionalization of the administration and thereview of the law itself, and the contemporarylegality, marked by stronger demands that gobeyond the simple conformity to the statutory lawto reach the very justification of the administrativeacts.

This qualitative research study, which involved interviews with black women victims of domestic violence, was aimed at verifying if there were any inscriptions of the ideal of whiteness introjected in their subjectivities and at evaluating the contexts in which racism and domestic violence appear in their lives. The importance of this type of study is in highlighting the existence of the myth of racial democracy in Brazil, in its perverse face, by showing how the ego ideal of whiteness is propagated unconsciously through ideology as a way of subjugating the black racial-ethnic group to the dominant one. The study emphasizes the high rate of domestic violence against black women and the urgency of public policies for the prevention of these crimes and the protection of the victims.

How do historians become historians? Some might say that all it takes is dedication to the profession and a talent for reading archival sources. But the reality of the profession is rather more complex. Eric Hobsbawm - one of the most famous historians of the twentieth-century - is a perfect example of this. His journey from a bright doctoral student to a global household name was not inevitable; instead, it involved a complex web of friendships and contacts that enabled him to speak knowledgeably to (and about) a huge range of audiences. In this article,I explore one of the most important aspects of his historical apprenticeship: his membership of the Communist Party Historians Group. This became one of the pre-eminent forums for the development of Hobsbawm’s ideas in the 1940s and 50s - and, through the richness of its discussions, left a lasting impression on Marxist historiography. Historians of the world unite! Eric Hobsbawm and the Communist Party Historians Group, 1946-1956

This article uses the Marxist theoretical-methodological framework to propose critical elements to the dynamics of the operation of pension funds in Brazil. This study consisted of a literature review and the use of empirical data. The text is divided into two sections, the first provides an overview of the role of such funds in central and peripheral countries, with a view to their structural place in the capitalist context of globalization, structural crisis, and neoliberal offensive. The second section presents the structuring steps that provided the material basis for the expansion of pension fund assets in the country, with emphasis on funds intended for civil servants. The article reveals the massive financial power of these funds and suggests the validity of the hypothesis that they are designed to serve the financial markets, to the detriment of social security protection.

Cloud chambers are interesting experiments where traces produced by subatomic particles are evidenced. In the diffusion version for educational and demonstrative purposes, the necessary cooling of the chamber has been popularly established with the practice of dry ice, liquid nitrogen or thermoelectric devices (Peltier pellets). This work suggests a differentiated proposal of construction that has relatively low cost and advantageous refrigeration system by cycle of compression that show advantage in the following aspects: wide area of observation of traces; automation of maintenance-free cooling; duration of demonstrations for hours. Such a camera is convenient for exposure in non-formal education environments, such as science museums and similar spaces, looking for to contribute by taking into account the high costs of cloud chambers in the marketed with these similar characteristics. The proposal can also be used in didactic laboratories of universities and other interested parties.

The notion of intersectionality made it possible to complexify the understanding of the processes of domination and resistance in contemporary societies by understanding oppressions as co-constitutive, articulated and nonhierarchical, at least a priori. In the historiography on labor, this perspective has focused especially the crossings of the dominations and discriminations of gender, race-ethnicity and class. However, there is still very little research on workers with sexuality deviant from heteronormative patterns. Less visible even by the very character of secret that historically constitutes them, the experiences of these sexual deviants, and the speeches that configure them are also constitutive of the world of labor. It is sufficient to think, for example, of the socially established “queer professions” (such as hairdressers, stylists, flight attendants and nurses) or reinforcing heteronormativity in trade union and political activism, with their explicit or veiled demands to values related to hegemonic masculinities. This article intends to call attention to the importance of taking into account this analytical perspective, as well as to point out some possible historiographic and methodological paths for its effectiveness.
