Authors: Mbaluka Jane Hannah Mumbi , Ndeleva Dr. Benjamin M. , Rucha Dr. Kenneth K.
Published: March 2023

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to establish the Awareness and Knowledge on Cervical Cancer Screening Services Among Women Aged 30-49 Years In Kitui West Sub-County
Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study design was used. The study population was women aged 30-49 years of age. A Multi-stage cluster sampling technique, simple random sampling, proportionate sampling and systemic sampling was used to obtain 270 respondents from the study population. Data was collected using interviewer administered questionnaire to women aged 30-49 years in Kitui west sub-County. The study used quantitative research methods to obtain data from selected respondents. Quantitative data was collected using closed and open ended questionnaires. All interviews were done after obtaining approval from relevant bodies and consent from study respondents. Data from the respondents was analyzed using statistical package of social sciences (SPSS) in conjunction with Microsoft excel. The study used chi-square test calculated at 95% interval and a margin of 0.05% error to determine the relationship between dependent and independent study variables.
Results: The results found out that Majority of the participants 145 (53,7%) were aware of the cancer screening. There was a no significant relationship (p =0 .054) between the awareness and cervical cancer screening services among women aged 30-49 years. The study established that, majority 152 (56.3) of the respondents had low knowledge on cervical cancer and there was an association between knowledge on warning signs (p=0.001) and prevention of cervical cancer (p=0.002) and utilization of cervical cancer screening services.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study recommends the NGOs and other stakeholders addressing cervical cancer issues should ensure that when creating awareness on screening, they should organize events targeting women and thereafter offer free cervical cancer screening services. The Ministry of Health together with relevant stakeholders should tailor and scale up advocacy and health education seminars in the community to help improved transfer of correct knowledge on cervical cancer screening services thus signify importance of seeking such services early enough.
1929 BEAUTY CONTEST IN THE CONTEXT OF PUBLIC RELATIONS HISTORY
Authors: Utanir Sinem
Published: March 2023

Even though the beauty phenomenon always includes a subjective judgement, it is alwaysan important crossroads because it includes conceptualizations such as Westernizationand modernization in the institutionalization of beauty contests.Especially when we start to discuss over Turkey, external appearance -orientedexplanations in which the Westernization and modernization can easily be observed andwhich are our reference points drag us up to the beauty contests.The beauty contests, which can be examined as a symbol of social reconversion after thewar of Independence, were ignored in social sciences studies, in particular the habit ofreading through the window of History of Public Relations could not be established.These competitions are labeled with different disintegrations and different readings thatappear or do not appear since the publication of the Republic of Turkey. Beauty contestsand the reactions to them are an example of how even beauty might become politicizedand might become a political space where the views of the country are transmitted by themedia frames.In this study, the first official beauty contest organized by the Cumhuriyet Newspaper inyear 1929 is discussed within the scope of the history of Public Relations. In the study,articles, theses and various books were used regarding the subject. In addition, newspublished about the beauty contests at the Cumhuriyet and Hâkimiyeti Milliye 1(Domination of the Nation) (Ulus) newspapers during 1929, which constitute the basis ofthis study, were examined day by day and discussed within this context of the PublicRelations History

Authors: Kabura Mureithi , Handa Susan
Published: March 2023

Purpose: The objective of this study was to examine the impact of foreign aid on economic growth in Kenya.

Methodology: The study used a descriptive research technique and a time series approach to track economic growth in Kenya for 41 years, from the year 1980 to 2020. The study also adopted a census survey to collect secondary data by use of a secondary time series data template from the World Bank and KNBS databases in Kenya for the period 1980 to 2020.  The collected data was edited,  coded  and  analyzed  using  statistical  package  for  social  sciences  (SPSS).

Findings: The results of the study revealed that ODA, emergency & food aid, debt forgiveness and technical cooperation had a positive and significant relationship with economic growth(GDP). In addition, ODA, emergency & food aid and  debt forgiveness have a positive and significant impact on economic growth. However, technical cooperation had a negative and no significant impact on economic growth in Kenya

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study recommended that financial policymakers should come up with better strategies on the management of the foreign aid funds so as to ensure they are efficiently utilized. Financial policy makers should also consider foreign donors who can offer debt forgiveness aid since it will help Kenya in managing and reducing its debts.
Influence of Poverty on Streetism of Children in Dar Es Salaam and Dodoma Cities
Authors: Shitindi Jeston
Published: March 2023

Purpose: Tanzania has been implementing several initiatives to address the challenge of street children in the country. Despite such efforts, the child streetism has become the daily reality and has shown the sign of increasing. This dissertation is a study on the influence of poverty and family support on child streetism in urban Tanzania. Specifically, the study focused on analysing the lived experiences of street children; describing the influence of income poverty on streetism of children.

Methodology: The study adopted interpretivism research paradigm using descriptive cross-sectional design and inductive research approach. It involved a total of 38 informants who were purposively selected while the snowballing sampling technique was used in accessing street children. Semi-structured interview, documentary review and observation method were conducted.

Findings: Through thematic and content data analysis techniques, this study reveals that street children experienced difficulties in getting their basic needs and did not easily access health services when they fell sick. They also engaged into intra-violence among themselves. Further, child streetism has been largely influenced by income poverty. Regarding coping strategies, street children engaged into begging, unsafe sex and petty income-generating activities such as car wash and bottle collection. They also used self-medication to treat themselves when they fell sick or being left at the hospital buildings or on the street by their fellow street children when the condition got worse.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Additionally, they did not have any coping strategy to enroll themselves into the school. The study also revealed that vulnerability and rational choice perspectives must be used in exploring the lived experienced of street children instead of using the vulnerability perspective alone. The rational choice perspective explains, among others, why street children sustain street life hardships and difficulties instead of going back to their families.
Effect of Electricity Access on Electricity Consumption in Ghana
Authors: Yawa Joseph
Published: March 2023

Purpose: The importance of electricity infrastructure has encouraged countries to improve its access and enhance its consumption. Ghana has made a lot of improvement in expanding electricity infrastructure to its people. Yet, the actual effect of increasing electricity access on electricity consumption in Ghana is unknown. The main thrust of this paper was to estimate the effect of electricity access on the consumption of electricity in Ghana from 1990 to 2020.

Methodology: This study employed a Vector Error Correction model to estimate the effect of electricity access on electricity consumption using data from 1990 to 2020.

Findings: Results show that a one percent increase in access rate of electricity increases its consumption by 10.46 kwh per capita and 61.02 kwh per capita in the short-run and in the long-run respectively. Factors such as national income, population and the country’s human development index (HDI) were also found to be significant determinants of electricity consumption in Ghana.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: It is also recommended that policies that encourage education among women must be enhanced to reduce their child bearing years, reduce population growth and reduce pressure on electricity infrastructure.

Authors: George Kwizera
Published: March 2023

Purpose: The study was about the contribution of human capital on poverty reduction in rural areas of Uganda taking Kisoro district as a case study. In Uganda, poverty in rural areas had remained a challenge as depicted by 31 percent of population below poverty line as of financial year 2016/2017 (UBOS, 2018) having risen from 22.8 percent in financial year 2012/2013 (MoFPED, 2014). In Kisoro district, poverty was high as manifested by low household access to electricity (7.6%), piped water (33.7 %), high illiteracy levels, food insecurity, poor housing conditions where 84.6% of households lived in semi- permanent dwelling units (UBOS, 2017). The purpose of the study was to examine how human capital could contribute to poverty reduction in rural areas of Uganda taking in Kisoro district as a case study.

Methodology: The study was carried out in Kisoro district on 391 respondents against the targeted 400 which represented 97.8 % response rate. The respondents included farmers, district technical staff, business entrepreneurs, agricultural industrialists, political, religious and opinion leaders. The study triangulated both quantitative and qualitative approaches and a cross- sectional survey was used. Data collection methods used included: survey, interviews, observations and review of primary and secondary documents; while the tools used were self-administered questionnaires, interview guide, interview schedule, observation plan and its checklist, a camera and a recorder.

Findings: Education could significantly ensure rural poverty reduction in Kisoro district, with a positive and significant relationship between them (r = 0.415, p< 0.05). Education also explained 23.2% of the contribution on rural poverty reduction.Training had a significant effect on rural poverty reduction in Kisoro district with a positive and significant relationship between them (r = 0.267, p< 0.05). Training also explained 9.1% contribution to rural poverty reduction. There was significant relationship between human capital and rural poverty reduction in Kisoro district. It was concluded that human capital had a great contribution towards poverty reduction in rural areas. 

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study recommended that; public education, research and development, science and technology and enabling policies could sustainably be promoted for enhanced productivity, poverty reduction and development.
Linguistic analysis of phone interviews of Nobel laureates reveals differences in communication styles between economists and scientists
Authors: Chow Chun Wai , Hui Kit Ying , Lam Yun Wah
Published: March 2023

Language styles used by academics working in disciplines are different, possibly reflecting how different types of knowledge are conceived, communicated and taught. Most of the studies on the communication style of academics are based on analyses of pre-prepared academic writings and formal speeches. It is not known whether such differences in language styles are also practised in informal, colloquial communications. In this paper, we report a Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) analysis of the telephone interviews given by 82 Nobel Prize laureates in the fields of natural sciences (chemistry, physics, physiology, or medicine) and economic sciences. LIWC analysis identifies differences in usage frequency of words in various language categories. The result shows a higher use of money- and power-related words by economic laureates and a higher use of second-person pronouns among science laureates. When second-person pronouns were used, economic laureates tended to use them as a general reference, while scientists tended to use them as courtesy sentences or discourse markers. These observations indicate that different language styles are used by scholars of different research fields even in their impromptu verbal communications. It is possible that word choices by economists are influenced by the content of economic studies, which are concerned with influencing the external environment and by their preference in describing processes and actions. A more involved and high level of cautions, alertness, and precision in conversion may be indicated in the speaking style of natural scientists.
How Diabetes affects the outcome of COVID-19 Infection
Authors: Shekhtman Jessica , Sipe David
Published: March 2023

Current literature considers that individuals who have Type 1 and 2 diabetes are a vulnerable group and are at great risk of contracting COVID-19, risking increased complications, and higher mortality rates. Insufficient scientific research data can result in uncertain conclusions. Due to great necessity for quantitative descriptions of trends and predictions, researchers were forced to make assumptions to fill data gaps. The goal of this paper was to minimize uncertainty in the reviewed data outcomes. Varying results could have occurred from lack of research details, confounding factors, and assumptions made throughout data analysis. To resolve these issues, our study is composed of three parts: biological analysis of COVID-19 infection, summary of multiple sources to demonstrate data correlation, consistency with biological conclusions, and quantitative characterization. This study compares calculations of mortality odds ratio (OR) and hazard ratio (HR) fully adjusted for other comorbidities and those not fully adjusted for other comorbidities. Overall diabetes OR not fully adjusted is 3.85, and the fully adjusted one is 1.28. The Type 1 diabetes OR not fully adjusted is 3.51, and the fully adjusted one is 2.39 – 2.86. The Type 2 diabetes OR not fully adjusted is 2.03, and the fully adjusted one is 1.37-1.8. With age, mortality rates for diabetics increase significantly, especially with the presence of other underlying conditions. As an example, the HR calculated for individuals with impaired renal function - eGFR <15 in Type 1 diabetics is 8.35, and in Type 2 diabetics is 4.91.
A Case for Audit Automation: Evidence from Auditing Literature and an Internship During the Pandemic
Authors: Abernathy Ann
Published: March 2023

External auditing is the branch of accounting where an independent accounting firm examines an organization’s financial records and provides a reasonable level of assurance that the financial statements are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. This is crucial to organizations in order to make a company’s financial records and, therefore, its economic condition clear and understandable both to its managers and to potential investors. The aim of this research is to examine the auditing profession and its technological advancements, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, and determine whether the remote nature of audit work since 2020 has been beneficial or detrimental. The research process consisted of review of prior research sources combined with knowledge obtained from firsthand experience in an accounting firm during the pandemic. The conclusion of this research suggests that the new methods were overall advantageous to auditors. Although some audit procedures may still require traditional methods in order to be most dependable, many auditors should consider permanent adoption of the new methods.
Estrogenic Potencies of Phytoestrogens Commonly Found in Soybean (Glycine Max) Assessed by use of MMV-Luc Cell Line Bioassay
Authors: Ngoda Peninah Njiraine , Elliot Christopher , Connolly Lisa
Published: March 2023

Purpose: Phytoestrogens (PE) are weakly estrogenic compounds synthesized in plants, especially in climatic adversity. The endocrine disruptive activity of PEs and some of their human metabolites are of concern as they have been associated with positive and more so negative health effects.

Methodology: The transcriptional activities (TAs) of ten PEs (apigenin, daidzein, daidzin, equol, enterodiol, formononetin, genistein, genistin, glycitein, and matairesinol) were measured as induction of the expressed luciferase activity which is correlates with biological effects. These effects were compared to transcription caused by 17β-estradiol (5 nM) hormone (standards) in vitro. This was done by the use of estrogenic receptors in the MMV-Luc cell line using a reporter gene assay tool. 

Findings: Standard curves for hormone standards were determined and the EC50 for 17β-estradiol was (4.5 x 10-11M). The order of PEs potency for the ER (ERα and ERβ)  in the MMV-Luc cell line, as determined from the EC50s (M) of their dose-response curves were in the following order: equol (4.9 x 10-7M) > formononetin (5.7 x 10-6M) > apigenin(2.4 x 10-6M) > genistein (2.1 x 10-6M ) > daidzein(3.3 x 10-5M).  Standard curves for the rest were not achieved in the MMV-Luc cell line at the tested concentrations. The % estrogenic potencies of these compounds varied from 9 x 10-3M for equol to 1.4 x 10-4M for daidzein, relative to 17β-estradiol whose percent potency was arbitrarily assigned a value of 100. This study successfully characterized the TA of ten PEs in MMV-Luc cell lines. By achieving and exceeding a full estrogenic effect in MMV-Luc cells, it was indicative that the phytoestrogen transcriptive activity was most likely through non-receptor mechanisms such as enzymatic pathways.

Recommendations: Although the potential for endocrine disruption by PE was noted in vitro, this study would recommend further in vivo tests. This is because toxicokinetics involving metabolism and bioavailability affects the potencies of the PEs. Further in vitro assays may be designed to investigate the additive effects of phytoestrogens at physiologically relevant concentrations.

GENETIC DIVERSITY AND PHYLOGENETICS OF FOUR RELEASED COWPEA (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp) VARIETIES (FUAMPEA-1, FUAMPEA-2, FUAMPEA-3 AND FUAMPEA-4) USING SIMPLE SEQUENCE REPEATS MARKERS
Authors: Osuagwu Ann Nnenna
Published: March 2023

Cowpea improvement has continued to play key roles in the quest for national food security. This work elucidated the molecular genetic diversity and phylogenetics among four released cowpea varieties (FUAMPEA-1, FUAMPEA-2, FUAMPEA-3 AND FUAMPEA-4). DNA was extracted from 14 day old seedlings using the CTAB method. A total of nine (9) SSR (Simple Sequence Repeats) markers were employed in DNA amplifications. Binary matrix was generated from banding profiles of gel images and uploaded into the Minitab 17.0 software for analysis.  Polymorphic Information Content (PIC) was computed for the primers and cowpea varieties. Cluster analysis was carried out using the Single Linkage method measured on Euclidean Distance. Four primers (CLM1190, CLM0342, RB38 and RB7) produced maximum of two bands each resulting in 15.4% polymorphism and 0.977 Polymorphism Information Content (PIC). Varietal Polymorphic Content (VPC) varied from 15.4% in FUAMPEA-2 as the lowest to 38.5% in FUAMPEA-1 as the highest.  FUAMPEA-1 had the lowest genetic similarity index (19.82).  Dendrogram further showed that FUAMPEA-2 and FUAMPEA-3 were more closely related than others with about 46.55 similarity index. Therefore, FUAMPEA-1 was the most divergent and genetically diverse variety followed by FUAMPEA-4.  These are potential genetic resource material that can used to develop more cultivars when their inherent agronomic traits and genes coding for the traits are identified and tapped.

Sabe-se que a água contaminada por coliformes é um dos meio mais importantes para a transmissão das chamadas doenças diarreicas agudas ou também descritas como gastroenterite aguda, sendo cada vez mais debatido o monitoramento dos recursos hídricos, principalmente para agentes virais, apontado como um dos principais causadores de quadros de gastroenterite aguda os rotavírus. Nesse sentido, o estudo teve como objetivo descrever a importância do monitoramento ambiental dos recursos hídricos para o rotavírus no combate as gastroenterites agudas. Se trata de um estudo qualitativo, no formato de revisão narrativa, com o levantamento de evidências em diferentes bases indexadoras, referente ao período de 2017 a 2022, tornando possível apresentar mais perspectivas sobre a problemática. A busca resultou no total de 1.179 achados, posteriormente realizou-se a leitura crítica dos estudos e selecionou-se 62 estudos que ajudaram a sintetizar os tópicos. Conclui-se que o monitoramento dos diferentes recursos hídricos é de extrema importância, visto os altos índices de casos de gastroenterite agudas, principalmente em crianças menores de cinco anos, sendo um importante fator para a mortalidade infantil ao redor do mundo, se destacando que países em desenvolvimento são os que mais sofrem os impactos gerados por doenças de veiculação hídrica como as infecções por rotavírus. Além disso, o Brasil apresenta um comportamento que vai de contra os esforços internacionais para a melhoria da qualidade de água onde se observa o maior impacto na região norte que sofre com altos índices de doenças de veiculação hídrica como a gastroenterite.
Do Vaccines’ Announcements Cure Stock Market Volatility? Evidence From the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Markets

COVID-19 has been impacting stock markets worldwide. Yet, a scant amount of research
has been done on the stock markets of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) markets. In this work, we aim to investigate whether and to what extent local and international events linked to the COVID-19 outbreak have impacted stock market volatility of the GCC countries. We model stocks’ returns of these countries between January and December 2020, decomposing the errors’ heteroskedasticity to account for main international and local events related to COVID-19. These events have been included as structural breaks and measured using dichotomous variables. Both local and international events were found to be associated with significant variations in volatility; however, local events seem to have impacted volatility to a lesser extent compared to international events. The announcement of the status of pandemic by the WHO had the greatest impact on volatility across the GCC markets, even greater than the impact associated to the drop in oil prices. The announcement of local approval of vaccine led to a reduction in volatility in UAE (ADX), Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.
Traduzir a poesia

Trata-se de uma conferência, posteriormente publicada no livro Enseigner les œuvres littéraires en traduction (2006), organizado por Yves Chevrel, em que o autor reflete sobre a tradução de poesia e sua pretensa impossibilidade. Seguindo uma perspectiva histórica, são apresentados exemplos retirados de autores canônicos da literatura italiana, francesa, alemã, além de clássicos gregos e latinos, de modo a evidenciar a relação dialética entre original e tradução, particularmente, no que tange a textos poéticos.
Seis sonetos franceses de Sergio Milliet (Par le sentier, 1917)
Authors: Pinheiro Valter Cesar
Published: March 2023

O presente artigo tem por objetivo apresentar seis sonetos publicados no livro de estreia de Sérgio Milliet, Par le sentier (1917), no original e acompanhados de tradução. Se não primam pela criatividade, tais sonetos revelam um jovem e sensível escritor que não apenas tinha boas noções do fazer poético em voga no sistema literário francês, mas também familiaridade com a obra de autores menos conhecidos dos leitores de hoje, como Albert Samain. Não obstante tenha abandonado a escrita em língua francesa quando de seu retorno definitivo ao Brasil em 1925, Sérgio Milliet guardará dessa experiência literária um repertório que será continuamente acionado em sua crítica. A apresentação dos poemas é precedida de alguns comentários acerca dessa obra inaugural e é sucedida de uma breve análise das estratégias de tradução.

Uma viagem fluvial inusitada converte-se num ensaio sobre atradução literária e a poesia. Durante o que parece ser apenas um dia deverão, a água trabalha no nadador como se fosse uma lente, condensandoanos inteiros de sua vida. Quando o caminho se transforma em pena, a águaé o veículo mais apropriado para o retorno do homem à casa, protegendo-odo tempo dilatado e paralelo, resguardando-o da penúria e da intempérie.Inspirado em O Nadador, dirigido por Frank Perry, primeiro filme que oescritor egípcio-italiano Fabio Morábito assistiu no México, este ensaio nosoferece uma perspectiva única sobre o processo do traduzir.
A tradução entre o dialogismo, a cultura e a comparação
Authors: Vieira de Camargo Grillo Sheila
Published: March 2023

A experiência de verter ao português textos científicos de Mikhail Bakhtin e do Círculo nos motivou a elaborar uma reflexão teórica sobre a atividade de traduzir por meio da articulação de três domínios teóricos: os conceitos de perspectivismo e de multinaturalismo do antropólogo brasileiro Eduardo Viveiros de Castro; os conceitos de dialogismo, de distanciamento, de extralocalização, de excedente de conhecimento e de inconclusibilidade do pensador russo Mikhail Bakhtin; e o princípio da comparação da análise comparativa de discursos de Patricia von Münchow. A comparação atravessa e articula esses três domínios, que, juntos, propiciam uma compreensão do traduzir como diálogo de culturas inconclusas que apontam para mundos diversos e se transformam nesse encontro.

Published: March 2023

Introduction

The research aimed to study the intensity of arm swing exercise (ASE) with different tempi of music-movement synchrony in untrained young adults and to investigate the effect of different music tempi on heart rate and oxygen consumption.

Methods

Participants were 30 healthy volunteers (15 males and 15 females), 20.67 ± 1.37 years and low-to-moderate physical activity. They performed ASE synchronised with music at a tempo of 60 and 140 bpm with a random sequence. They were measured for heart rate and oxygen consumption using a Quark SPIRO (COSMED) before and after the ASE for 6 minutes of each tempo. They rested for at least 15 minutes between music tempi during the ASE. The intensity of ASE with music-movement synchrony of each tempo was calculated as a percentage of maximum heart rate (%HRmax) and percentage maximum oxygen consumption (%VO2max).

Results

The %HRmax of all participants post-ASE at 60 and 140 bpm were 58.64 ± 8.82 and 60.12 ± 8.95%, respectively. The %VO2max of all participants post-ASE at 60 and 140 bpm were 38.65 ± 11.36 and 40.17 ± 10.71%, respectively. There was no significant difference in HR and VO2 of ASE between music tempi.

Conclusions

The ASE with music-movement synchrony at 60 and 140 bpm is a low-intensity aerobic exercise, so is a suitable choice for people with low physical activity. Furthermore, the faster tempo did not significantly alter the intensity, therefore, we recommend selecting the slower music tempo at 60 bpm to avoid repetitive shoulder joint injury.

A Filosofia Política Neoplatônica de Juliano, o Rei-filósofo
Authors: Oliveira Bruno Camilo de
Published: March 2023

O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar a influência do pensamento de Plotino na filosofia política do imperador romano Juliano, entre os anos de 361 a 363. A metodologia consiste em selecionar trechos das obras de Juliano Misopogon e Cartas y fragmentos que possam indicar a influência das ideias da Enéada de Plotino no discurso proferido pelo imperador para legitimar o seu poder político. Juliano argumenta que as leis do império foram criadas pelos deuses para a organização da vida humana, de modo que a obediência aos deuses necessariamente requer uma obediência a essas leis. De acordo com Juliano, o conhecimento ou epistéme sobre as leis do império é condicionado à fuga da realidade sensível em nome da realidade espiritual, em que o governante sábio também precisa transcender o corpo para conhecer e obedecer às leis divinas. Assim, após a análise dos argumentos de Juliano busca-se refletir sobre a viabilidade do sistema político adotado por ele, principalmente se for considerada a recepção de suas ideias pelos governantes do século XX em diante.
A presença do manual escolar no ensino de filosofia: em tempo de pandemia

Published: March 2023

O presente texto tem por objetivo analisar a presença do manual escolar no ensino de filosofia: em tempo de pandemia. Os avanços da covid-19 provocaram rupturas no processo de ensino-aprendizagem que privam o convívio social, construindo barreiras na formação sócio-política-cultural em processo nas instituições educacionais das nações. Tais instituições tornaram espaços solitários, e os professores mesmo convivendo com os medos contemporâneos da pandemia, procuram restabelecer conexões e propiciar uma prática pedagógica em consonância aos protocolos. No ensino de filosofia os desafios percorrem a história da educação, além da centralidade dos manuais escolares (ausência de recursos didáticos), faz necessário retomar discussão primordiais, como (re)posicionar da filosofia na Educação Básica.
Sontag/Ricœur: metaforicidade, patologia e disputas retóricas
Authors: Sanfelice Vinicius Oliveira
Published: March 2023

O objetivo deste artigo é comparar a defesa do discurso poético que Paul Ricœur faz em sua teoria da metáfora “viva” e a crítica de Susan Sontag ao uso de metáforas na descrição de patologias. Ao retirar a produtividade das metáforas do âmbito de análise do discurso poético e colocá-la no âmbito da disputa retórica pela doença, Sontag questiona tal produtividade sem negá-la. Enfatizar a manipulabilidade de metáforas aponta a raiz comum da produtividade que Ricœur e Sontag partilham ao escolher Aristóteles como ponto de partida, respectivamente, para a defesa e para a crítica de figuras poéticas e retóricas do discurso. Este artigo analisa como essas interpretações do poder e uso de metáforas estão relacionadas com um conflito entre ontologia e epistemologia encontrado na obra filosófica de Ricœur e na obra filosófica e literária de Sontag. O artigo também aborda uma modelo de compreensão metafórica que aponta o uso nocivo de metáforas como causa de situações de injustiça hermenêutica.
