Contemporary studies on Brazilian Education demonstrate how much the interpenetration of multiple fields of knowledge became feasible as a resource increasingly needed to account for the complexity of the study of its object. And this is motivated by the paths of Education itself, in view of all the theoretical and methodological progress it has made in modernity and in our day. Because of these, it can no longer be understood except as a dialectical process which must both take into account the historical-social and material bases of its conditions, but also can not forget the singular dimensions that permeate the constitution of the subject of pro- learning process. Subjectivity refers to the formation of the conscious activities involved in the apprehension of the real at stake in the process - including ideological formations - as well as that which refers us to the work of the unconscious. The collection "Brazilian Education: prumos "is a living example of this state of the production of knowledge about the educational reality of our country at the present moment, such is the diversity of subjects and disciplines of the most diverse as of cultural practices and, even lay, that inform us about the relevance of the efforts to delimit what is the task of all: the aforementioned directions and the prognoses of our Education.

The present work, which is bibliographic in nature, intend to delineate some reflections about research in Psychology, focusing on issues that involve quantitative and qualitative analysis in the social sciences, including the psychological field, since there is a movement in favor of the concomitant use of these two types of analysis, instead of isolated paradigms, signalizing greater breadth of information that the use of multimodal techniques can offer. The objective is to illustrate the research subject in a didactic manner, in order to promote a better understanding, especially for those who are starting in this area of knowledge.

This article articulates the culture of Peace with the inclusion of socio6political gay subject treats discrimination as a form of violence and evolves into a scope that contextualizes the human sexual diversity in the setting of public policy in the country. It presents the culture of Emancipation as an alternative construction of a social reality less oppressive and more democratic, more open to the acceptance of human diversity, based on nonviolence and its motion for an active Emancipation with roots that are grounded in human rights. A more detailed explanation about the violence and discrimination is not the object of this work, once this would be beyond its present objectives however, it is expected that it raises a critical thinking in the reader, because of the way its content is presented. Otherwise the present text enable the search for more information in in specialized literature among them those that are mentioned in the footnotes and in the article’s references.

The aim of this study was to analyze the work satisfaction of independent truck drivers and employees of carriers. It is understood that job satisfaction is essential to improving the quality of life for professionals who spend much of their time outside the home and in natural conditions. We interviewed 342 drivers in various states of Brazil, with a mean age of 44 years (SD 10.88), and more than half with only primary education. The results show a strong influence of loading demand and employment contract with companies for the best satisfaction. Drivers report great dissatisfaction with the work, which includes basic conditions (health and safety) issues marked (offering loads, waiting time in queues). An understanding of satisfaction and better conditions offered by companies are important variables to improve health and welfare of these professionals.

This paper aims at discussing the fundaments of psychoanalysis, in order to give an overview of how the psychoanalyst operates in his/her practice, thus delineating what is known as a clinic of desire – the traditional device of psychoanalysis, seeking to understand the way in which the analytical device operates with the subject under analysis, as well as, envision possible scopes and limitations of this métier. To do so, we will also discuss, briefly, the formation of the subject with which psychoanalysis exerts its clinical work, understanding that this subject is, for psychoanalysis, built. Thus, it is pertinent to conduct a reflection, in the form of a critical analysis, both from a cultural perspective, as taking the psychoanalytic framework of the theoretical, technical and practical point of view, in order to understand what some authors have discussed about the position taken by the subject in contemporary times, as well as by the psychoanalyst facing the conflicts that this subject brings to his/her clinic. In this sense, texts of Freud and Lacan, who contributed to build this same theoretical framework were used. As well as texts of secondary references, commentators who explore and clarify themes and concepts developed by Freud and Lacan throughout their theoretical constructs.

The socio-construccionist approach emphasizes the importance of defining conceptual and theoretically shared collective action frames for the study of social movements. However, in order to understand collective action, up to now little research has been done analyzing the meaning and the shared nature of these frameworks among political activists. Therefore, we analyzed these dimensions in the collective action frames that support the daily struggles of the activists of the anarquist minority union CGT (General Workers Confederation). We Identified 3 shared collective action frames that support their daily actions, 2 of them with greater potential to support a broader struggle against labour instability.

This article discusses the concept of structure in psychoanalysis, emphasizing its presence and importance in freudian and lacanian formulations. Points to the use of the term structure in some freudian texts, demonstrating that this notion was already present in his work. The return to Freud made by Lacan is revised from Lacan’s relationship with some structuralists. The text points to the Lacan efforts to bring the psychoanalytic experience to the speech and language, from the structuralist teachings and its subversion. The two breaks that mark the removal of Lacan ‘s structuralist movement are presented: the concept of the subject and the concept of real. It is evident that the notion of structure in Lacan is extracted from structuralism, but at the same time it dissociates because the structure of the structuralists is consistent, complete, whereas the Lacanian structure is antinomian and descompletada, including an impossibility in their field: not everything is explainable. Mark a distinction between structuralism based on completion and the teaching of Lacan who sits in incompletação.

Childhood corresponds the time of registration of the first traces of the experiences in the psyche. While the infantile is associated with sexuality and the unconscious, establishing itself as the brand psyche. This article consists of the master’s research aimed at investigating the foundations of psychoanalytic treatment of adults and children with the infantile as an articulator. We address the conceptual difference between childhood and infantile, pointing their theoretical relevance, as well as their impact in the clinic. Use, finally, the concept of infantile neurosis as a central element that brings in the analysis, adults and children, because it refers to the subjective structure.

This paper aims at mapping therapeutic itinerary (IT) of women/mothers with severe psychic suffering, observing the integrality in care in relation to the account for their female condition and psychic fragility. We used the life history method with semi-structured interviews, recorded in audio and video and later transcribed. We have performed interviews with six women and have created four theme categories: 1) Equipments and formal strategies of treatment; 2) Equipments and informal strategies of treatment; 3) Social support network and 4) Political and social engagement. Throughout analyzes it was found that the it was constructed in various and fragmented modes. In general, women supported by family, friends and professional were protagonists in constructing therapeutic itinerary. However, the integrality (that is based on an offer of care beyond individual efforts and that demands articulated actions between mental health and the maternal/child health) proved to be fragile. It was also observed lack of an articulated care and absence of a comprehensive approach related to their condition as mothers and severe psychic suffering subjects.

This study aimed to identify the perceptions of job applicants about the personnel selection process. It was a descriptive exploratory qualitative study made up of a semi-structured interview which aimed to obtain better opening and depth considering issues that might ensue. Seven graduates of over 22 years old who have previously been in any kind of selection process took part in the study. Another relevant criterion for the research was that the participants should be unemployed. As a result, the personnel selection process is not only considered a stage to be fulfilled, but it is a way to acquire experience, to learn to behave in future selections and to learn about other people’s experiences even though having similar goals to other participants. The selection process was also positive in order to help the people to know themselves better, being considered as a source of professional and personal learning which doesn’t have negative consequences in the person’s life. Another factor was that the choice of companies where they deserve to work is based on salary, benefits, career plan and references from people who have already worked in that company. Although the personnel selection process was positive, the approval or failure in the selection was considered as necessary and indispensable information to be forwarded to the participants by the companies in which they were candidates.

This article highlights the matter of successful old age as developed in the research “Retirement and successful old age: a case study with college professors’ from Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais”. The comprehension of how college professors with over 60 years of age perceive the idea of healthy old age has been pursued through a case study – using a questionnaire and statistical analysis with SPSS – which aimed at revealing the imaginary of 40 professors on the issues of old age, work and retirement. As a conclusion, we noticed that they consider the psychic capacity to deal with new situations the main element in the achievement of a successful old age, followed by the engagement in various activities.

This paper aimed to know if susceptibility to emotional contagion and embarrassment are related to management role, sex and educational level in a comparative study between Brazil and Angola. Participated 431 workers (164 men and 267 women), 300 from Brazil and 131 from Angola, 71,5% graduated or post-graduated, 37,8% working as managers and mean age was 30 years. An electronic survey was used to measure the Embarrassment Questionnaire and Emotional Contagion. Factorial solutions were distinct in both countries. Only in Angola, women in manager position at least graduated showed lower levels of embarrassment than men in the same conditions. In Brazil, the educational level modifies the susceptibility to contagion of positive emotions, considering the variables management role and sex. The results showed positive correlations between embarrassment and emotional contagion in both countries.

The present article refers to a research, still in progress, that aims to identify human rights social exclusion and violation situation memories from oppressed groups, who are in economic and sociocultural inequality contexts if they are compared to the majority of society. These groups include women, young people, old people, disabled people, homosexuals, black people and indigenous. Based on Political Psychology (Martín-Baró, 1998) and Communal Psychology (Maritza Montero, 2002, 2004a/b) theoretical-methodological referential, we accomplished an action research, using own research subjects, owing to reach interventions/actions that make those communities stronger and promote their social changing. In this article, we analyze only teenagers’ women-mothers focus group speeches that fulfill socioeducational measures related to their human rights’ violation memories. These speeches clarified the violation experiences suffered by those women-mothers, as well as their complaints and resistances. At the same time, it developed conditions to elaborate, with the community, actions that strengthen their human rights and political participation fight. We realize memory has been mobilizing actions in favor of these rights and around public politics, this last one that ensures and actualizes their social rights.

The aim of this work is to punctuate several forms of control used along the history of the western society, as well as it will verify the strategies of control used in societies in which the people are not reached integrally by the formal institutions of control (school, hospital, factory). To elucidate this case we bring like reference Brazil in which the inhabitants of the “favelas” and suburbs are a target of a set of security operations and participation promoted by a capitalism more flexible of the current society of control that it includes to govern and to be governed, where the forms of life are put in the epicenter of the political management besides the walls of the classic institutions when populations or groups are holding a cynical rationality as useful resource for the strategies of social construction of a reality for the control of some population or groups. To exemplify this question, we bring in this article a critical analysis of the National Program of Public Security with Citizenship (PRONASCI) in which we follow closely his application in the district Guajuviras, suburb of the city of Canoas-RS.

Incentives for Solidarity Economy issued during the last Brazilian federal governments (2002 - 2013) have fostered forms of being, (inter)acting and representing that, whilst positioning collective solidarity work as an alternative to capitalism, are in line with orders of discourse that legitimize and justify the same mode of production. This work aims to understand how discourses of collective solidarity enterprises’ workers contribute to reproducing the social order characteristic of the actual period of capitalism (since 1970). Discourses of workers of the Settlement Coqueirinho (Ceará) obtained through interviews and participant observation were analyzed using strategies based on Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) developed by Fairclough (2001, 2003 , 2005) and Fairclough e Chouliaraki (1999) and elements of the New Sociology of Capitalism by Boltanski and Chiapello (1999). The analysis shows that despite criticizing capitalism, the discourse of the workers operates to reproduce forms of representation, interaction and identity features of the system of justification that characterizes the new spirit of capitalism.

This article shares information about the concept of therapeutic community, from a high-profile experiment in the sixties in a psychiatric hospital in the city of Belo Horizonte, in Minas Gerais. The discussion arises from historical research entitled “Hospital Galba Velloso and the vicissitudes of history of psychiatric reform in the 60’s in Minas.” The methodology used in this research drew on oral sources and on the study of the hospital case sheets, setting an effort in the field of social psychology and history of psychology in order to contribute to the theme identified as the Brazilian Psychiatric Reform. Finally, it has been established the limitation of a traditional concept of asylum as a space or “locus” of therapeutic work. The hospital, on the other hand, has been indicated as a means of construction promoting a corporate psychiatry.

This paper’s main goal is make a discussion about a research that analyzed the group as a cultural tool in the knowledge building process. It was made considering the relation between group and mediated actions’ properties, having the cultural-historical Psychology as the theoretical foundation. An intervention research case study was made with an elementary school group of students; they were of both genders and have a 14 years old mean age. Five group meetings using a workshop methodology were held, using different activities it were analyzed the group dynamics and its operation. The study’s main conclusion indicates that the group can operate as a cultural tool, in other words, it can be a psychological instrument that mediates the human action (its participants’ actions). This process generates the knowledge building by the group domain. Besides, the facilitation group process can promote a mediated learning experience, thus making a propitious environment for the domain of other kind of mediated tools.
