The aim of this article is to sketch the origins of electronic literature and to highlight some important moments in order to trace its history. In doing so we consider the variety of languages, cultural backgrounds, cultural heritages, and contexts in which digital literature has been created. The article is divided into five sections: a brief history of electronic literature in general (however, we must admit that this section has a very ethnocentric point of view) and then four other sections divided into North American, Latin American, European (Russia included), and Arab Electronic Literature. Due to the lack of information, there is no section devoted to Electronic Literature in Asia, although a few texts will be mentioned. We are aware of the limits of this division and of the problems it can create, however, we thought it was the easiest way to shortly map out the origins of electronic literature and its development in different countries and continents. The article shows how some countries have developed their interest in and creation of electronic literature almost simultaneously, while others, just because of their own cultural background and/or contexts (also political and economic contexts and backgrounds), have only recently discovered electronic literature, or accepted it as a new form of the literary genre.

Digital literature did not emerge until the artform engaged with the media during the last half of the twentieth century. One can say that digital literature emerged before the modern computer, yet it did so through other media like radio, television, and cinema. The contemporary conception of digital literature emerged when Tibor Papp presented his first poetic work ‘The Computer’s Richest Hours’ on ten screens in 1985. This poem is considered the first digitally animated work of this type, with the author interlacing sound, image, movement, and interactivity. In the United States, Michael Joyce produced the first such digital work in narrative terms in his 1987 poem, ‘afternoon, a story,’ using the Storyspace computer program. Its first appearance in the Arab world was Jordanian Mohamad Sanajleh’s 2001 novel, Shadows of the One (Dhilāl al-Wāhid), which was soon followed by numerous other digital works from authors from various nations. Digital literature has greatly invigorated culture in the West since the beginning of the twenty-first century and one can say the same of the Arab world too, though the gap between the two cultures remains vast in terms of innovation, theorization, and criticism. This study aims to shed light on the contemporary state of Arab digital literature in terms of creativity and critique, theory and practice. It then turns to the challenges it faces, before examining its prospects in the immediate years ahead.

A theory of magnitudes involves criteria for their comparison, equivalence and addition. We examine these aspects from an abstract viewpoint, stressing independence and definability. These considerations are triggered by the so-called De Zolt’s principle in the theory of equivalence of plane polygons.

This article comments on the piece written by Jurandir Malerba published in the current issue ofEsboços: histórias em contextos globais, in which the author discusses the paradoxes of the global history of historiography. The article is based on the concept of “imagined community” proposed by Benedict Anderson, reflecting on the possibilities and limits to imagine a global history, as well as the collective experience of the community of historians who start to think about themselves through this same category. In dialogue with Malerba, Anderson, Jeremy Adelman, Eric Auerbach, Partha Chaterjee and others, this paper ends by posing the question who is authorized to “imagine” global history and, therefore, to control its narrative. The conclusion is that the answer to this question is inseparable from the matrix of inequalities and asymmetries that are reproduced in the current context of manufacturing a globalized world.

This article offers a marxist approach on law and ethics based on the category of social forms and inspired by Evgeny Pashukanis’ contributions. By considering modern subjectivity as the core of legal and ethic forms, and by taking kantian thinking as a reference on the matter (such as Pashukanis did), it is possible to see how these historical categories are continuosly delimited by legal theory and somehow insistently connected to legal practice, at least according to the most influent jurists, both positivists and post-positivists, each one in his own way. This perception strenghtens pashukanian argumentation on the differences between legal form and ethical form despite the social and practical complementarity that they present in legal subject’s dynamics, whic is the modern abstract individual from capitalism.

Brazilian legislation proposes the inclusion of students with disabilities in regular schools. In this way, the objective of the article was to identify, through a systematic review, how the inclusive process of these students in Physical Education classes, in regular Brazilian public schools, is given. Methodologically, the research was carried out in four databases (Lilacs, Scielo, VHL Regional Portal and Portal of Periodicals of Capes) following the PRISMA guidelines. The results were classified into three categories, through content analysis. We perceive that teachers and the school community face difficulties related to precarious teacher training, poor interpersonal interaction, and minimal architectural, instrumental and methodological accessibility. It was concluded that the inclusive process, despite the empasses, is under development.

This article, in the form of a small essay, is focused on a reading of soviet politics built under the revolutionary fervor. That is, a hermeneutic act that starts from the unfolding of the mud of the real and imagined battles fought in the eagerness of building the Proletary State. It consists in a political-military discharge with the purpose of safeguarding the project of overcoming capitalism, against the imminent danger of the counterrevolution. In this sense, soviet authoritarianism had, indeed, under a military matrix, been laden with bellicose discipline and hierarchy, a genealogy more often found in military manuals than in books about emancipatory Marxist politics. This explains the emergence of the militarized society as a whole. The main goal of this article is the political-military interpretation of the Russian revolutionary process of 1917 to construe a landscape of the reality lived from the bellicose practices that followed the formation of the Soviet State. Thereby, it is possible, throughout the text, to infer that there is an important singularity in this revolutionary context, a moment of emergency of total wars, that had impact in the becoming of the first Socialist State of the 20th century.

This article describes the stages of a social research that investigated the organizational capacity of a community, located in Minas Gerais - Brazil, in the confrontation of its socio-environmental problems. As part of a participant survey, a diagnosis was made to identify the community's most relevant challenges and potentials, which gave rise to interventions involving three priority demands: improvement of environmental education actions at school, community mobilization for electronic waste management, and implementation of socio-environmental policies in the municipality. The results of these interventions showed that the social actors involved, although they make efforts to act in socio-environmental confrontations, are not able to perpetuate actions to the point of concretizing more significant transformations in the community, given that factors such as: superficial view on the subject still prevails, little appreciation of collective participation by the local public power and fragmentation of the work of community leaders prevail in the scenario, which trigger abandonment of actions and discredit of the population in socio-environmental negotiations.

Through the published news in the greatest newspapers in the period between 1891 and 1920, in the Recife city, we pursue identify the forms that these communication vehicles represented the port workers (stevedores) and how, as a lot of times, they were presented stereotyped ways of view. Starting from the assumption that the representations are not always closer than the real event, we followed the Walter Benjamin’s propositions and we did against the grain reading that allowed us to see beyond what the periodicals presented, including the tense work routine in the docks of Recife’s port.

One of the difficulties that the theory of significant learning has is to be able to immediately determine conceptual assimilation, that is, to know how the learner is interacting between the previous concepts and the new concepts to be learned. The tecleras or clickers as a technological instrument of the new information and communication technologies allow us to have instantaneous answers from each one of the students when they are subjected to questions that explain their assimilation process. This research proposes a teaching method in problem solving, based on guided inquiry, so that the teacher detects the assimilation of the students when they solve problems. It is underpinned by Ausubel's theory of meaningful learning and Vygotsky's sociocultural theory. The investigation is solved by means of a mixed, quantitative and qualitative methodology, with a quasi-experimental design, where two groups are compared in problem solving; a control group and an experimental group. Problem solving is carried out in an Electromagnetism course, at university undergraduate level. The results show significant progress in the acquisition of significant learning between the experimental group and the control group.

The present article, result of a qualitative, aims to analyze the guiding principles of the Pikler-Lóczy approach. The corpus of research consisted of scientific papers, articles, dissertations and theses that address the topic. From the analyzed production four guiding principles were identified: 1) the deep respect for the baby and his individuality, recognizing him as a subject of rights; 2) the estimation of the baby’s autonomous activity, based on its own initiatives, combined with focusing on the gradual development of autonomy; 3) the importance of the bond between the adult and the baby, based on a privileged affective relationship and in qualified moments of care; 4) the baby’s freedom of movement, for playing and exploring yourself and the surroundings. It could be concluded that these principles constitute the major contribution of the pediatrician Emmi Pikler to the current Early Childhood Education, leading to a redefinition of the pedagogy for/with 0-3 years children, pointing that the pedagogical practices in this age group must be oriented by two pillars: care and relationships.

This paper aims to make reflections concerning the correspondence between Translation Studies, Dramaturgy and the Humorous Language. To that end, it will be necessary to raise problems about the transposition of the humorous language from one linguistic code to another, and specifically, considerations will be made about this correspondence with the scenic language, regarding the production of comedy, through the reflections of Susan Bassnett (2005), Luciana Kaross (2007), Valentín García Yebra (1983), Sirkku Aaltonen (2000), Patrice Pavis (2008), Marlene Fortuna (2000, 2010, 2011), among others in the field of Translation Studies and Dramaturgy. As a prelude to these reflections, it is considered that there is creativity on the part of the actor/translator and other agents of the theater so that the humorous language present in the source text has the same effect on the target language viewer in which the dramatic text is staged, that is, it provokes laughter.

In this work we had the objective to investigate the play in the queues of a public Full Time School from the city of Campinas. To do so, we conducted an ethnographic research, observing a class of 1st year of cycle I of Elementary School, during a semester. We use field diary and wrote narratives about the observations in the data production process. We call attention mainly to the strategies of control of the bodies and expressions used by the teachers, as well as, for the playful transgressor and resistant, that broke with the continuity in the dynamics of the school culture, subverting or at least revealing that another school would be possible to exist, with other standards, other settings, other rules and other meanings.

The present study investigated the mood states of Basketball athletes from the base categories of a Club, comparing mood states at the beginning and end of the 2018 season. Twenty-six athletes, male volunteers, with ages between 13 and 15 years. The athletes responded to Brunel's Humor Scale - BRUMS. The results showed that the athletes presented a positive state of mood, both at the beginning and at the end of the 2018 season, because the Vigor factor presented the highest scores at the two moments of collect. In addition, the Vigor factor increased its score throughout the season, and the Fatigue factor decreased. It can be concluded that during the 2018 season athletes were able to maintain a positive mood, with Vigor values higher than the other factors, which is characterized as ideal for sports performance.

This research seeks to understand the Sports Promotion Policies of Promotion of Nautical Sports formulated by six Municipalities of the Metropolitan Area of Lisbon with direct relation to natural water plans that share borders. Methodologically we used a qualitative and interpretative approach. The analysis model included indicators of structural, financial, strategic and inter-municipal nature. These municipalities include Thirteen Natural Spaces and Thirty-Six Beaches where it is possible to practice Nautical Sports, being planned the construction of two Nautical Sports Centers. It was concluded that all the municipalities analyzed have a Municipal Policy for the Promotion of the Practice of Nautical Sports that includes structural, educational and sporting measures.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the dynamics of prison work at the Recife Detention House during the 19th century. Using various primary sources, we seek to move beyond the rhetoric of prison managers and prison regulations and to emphasize some aspects of prison work such as the possibility for detainees to move outside the perimeter of prison institutions when performing some of their labor activities. Not infrequently, this mode of work gave prisoners a less isolated experience than was supposed and allowed for an experience of “parcel freedom”. The observation of prisoners in their wanderings through the city allows us to scale the flows that crossed and interconnected the Recife society and the universe of incarceration and underline the countless implications of this contiguity for prison daily life. Regarding the chronological clipping, our observation is limited to the management of Rufino de Almeida (1861-1875).
