This article discusses the presence of the ‘medicalizing knowledge’ in public schools of Florianópolis (SC). The study questions the phenomenon of medicalization in formal education, reflecting on its consequences for the student’s school performance and its ideological function as medicalization tends to hide the school’s responsibility as an institution that reproduces social inequalities. This research is positioned in the field of education sociology, and adopts a quantitative-qualitative approach, reviewing the literature about medicalization and the educational and health policies on (non)medicalizing practices. The research then conducts a study of the unique contexts of action (SARMENTO, 2011), using empirical procedures, and reflects if the use of the concept of medicalization contributes to achieving the research goals when based on a Sartrean methodological theoretical conception in the field of education sociology. Finally, aspects of sociological research on the subject are analyzed, finding that there is a growing interest in medicalization in the field of school education, as well as there is a demarcation of the socio-historical approach related to the anti-psychiatry movement.

In this paper we try to put in evidence some aspects of the future Physics teachers imaginary when they are is related to work with problem solving and with Nuclear Physics inclusion in High School. We show that this imaginary is evidenced and suffers displacements from specific conditions of production.

Based on the perspective that several concepts that guide journalism arise from a masculine tradition, feminist journalism research proposes new journalistic practices, oriented by intersectional and standpoint feminism. This landscape can be related to the peace journalism theoretical framework, which considers media communications a tool for conflict transformation. In this article, through a literature review, we investigate the tensions, the differences, and the possible contributions from the intersections between feminist journalism and peace journalism for journalistic practices and principles, and for academic research.

This article analyses the production of Brazilian theses and dissertations about the Physics teaching for deaf and hearing-impaired students. The data consist of abstracts of documents located in the Catalog of Theses and Dissertations of Capes. The results indicate: centralization of academic production in public institutions and in the Southeast region; prevalence of researches that are not linked to groups/lines of research on inclusive education/special education and Physics/Science teaching; focus of research in Basic Education; thematic approaches in the elaboration/implementation/evaluation of didactic resources accessible to the deaf and/or hearing-impaired people, in the production conditions of/on their teaching and learning processes, and in the elaboration of signs for scientific terms. The results indicate the urgency that the Physics teacher’s education to deal with these students and the university as a space with inclusive perspectives are some of issues that may generate a plan for futures researches about inclusive Physics teaching.

Editorial Information

When ethnography is appropriated by Physical Education researchers, it is a powerful path for knowledge production and an integral part of an agenda of discussion about the ways and possibilities for achieving it. This study reflects about our experiences in conducting ethnographies, especially on the changes it underwent through its approximation to Social Studies of Science and Technology. Considering four ethnographic research studies whose objects were related to sports practiced by women (volleyball and futsal), sports talent, and the science of Physical Education, we present an account of what was ‘gained’ – or ‘lost’ – when we changed the ways of looking, listening, doing, writing and analyzing in ethnographic research.

We sought to identify and analyze the most practiced adventures sports in Barra da Tijuca and São Conrado, as well as the training of the instructors responsible for conducting this sport aspect in the aforementioned natural spaces of Rio de Janeiro. From a field study, with a sample group of 176 instructors, it was possible to state that the most practiced adventure sports are free flight (81%), kite surfing (7%), surfing (5%), , rappelling (2%) and climbing (1%). As far as professional training is concerned, research shows that only 14% of the total number of instructors had physical education. Therefore, the study concluded that the most practiced adventure sports in the regions are the sea and mountain, as well as unveiling the need for physical education training, as well as training courses for adventure sports instructors, as well as for training those who are interested in acting in this field. 

The study aimed to identify how it has been configured the teaching work precariousness in the mercantile private Higher Education and the action strategies adopted from the lecturers of undergraduate courses in Physical Education for its confront. Semi-structured interviews were realized with 12 lecturers who act in courses of mercantile private Higher Education institutions. The produced information were interpreted in the light of the concepts of Pierre Bourdieu and some assumptions of the Discourse Analysis. The results indicated that, in addition to the overload of disciplines and a predominant hourly work regime, forcing them to accumulate several jobs, there is a loss of pedagogical autonomy due to the imposition of didactic packages and the pressures of ENADE. Strategies of teaching action towards adaptation, but also resistance were identified.

The aim of this article is to discuss the interfaces between academic and public intellectuality in dialogue with black and decolonial feminists. Taking into account the production of a “first person narrative”, I discuss my own trajectory as a university professor, highlighting the relevance of the construction of scientific projects based on the self-image of black women as intellectuals. In consideration of Ochy Curiel’s critique of the renunciation of “social life” to achieve a successful career, I bring to the fore the importance of discussing the role of subjectivity and the production of self-defined knowledge in the lives of black women. Finally, I reflect on the dilemmas and possibilities posed for the intellectuality of black women through experiences lived in the last four years, among them the creation of Black Intellectuals Group, participation in television programs and the post of columnist in Nexo Newspaper.

Through the trajectory of Tácito Pires and some of his writings, this research seeks to connect issues of the labor history with the post-abolition studies. Among the challenges, to transform into a historical problem the color of workers and to apprehend the way in which ideas of race were handled by the subjects themselves. He was born of free womb in 1874 in Porto Alegre and passed away in 1939 in the native city. Since 1908, he used to move by the State as public professor, maintaining residence by greater time in Bagé.

The “Cerruti case” was a diplomatic conflict that took place at the end of the 19th century involving Colombia, Italy, France, Spain and the United States. Based on the biography of Ernesto Cerruti and analyzing its “micro”/“macro” dimension, this research will illustrate particular characteristics of the late 19th century, such as the consolidation of the Nation State, of the modern international system, of trade and of international financial system, migrations and imperialism). This paper aims to show: how a biographical study enables us to examine broad historical issues, how the “micro” is related to the “macro”, how connected history works, how contemporary historiography allows a different reading of the past and what means a multilevel study.

From the memories produced by the Teuto-Brazilians residents in Lages, this article analyses the memories produced by the historiography and also present in the Licugo Costa speeches. The memory is treated as a space of conflicts among several political groups. The oral history and memoir's text are considered poitical spaces that make possible the constution of an identity affinity.

It is common to find depictions of behaviorist approaches to the mind as approaches according to which mental (or psychological) events are “dispositions for behavior.” Moreover, it is sometimes said that for these approaches the dispositions are for publicly observable (external) behaviors, or even “purely physical movements,” thereby excluding from being constitutive of mental events any internal (e.g., physiological) bodily happening, besides any movement not taken as “purely physical.” In this paper I aim to (i) pinpoint problems in such widespread depictions of behaviorism about the mind, by arguing that they turn out to be too restrictive or too broad, as the case may be. In addition, (ii) I put forward an alternative, more balanced characterization, which wards off such problems. Based upon this alternative characterization, I attempt to (iii) classify some of the embodied mind theories as behavioral, non-behavioral, or borderline cases between behavioral and non-behavioral perspectives.

This paper discusses how, in the 1980s and the 1990s, important forms of domination andsymbolic strategies were underlined in Brazilian journalism. For this, it discusses the changes inthe journalists’ labor market, the impact of the demand of Bachelor’s degree for the exercise of theprofession, the increase in number of schools and the importance of the adoption of specific rulesfor journalistic writing seeking the consolidation of a professional work and writing model. Itshows how in the conflict between the “old” and the “young” journalists, which marked thetwo decades studied, the following topics were at play: modifications in the way of work andthe profession’s perception, in the hierarchy organization and social recruitment, as well as in theprofessional identity.

Based on theoretical research on philosophers such as Spinoza, Deleuze and Guattari, we problematize the way in which bodily practices can pose to the body the issue of the limits of its (im)potency by means of a circuit of affections that goes from helplessness to joy. We conclude that these practices can be a privileged territory for research of “what can the body in motion do?”, which brings consequences for the Physical Education in dealing pedagogically with them.

This study posits that Bohr failed to defend the completeness of the quantum mechanical description of physical reality against Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen’s (EPR) paper. Although there are many papers in the literature that focus on Bohr’s argument in his reply to the EPR paper, the purpose of the current paper is not to clarify Bohr’s argument. Instead, I contend that regardless of which interpretation of Bohr’s argument is correct, his defense of the quantum mechanical description of physical reality remained incomplete. For example, a recent trend in studies of Bohr’s work is to suggest he considered the wave-function description to be epistemic. However, such an interpretation cannot be used to defend the completeness of the quantum mechanical description.

The objective of this article is to propose a historiographical exercise through a Global History approach, more precisely, Connected History, trying to understand aspects of pre-modern chronology from a different perspective regarding geographical limits and Eurocentric traditions. Starting from the Battle of Talas, famous for putting Arabs and Chinese against each other, I will establish a connective narrative between East and West, highlighting how the year of 751 CE is paradigmatic regarding the formation of frontiers and patterns of political interaction. In order to demonstrate such pattern, I will analyse the presence of the ʾAbbāsids and the Tang in Central Asia, the crowning of Pippin the Short in Europe, and the destruction of the Exarchate of Ravenna and the Byzantine Iconoclasm. I hope this exercise demonstrates how synchronicity and global connections can be a viable historical approach, allowing us to understand and to relocate pre-modern periodisation beyond its Eurocentric roots. This chronological/geographical shift has the potential to unravel wider, richer, and better-connected narratives and interpretations on pre-modern subjects, breaking with the traditional normalisation of Europe as the ruler to measure and define historical periods, especially the Middle Ages.

A great number of investigations suggest that cognition involves both linguistic and cartographic representations. These researches have motivated a pluralist conception of cognition; also, they have been used to clarify how maps differ from linguistic representations. However, the computational processes underlying the interphase between both kinds of representations deserve further attention. In this paper, I argue that, despite their differences, cartographic representations coexist and interact with linguistic representations in interesting ways. 

I will apply a technique employed by Giovanni Girolamo Saccheri in Logica demonstrative  (1701) to concisely prove the invalidity of moods of the First Figure of the Theory of the Assertoric Syllogism without appealing to facts outside logic.
