This article presents a theoretical and bibliographic review discussing social and ethnic-racial quotas in Brazilian federal highereducation institutions, based on the historical and dialectical materialism. The study considers the university as an arena of class struggleand raises the question: to what extent does the policy of social and ethnic-racial quotas constitute processes of resistance to fairdistribution and equal bourgeois rights? It is understood that the quota policy emerges and is justified on the assumption that the equalright does not include the black population. This bourgeois pseudo-equality does not consider this population’s historically deniedaccess to socially produced goods and wealth. Therefore, there must be another form of access, which is connected to another form offacing the issue of universality, considering diversity and the need for unequal treatment, since the equal treatment maintains theinequality.

Considering the importance of characterizing didactic strategies about Socioscientific Issues (SSI) to evaluate the proposals made in the context of the teaching of the natural sciences in basic education, we analyze SSI-based teaching proposals in the literature, through a systematic review of articles raised in national and international databases. In the 34 articles analyzed, we observed the definitions of SSI and reported difficulties, such as the resistance found, the lack of adequate materials, the deficiency in teacher training, and the difficulty of the students themselves. However, the work shows that SSI-based education contributes to the construction of a scientific education that is contextualized and in line with STSE education, helps in the formation of critical and sociopolitically active citizens, mobilizes other knowledge and dimensions of content, among other advantages. In this sense, understanding better about this literature, we will be able to delineate with better quality future projects in the area.

This article aims to analyze the book The Outline of History, published in 1919 by the English writer H.G. Wells, as representative of a historical writing genre, defined by Doris S. Goldstein as social evolutionary history. This genre had its first manifestations in the late nineteenth century, after the repercussion of Darwinian theories on some historical works, but gained more precise contours in the first decades of the twentieth century with Wells's book, the most representative of the so-called social evolutionary history. These early manifestations were retaken in new approaches in the second half of the twentieth century with the emergence of World History, corroborated by scientific discoveries in various fields of natural sciences and better grounded in their aspirations to articulate elements of evolutionary biology in the analysis of the historical process. Finally, we suggest that in Wells’s The Outline of History some elements that articulate World History are already present, such as the choice for a cosmic temporal scale associated with historical temporality itself and the criticism of national borders as artificial conventions, which hinder the development of a broader historical rationale regarding global issues.

This study presents an analysis of Brazilian public education, considering the history of disputes among different projects for the area and the consequences for the country over time. The research focuses on higher education and aims to express the perspective of actors committed to the struggle for a transformative and emancipatory alternative to education, challenging the neoliberal offensive, and loss of rights. Using the categories and conceptions of Gramscian, the article points out instruments that potentially transform and strengthen the strategies to resist to the bourgeois and neoliberal hegemony. This set of instruments may represent a field of intervention for professors, researchers, and students committed to protecting and strengthening the public university.

This study examined the main ideological foundations and assumptions of the organization Escola sem Partido (School without Party) (ESP), based in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. This article discusses the implications of the perspectives and guidelines regarding education and society defended by the organization in the last decade, highlighting, more specifically, the developments of the debate in sociology teaching in high school. Documentary research collected electronic and printed material from the press, websites, and social media linked to ESP, which was studied using critical discourse analysis. The results highlight the concepts of ideological indoctrination and neutrality of teaching proposed by ESP, as well as the topics and agenda related to the issue of the curtailment of teaching practice and curricular components of the discipline of sociology. For the ESP, sociology could only be admitted when reflecting nomothetic standards of a positivist and scientific sociological knowledge, reproducing the organization’s project of a conservative society.

This article discusses whether the social practice in defense of education policy in Brazil, under the current conditions capitalism imposes, acquires a new critical sense and anti-capitalist features. A brief historical review of the main social struggles in education of this century in Brazil is presented, supported by a dialogue with Marxist authors. The results point to the need for further research on the process of consolidation of an antagonistic educational project, coordinated with the movement of overcoming the capitalist order. The social work has the ethical commitment to be part of this educational project and strengthen it, led by an expanded concept of democracy.

This study aimed to understand the challenges arising from the implementation of an educational praxis radically focused on human emancipation. Through a literature review, theoretically referenced in historical-critical pedagogy, the research analyzed fundamental determinations of public education in Brazil. Three closely related issues were addressed: the historical difficulty of establishing a national education system; the chronic problems of funding as a key element of educational policies, especially in recent decades; and the hegemony of learning-to-learn pedagogy, which open space for a discourse that harms the activity of transmission of historically produced human knowledge in its most advanced forms. The results point to the need to protect public education as a social right, linked to the struggles for an emancipatory educational project. This project needs to be supported by the production of knowledge about the Brazilian educational reality, based on a theoretical framework that can capture its contradictory nature, which constitutes a particularity of peripheral capitalism.

Brazilian political parties are periodically reclassified regarding their ideological colours in order to depict changes and trends. However, most scholars only use the major parties instead of entire party system. This choice hinders Brazil’s political representation understanding, insofar as party fragmentation gets higher and small parties became relevant actors making themselves into major parties’ position. Thus, our aim is to validate the ideological measure of a set of political parties usually ignored by literature. Therefore, we chose eight less graded political parties on left-right axis. Left-right classification was made through a web-based survey within Brazilianist and Brazilian political science community. In order to validate, we associate the output from experts’ survey with previous classifications and with parties’ manifestos. Our hypothesis states lack of grading is due to low programmatic levels in theses eight parties and latent ideological positions of them, instead of salient. Results points out to an agreement with main hypothesis, even if contextual and systemic issues may hamper the scientific corpus capacity to ideologically rank our political parties.

Adapting to the existent context in current days is a mandatory measure that implies understanding present times. It also implies comprehending an ontological critique that explains the role of education and knowledge, at the same time as supporting educational and connection strategies that restore to theory its fundamental role of guiding the practice. Contrary to zeitgeist, ontology and knowledge implications on the debate about education, explicitly or implicitly pose the question why ontology and why an ontological critique? In this article, we present the dialectical movement of the ontological and gnosiological dimension based on a conception of human beings that can generate the possibilities of banning the idea that the totalizing capitalist system cannot be surpassed. On the contrary, we need a form of knowledge that considers totality, as offered by critical ontology.

This article addresses the issue of intraparty competition in open list proportional elections. Although the literature expects that Brazilian electoral rules encourage direct competition for votes among co-partisans, there are few efforts to measure the levels of this competition. Through voting correlations, by electoral zones, we discuss the degrees of spatial overlapping of candidacies within four parties in the race for the office of federal deputy in the state of São Paulo in 2014. We find variations in the levels of intraparty competition that indicate different coordination strategies in the selection of candidates. This variety shows that, besides the incentives of electoral rules, the agents' strategic responses to these rules should not be neglected when dealing with this theme.

The Alliance for Progress, program devised by the Kennedy administration early in the 1960s, aimed at promoting regional development of Latin America along US-like capitalist lines, was mired in an inherent contradiction. On the one hand, the program acknowledged that the US could no longer ignore Latin American demands for development. On the other, it realized that its autonomous development, according to the model idealized by the Alliance, could reduce the influence of the United States in the region. In the interplay of Latin American pressures and hegemonic interests of the United States, the Alliance assumed coercive and ideological contours, rendering the partnership for common good meaningless. Grounded on primary documentation produced by the State Department and the US Information Agency (USIA), the present article examines the ideological action of the Alliance for Progress. The focus of the reflection is centered on the analysis of editorial policies implemented along the 1960s, which aimed at influencing debates on the development that took place in Brazil and Latin America so to promote capitalism appropriate to American hegemony. The analysis demonstrates that, in spite of being an innovative and ambitious external policy, the implementation of the Alliance was mired in ideological continuities and geopolitical concerns traditionally shaping the relation between the United States and Latin America.

The First World War had great repercussion worldwide, having occurred in the midst of numerous transformations in the economic, political, social and cultural spheres. The impact in Brazil happened mainly from 1917, when Brazil was directly assaulted by Germany and declared war to that country. This article reflects the debates about female participation in the War, whether as supporters, nurses or soldiers. The formation of the Women’s Legion of Death in Russia has made a major impact by showing the world the images of women in military uniforms and fighting in the battlefield. In the same way the appeal of the Red Cross by volunteers became an international clamor. In addition, there were the feminist and suffragist agenda and the discussions on the role of women in modern society.

The present article investigates the nature of professional occupations and marriage relationships of three generations of the Vieira dos Santos family. This family of Portuguese origin had members who immigrated to the south of the Captaincy of São Paulo in the late eighteenth century. There are three arguments supported by this analysis. First, it is evidenced that the formation of this kinship was due to the absorption, through marriage, of individuals who exercised professions such as that of farmer and goldsmiths. Secondly, it should be pointed out that coming to Brazil did not generate their permanence in the occupations of their ancestors. The settlement in this Portuguese colony led to the entry of members of that family into commerce and into the spheres of public administration. Third, it is clear that, in Brazil, the members of this family maintained a practice adopted by their ascendants. This practice was to choose sponsors belonging to the same professional group. In Portugal and Brazil, the members of this family applied similar social strategies. A consequence of these strategies was to reinforce their presence in social circles composed of artisans and merchants.
