This essay aimed to analyse, throughout a linguistics and speech readings, the subject of identity in A Hora da Estrela, by Clarice Lispector. The identity matter is presented, in her novel, such as possible faces in a contemporaneous world, constituted of several levels of different elements. But concomitantly, those levels are related one to another, through insularity of the individuals and the lack of reference and individual fragmentary. This research will intend to depict how the poetical speech operates on crystallized ideologicals formations in the capitalist society, reproducing, therefore, in the speeches, the process of human beings with an absence of essential nature. The deictics, will be privileged, whereas there are uncountable narrative resources, and those ones will be invested for the comprehension of their perform in the narrative, excluding individuals, and hence, they create in themselves, the feeling of annulling. The concept of dêixis will also be exploitated, functioning as indicators of the ideological narrator s assuming, composed in the enunciating of the text , related to other person, offering evidence about the social segregation in the narrative. Throughout our understanding effort, we will observe that the deictics permeate the environmental representative speeches which point to the main character, Macabéa, like an unconscious and marginalized person, and the whole process will render difficulty, this way, the construction of her own identity. Tying the deictics analyse and the concept of alterity, Rodrigo S.M., the narrator, shows up in the plot, depicting his perception concerning to the other (Macabéa), (re) building, this way, the main episodes of the exchangeable identities. Is will be observed that the narrator s construction of identity is established in the postponement and the refusal of his recognizing about himself , manifested, essentially, through a speech supported in a deictic roundly application.

Nos Festivais de Música Eletrônica, quem os frequenta, tem uma forte cultura de prezar a paz e a espiritualidade, assim como uma conexão profunda com a natureza, acima de tudo. A partir das festas de Goa, e da miscigenação cultural decor- rente da popularização desses eventos, o público desenvolveu aspectos próprios, como o princípio de PLUR, que de certa forma caracteriza a cultura dos Festivais de Música Eletrônica contemporâneos, “um movimento de cura individual que prioriza a melhoria social” (HUTSON, 2000 p.39). Nas Raves, o público também se encontra num estado de paz e harmonia social. O foco desses eventos aparenta ser mais para dançar e curtir o line up do main stage, sem contar tanto com outras experiências culturais ou sensoriais.

O presente trabalho tem como escopo o estudo acerca da alteração do cenário econômico e institucional do Brasil com a descoberta das reservas de petróleo na camada do pré-sal, que, uma vez descobertas, encheram de esperança a economia brasileira com as novas possíveis oportunidades de produção de riqueza para o país. Desse modo, se faz necessário deixar a euforia de lado e analisar, com cautela, os riscos que a exploração de um recurso natural tão abundante pode produzir sobre a economia do país, no que se destaca a doença holandesa. Ela é capaz de inviabilizar atividades econômicas que não se relacionam com a atividade exploratória, principalmente a indústria, pelo motivo da apreciação da taxa cambial do país, dificultando o acesso a mercados externos e sujeitando a produção local à forte concorrência externa. Por esta compreensão, torna-se apropriado examinar se os mecanismos utilizados pelo novo regime regulatório, no que tange ao regime de partilha de produção, consequente reversão de parcela do excedente do produto aos cofres públicos, associado a instituição do Fundo Social, constituem os meios adequados para o enfrentamento da doença holandesa.

Lean Manufacturing (LM) is a concept originated from the introduction of Toyota Production System (TPS), when the Japanese manufacturer, since the 1980s, became a global reference in the application of IPM due to the success of the adopted production model. Successfully applied to companies in various areas, the LM is studied by researchers worldwide, but in Brazil studies are required on the subject. This form of management discussion brings to the quest for simplicity, ie, elimination of waste, establishment of flow processes and proximity to customer and market. On this basis, the aim was to provide input to clarify the answer to question: the use of the LM system has direct relationship with business performance? This research also sought help to expand knowledge about the LM and find subsidies in the corporate environment so they can better understand the impacts of this management system in business performance. Accordingly, the aim is also to verify the need for non-financial variables as intermediate between the use of LM and business performance. To this end, we carried out a research project in two stages. The first step was an exploratory nature, where we seek, through interviews with professionals, to determine elements that characterize the LM and also validate the non-financial indicators and business performance that would be used in the study. In the second step a field survey was applied to managers involved with management and implementation of LM elements. The data collected in the first stage were treated by the content analysis and contributed to the formation of the elements that characterize the LM and validate the constructs. The data coming from the second stage went through factor analysis and development of structural equation to study the relationships between the constructs LM, non-financial indicators and business performance. Results show a valid relationship between elements of LM and non-financial indicators and business performance. Also found that the non-financial indicators exert relevant intermediary between the elements of LM and business performance. It was also noted the high importance that factors such as waste elimination and the establishment of flow have in LM. Among the findings, beyond the positive aspects, there is, in our sample, lack of awareness of the effect of managers actions in business performance due to the distance between their actions with guidelines to business arising from the focus on short term and the gap on training of managers.

This study aims at analyzing two Affirmative Action Programs: (1) University for All Program PROUNI (in private institutions) and, (2) System of Preferred Admissions, Quotas, (private institutions that reserve 50% of the vacancies for Negroes and afro descendents social and racial aspects). These programs were created to facilitate and promote the admission of students from less favored social and economic classes in university level courses. These students come from public schools or have full scholarships in private high schools. In more details, we try to understand, from the point of view of students who graduated, how the Affirmative Action Programs have contributed for them to become part of the labor market, as the Programs are intended to help overcome social barriers. In order to reach this objective, 15 students were interviewed; 7 who were granted PROUNI scholarship, 7 were granted COTAS scholarship, and 1 was granted both PROUNI and COTAS. The theoretical framework was composed basically by the Brazilian laws, mainly those referring to education and the historical process of inclusion in Brazil (main focus on schooling). The results indicated that the Programs studied were important for those who took part in the study, as they helped bring a better understanding of the world and the society, developing criticality and self-esteem. Regarding the insertion in the labor market, the programs didn t meet the students expectations because they kept their old jobs which were not related to the academic field they graduated.

Deaf people belong to a linguistic minority, that uses gestural language to communicate. We can compare them to a foreigner, in other words, a person who has a different worldview from most of the people and also has a unique culture. Therefore, the initial formation of the Professor of courses related to Pedagogy, taking into consideration actions for inclusion, is a requisite for a good education focused on the deafs, and this drives questions that surround this research. During the Brazilian Sign Language Course (LIBRAS) in Pedagogy, what kind of concept of deafness is in scene? What are representations that the future pedagogues, who will work in basic education, create about deaf students in the regular class? To answer these questions, this research was initiated through a contemporary view of deaf culture and language, from authors, such as Sacks (2010), Strobel (2009), Skliar (2010), Perlin (2010), Lulkin (2010) Ribas (2011), Gesser (2009), Lacerda & Santos (2013), Laraia (2001), Cassirer (1977), Quadros (1997). From the analysis of teaching plans of the Brazilian Sign Language (LIBRAS) and the questionnaires answered by students of Pedagogy of Universidade Nove de Julho and Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie, both in São Paulo, it was possible to observe the formation of pedagogues, when it comes to contributions of the Brazilian Sign Language course. From these studies and analysis, new challenges emerge to professors who teach this course and essencial concepts for the formation of pedagogues, future teachers and managers of basic education.

This study is the effect of the hypothesis that recognizes in the hypermedia, according to the interdisciplinary proposal, innovatory potential for the model s rupture of the traditional and meaning education to found conditions to constructing of the renewed educative process. To confirm this hypothesis, we search theoretically into the principal teaching boarding that influence the Brasilian education, we study the National Curricular Parameter, we search the hypermedia and the interdisciplinarity concepts and its historical development, and we deepen the knowledges about the hypermedia s properties, the painting language and its importance in the hypermedia s conception. By means of the descriptive analysis of the CD-ROM Diadorim local history of the child, young persons and adults alphabetization process of the Diadema Municipality , we verify that the materials us the studied hypermedia is one important instrument that allow of the pupil one active reader, one co-author, one participant of the educative process. At last, we show the important relation between the knowledge s production and the public politicians of the search valorization. The Diadorim project is one proof of the binomial university and the public power can give the construction of the materials and high quality projects and to create excellent opportunities to improve the quality of the Education.

This paper analyzes the idea of memory and memory places, terms coined by the French historian Pierre Nora, showing the memory as one of the key elements in the autobiographical creative processes by analyzing Carlos Negrini´s work of performances, photos and video performances. The study describes the construction of the works from referenced realities in the artist's memories and his daily lives exploring the boundaries between subject and society assuming an expressive nature that transits from the intima to the universal. As a consequence of childhood memories and relational conflict with the world, issues such as belonging, rejection, love, hate, identity and sexuality emerge - in the delicate relationship between mother and child. By revealing the body in its multiple possibilities, it assumes a place of extreme political density, evidencing questions to reflect its own existence. This process is a continuity of studies on the development of the author’s identity, considering the homosexuality itself as a starting point along with his strong relationship with his mother, the family as a creative microcosm, raising psychoanalysis issues connected to personal experiences. In a discussion based on pattern how come across a point to selecting what is correct according to the pattern molded by society? After all, apart from the pattern vision must its concept be hidden? A variety of answers will be possible, also, such points will stimulate new ways of thinking, observing and leading to new vision of relating to others and to art. The research aims to provide an overview of the discussed topic, analyze and identify possible factors that influence and are influenced in direct relation memories and images as deflagrate language and artistic expressions. The object will be exposed in the research with the analyzed production, taking into consideration the timing of the work, due to the relationship, often repeated, established between the artistic production.

This study is based on the formation and performance of art teacher who works in the early years of elementary school. The research question investigated was to understand how is the preparation of the education professionals for its work in the classroom as well as how do they both learns and teaches. It is theoretically based on the following authors: Shulman, Mizukami, Ferraz and Fusari, Nóvoa and Gatti. Methodologically characterized by being a descriptive study quantitative-qualitative and quantitative through questionnaires sent through the Internet or directly to schools of Cycle I and qualitative (personally interviewed in a second step) during the 1st and 2nd half of 2012. The central question at the beginning of the research was to see if there was any direct relationship between initial training and classes, and if the answer was positive, which relations are significant, considering that all these teachers should follow the law and the PCN`s (National Curriculum Parameters). This first goal went to background and other questions, such as what is your specific training and teaching, ie, as "teaching Art," which materials are best used and what the teacher does to improve his knowledge, were raised and answered from the sources of data collection. The main results from the questionnaires formatted as open and closed questions, refer to initial and continuous training of teachers, and how they act in the classroom. The analysis of the responses indicates that these 35 teachers are mostly women, ranging from 30 to 50 years and claim to work the four languages, giving less importance to the Dance. They prefer to teach what they know best due to their initial formation and they use PCN`s books and the web to organize their classes. They would like more courses and more direct guidance, they also miss meetings that used to happened for updates and experience exchanges. Many teachers seem to "mix" affection and teaching, forgetting that the primary function of the school is to introduce and socialize the historically constructed knowledge of the humanity.

Frente ao desenvolvimento do mercado financeiro no Brasil, as empresas privadas demonstram alto crescimento e a necessidade em gerar recursos financeiros. Porém, tendo em vistas grandes crises financeiras vividas pelo país nos últimos anos, tais ações não tem sido efetivas e demonstram lentidão nos processos, gerados em decorrência da falta de incentivos dadas pelo mercado decorrente da situação vivida pela população. Desta forma, o país vê a necessidade de criar mecanismos que incentivem tais instituições a investir em seu crescimento econômico próprio e, consequentemente, o do Brasil. O mercado de capitais então abre suas portas para disponibilizar diversas fontes de investimento, para diferentes investidores e com inúmeras condições. Serão assim beneficiados todos os envolvidos, em diversos níveis de hierarquia e mútuo crescimento econômico. Porém, existem pontos negativos também, o que demonstra a necessidade de estudo para realização de tal operação.
