2 - Higher Education in South Africa: Market Mill or Public Good?
Authors: Vally Salim
Published: July 2023

This paper argues that current trends in higher education entail a disincentive for universities to enrol students from poor backgrounds and the continuing reproduc- tion of a highly elitist system. The perception of success in the marketplace, shrink- ing allocations to education, and a discourse of efficiency and competitiveness have sidelined previous commitments to access, equity and genuine transformation. These developments follow a global market utopia which sees higher education as a com- modity, emphasising a new managerialism spurred on by ‘by market-driven notions of competition, privatisation and consumption that adopt corporate models of man- agement in order to reduce costs and maximise profits’ (Baatjes 2005:29). I draw our attention to the urgency of tasks necessary to prevent the further corporatisation of higher education institutions. Unfulfilled promises by the state and the enormity of tasks ahead can result in a temptation to despair on the part of those who perceive of a different higher education system. The inroads of neo-liberalism, of markets and individualism over social justice, community and solidarity, create new moral imperatives. It is ‘part of a more general re-working of education as a sphere of ethical practice – a commodification of education and values which allows us to systematically neglect the outcomes of policy and practices – a demoralisation of society’ (Ball 2003:25). In this situation, education degenerates into a lucrative market opportunity for capital. However, drawing on my keynote address to the 12th World Congress on Comparative Education in Havana, Cuba, I argue for the cultivation of hope in conjunction with the conviction that there is space for social action. I conclude by arguing that this is essential, since education for the commonweal is too important to be left in the hands of business, and the whims and vicissitudes of the market place.
4 - The Private Provision of Higher Education in Ethiopia: Growth, Challenges, and Prospects*
Authors: Nwuke Kasirim
Published: July 2023

Since the overthrow of the Derg in 1991, the government of Ethiopia has em- barked on a number of reforms of the higher education sector. These reforms have been driven by the need to address geographical and structural imbalances in the higher education system, the increasingly sophisticated demand of both the public and expanding private sector for high quality employees, and the chang- ing context of international economic competition. The key elements of these reforms are: expanding access; addressing the geographical distribution of ac- cess; improving quality; and encouraging competition in the provision of higher education by allowing private provision. Since these reforms were enacted, the private higher education sector has grown significantly, providing both enhanced access to higher education and diversification of the higher education curricula. The emergence of a pluralistic higher education sector presents threats and op- portunities and has, as a consequence, generated considerable public policy de- bate in the country. However, there has been very little analysis of the sector to serve as a basis for decision-making. This paper seeks to provide information on the private higher education sector in Ethiopia by examining the general characteristics of the private provision sector and its contribution to expanding access and on the creation of new knowl- edge through research. It also examines the likely impact of plural providers on quality and the policy options adopted by the government. The analysis shows that the private sector is making a significant contribution to the expansion of higher education in Ethiopia, especially with respect to expanding access to women and the production of intermediate-level technical skills that the expanding Ethio- pian economy needs. Secondly, due to the relatively small size of private provid- ers and the tight regulatory restrictions on the types of courses and programmes that they offer, private higher education is unlikely to threaten the average qual- ity of higher education in Ethiopia in the short term. Concerns at this time about quality may be premature. However, due to capital and capacity constraints, the scope of the sector to contribute to the creation of new knowledge is limited. Finally, the paper argues that the future of private provision in Ethiopia depends critically on the growth of the public sector. In the short to medium term, it is the public higher education sector that will provide the bulk of the skills needed to staff the private provision sector. It will also depend on the growth of the Ethio- pian economy, on the policies of the government especially in respect of expan- sion of the public provision sector, on the behaviour, performance and conduct of public higher education institutions and on the easing of regulatory restrictions. The paper also points to the need for additional research to better understand the constraints and possibilities of the sector.

1 - Introduction: Student Activism, Structural Adjustment and the Democratic Transition in Africa
Authors: Zeilig Leo , Dawson Marcelle
Published: July 2023

University students in the period following independence were a transitory social group, who held well-founded expectations of rewarding and high-status employ- ment after graduation. In the 1970s many of these assurances began to erode as countries that had attempted to implement state-led development faced interna- tional recession and internal corruption and decay. State funding of higher educa- tion by the late 1970s was being targeted for restructuring by the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Student activism was affected: while stu- dents clung onto a self-conscious elitism, the reality of student poverty and the financial crises of African universities transformed their activism. As well as see- ing their status as a privileged group collapse, there was an unprecedented ‘con- vergence of forces’ between students and the popular classes. This introduction surveys the role of students, the nature of their protest and their relationship with civil society in the processes that brought about a wave of multi-party elections and democratic struggles in Africa. The article critically intervenes in some of the most important debates on the role of student activism on the continent and intro- duces the contributions in this special issue devoted to student activism.
3 - ‘We no go sit down’: CAFA and the Struggle Against Structurally Adjusted Education in Africa
Authors: Alidou Ousseina , Caffentzis George , Federici Silvia
Published: July 2023

This paper is a short history of the Committee for Academic Freedom in Africa (CAFA) since its founding in 1991 to the present. It describes CAFA documenta- tion of the formation of an Africa-wide student movement against the structural adjustment of African universities. It also details some of CAFA’s campaigns in defence of student struggles against both the World Bank’s role in propagating the introduction of tuition fees and the cutting of housing and food subsidies to stu- dents and the repressive action of the African governments against protesting students. We argue that academic freedom also includes the right to be involved in the production of knowledge and hence to have access to the means of its produc- tion. To deny Africans such a right in this period in history is to condemn them to the fate of being the damned of the earth once more and to put the ability of Africans to manage their own resources in peril.
Réforme LMD au Maghreb : éléments pour un premier bilan politique et pédagogique
Authors: Ahmed Ghouati
Published: July 2023

Trois ans après l’élargissement du processus de Bologne au Maghreb – en Algérie, au Maroc et plus récemment en Tunisie – , un premier bilan est-il possible ?Les principaux acteurs institutionnels et décideurs se sont rencontrés en décembre 2006 pour dresser leur propre bilan. Politiquement, le processus a été jugé réussi. C’est pourquoi, faute de résultats quantitatifs et qualitatifs pédagogiques tangibles, les responsables ont convenu d’approfondir politiquement le processus à travers la création d’un Collège Académique Francophone Euro-Maghrébin (CAUFEM). Ce collège a entre autres fonctions de suivre et d’harmoniser les réformes en cours, en particulier la réforme LMD.
Néanmoins, sur un plan pédagogique, à partir du peu de statistiques disponibles et d’appréciations qualitatives recueillies auprès d’universitaires maghrébins, il nous semble que cette réforme est loin d’avoir le succès escompté auprès des étudiants et des enseignants. D’où l’hypothèse selon laquelle le processus de Bologne est plus destiné à intégrer, par le haut et par des arguments d’autorité, l’espace maghrébin d’enseignement supérieur et de recherche à l’espace européen. Cette intégration veut faciliter la mobilité dans le sens Sud-Nord afin d’enrichir le vivier européen en Travailleurs Hautement Qualifiés et permettre un contrôle du champ universitaire et son orientation en fonction d’objectifs politique et économique définis en dehors des principaux acteurs des systèmes d’enseignement supérieur.
L’adoption du « système LMD » par les universités du Cameroun : enjeux, contraintes et perspectives
Authors: Yves Bertrand Djouda Feudjio
Published: July 2023

Le système LMD présente aujourd’hui des enjeux importants pour la communauté universitaire internationale. Il marque une avancée réelle de l’internationalisation et de la globalisation de l’Enseignement supérieur. L’appropriation efficace de ce processus de Bologne s’annonce pourtant bien difficile pour les universités africaines « mal préparées », dominées encore par des conditions structurelles précaires. Un diagnostic sociologique des universités du Cameroun montre par exemple que malgré la volonté politique et l’engouement des responsables académiques, l’adoption du modèle LMD apparaît être bien « prématurée ». L’environnement universitaire camerounais reste « éclaté » et précaire, dominé par un embrigadement politique des libertés académiques. Une adoption juste et efficace du système LMD au Cameroun doit être précédée d’une indispensable « purification académique ». Une mauvaise appropriation du modèle LMD peut aboutir plutôt à un assujettissement et à un affaiblissement de l’Enseignement supérieur camerounais et africain.
Le système L.M.D (Licence-Master-Doctorat) en Algérie : de l’illusion de la nécessité au choix de l’opportunité
Authors: Nouria Benghabrit-Remaoun  , Zoubida Rabahi-Senouci
Published: July 2023

Deux grandes réformes, depuis l’indépendance, ont marqué l’évolution de l’Université algérienne : celle de 1971 et celle de 2003.
La réforme de 1971 avait pour finalité de former le maximum de cadres « immédiatement opérationnels, au moindre coût et répondre aux besoins exprimés » par le secteur utilisateur. Pour cela, .une refonte de l’enseignement et des diplômes et une reconversion des enseignants ont été nécessaires, en prenant en compte les profils de formation déterminés en accord avec le secteur utilisateur. La mise en place de cette réforme a permis un accès plus grand à l’enseignement supérieur et des réponses plus pertinentes aux besoins de la société. Depuis lors, un certain nombre de réaménagements ont amené l’université jusqu’en 2004 à des changements provoqués par des transformations radicales du point de vue socio-économique, notamment le passage d’une économie administrée à une économie de marché.
Depuis cette date, dans le souci de s’inscrire dans les tendances générées par la mondialisation, une volonté d’harmonisation, telle qu’exprimée à Bologne avec les objectifs affirmés « de création d’un marché commun de diplômes pour faciliter la mobilité des étudiants ainsi que la création d’un marché commun du travail, pour faciliter la mobilité des diplômés avec la notion d’employabilité », ce qui impliquait la nécessaire pertinence des formations par rapport au marché de l’emploi. La mise en œuvre du schéma de la réforme dite LMD, impose son inscription dans un contexte économique et social qui précise la nature des diplômes dans le cadre d’une carte universitaire des offres de formation. Or, entrée comme par effraction, mais présentée comme une nécessité, la réforme des enseignements supérieurs dite réforme LMD, navigue à vue et l’incertitude accompagne la mise en place du processus.

En nous référant aux textes réglementaires et aux perceptions qu’ont les acteurs des changements introduits, nous tenterons d’identifier les paradoxes engendrés par la mise place du système LMD.

L’enseignement supérieur au Maroc : de l’autonomie à la dépendance ?
Authors: Ahmed Ghouati
Published: July 2023

La perte d’autonomie de l’enseignement supérieur marocain a commencé sous le protectorat avec la création d’une nouvelle filière pour la formation et le recrutement de l’élite. Ensuite, elle s’est confirmée après l’indépendance quand l’Etat a instrumentalisé l’enseignement supérieur aussi bien originel que moderne pour ses propres besoins. Certes, comparativement aux premières années d’indépendance, l’ensemble de l’enseignement supérieur a connu un développement quantitatif et qualitatif significatif. Cependant, il reste marqué par une dualité qui défavorise le secteur non sélectif (ouvert) en général et l’Université en particulier. Cette dernière institution est accusée d’être une « usine à chômeurs ». Or malgré une professionnalisation accrue des formations et diplômes notamment après la généralisation de la réforme LMD, le chômage des diplômés est toujours élevé.
Cherchant à rentrer davantage dans l’économie de la connaissance, l’Etat a mis en place un nouveau plan « d’urgence » (2009-2012) de développement du secteur de l’enseignement supérieur et de la recherche. Mais comment développer un secteur (celui de la recherche), alors que l’économie locale ne le sollicite pas ? A travers l’insistance sur la relation recherche-entreprise, l’Etat ne masque-t-il pas finalement son dirigisme politique et économique du secteur pour le soumettre à des normes extérieures ?
Academic Freedom and Dual Career Academic Couples: The Complexities of Being a Woman Academic in the University Space
Authors: Chinyere Ukpokolo
Published: July 2023

This study focuses on dual career women academics in a higher education (HE) institution in Nigeria. It explores the experiences of some of these women academics and exposes the internal dynamics that characterize intra-group interactions in the academe. It subsequently raises the issue of equitable participation of men and women academics in HE institutions in Africa. It attempts to understand how the constructed identities of dual career women academics intersect with their interactions in the university space, and im- pact on their career experiences. Paying attention to the marital institution also, this study explores how these women’s academic freedom can be un- dermined by the power play in this arena, bearing in mind their categoriza- tion. The study thus identifies the areas in which the autonomy and aca- demic freedom of women academics in dual career marriages are possibly undermined. Ethnographic methods provided data for this study. The article concludes that the challenge of academic freedom demands more inward examination of the ‘micro politics within’ in order to incorporate the interests of all stakeholders within the intellectual community in the struggle for aca- demic freedom and academic democracy in the continent of Africa.

The Academy and its Disengagement from Popular Struggles in Kenya
Authors: Godwin R. Murunga
Published: July 2023

This is a study of the academy and its disengagement from popular struggles in Kenya. Focusing attention on the role of faculty unions and student associations, the study identifies and describes the trajectory of engagement and concludes that the current conjuncture tends more towards disengagement from popular struggles by unions and associations, many of which are consumed by daily struggles for staff and student welfare and nothing else. Thus the pattern has moved from active participation in popular struggles against authoritarian one-party rule to the current phase in which the terrain of higher education is at a crossroads. Academics and students remain disengaged from everyday political struggles in society and the possibilities of a re-composition of the student movement and faculty union are many. The study explains why the potential for greater involvement of universities as change agents in the diverse struggles for social justice remain under-utilised.
Assessment of Marrubium vulgare hydro-alcoholic extract’s biological activities
Authors: Mulondo Samuel , Laassami Affaf , Kimbugwe Muzamiru , Chelghoum Hayet
Published: July 2023

Marrubium vulgare is a tall, robust herbaceous perennial plant originating from Asia and Mediterranean and currently distributed throughout North, South America, Europe, Mediterranean and west Asia. M.vulgare thrives in any type of the soil but it prefers light calcareous, dry soils where it is sunny and warm at an altitude between 1500 –2400 m. This plant is becoming increasingly important because it is currently cultivated in different countries to be used as a source of medicine and food flavors. Also,it has more than 54 different phytocompounds such as polyphenols, monoterpenes, diterpenes and essential oils. Marrubin was the first isolated diterpenes and it’s characterized as the chemotaxonomic marker for the genus Marrubium. According to different studies, these compounds are responsible for antioxidant, antimicrobial, antifungal, analgesic, and anti-inflammatory, wound healing and anthelmintic activities. Due to these biological activities, hydroalcoholic extracts of Marrubim vulgare have been exploited for their therapeutic nature by traditional healers to cure several illnesses in Algeria. This review is to assess the different studies of hydroalcoholic extracts of Marrubium vulgare for different biological activities.
Evaluation of the zootechnical performance of broiler chicken at the level of different types of breeding in Algeria
Authors: Lamari Sara
Published: July 2023

The objective of this work was to study the influence of livestock farming type on the performance of broilers chickens (COBB 500 strains) in the semi-arid region of Sétif in Algeria.  It has been determined the zootechnical parameters of chickens (live weight (g), Average daily gain, Consumption Index, Mortality) for control of livestock farming type. Indeed, the growth of broiler chickens was influenced by livestock farming type; the live weight and the average daily gain respectively were linked to livestock farming type (p < 0.05). Whereas the consumption Index was close to the meaning (p=009). Broiler chickens of larges breeders had more growth performance with heavy carcasses (2872, 22±251,39 g), the more the average daily gain (61,94±7,23 g/day), and better consumption index (1,76 ± 0,16) at 47 days of age. The mortality rate, in fact, is high and exceeds 10%. The efforts must be concentrated on equipping buildings, hygiene rules and health programs, strengthening the training of the human factor to obtain the best performance from the broiler chicken: a low mortality rate, better weight growth and an improved consumption index

Published: July 2023

Aim:
Healthcare resources usage and costs associated to nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) were analyzed in Spain.
Methods:
This is an observational and retrospective study on patients with NVAF who started their treatment with apixaban or acenocoumarol between 1 January 2015 and 31 December 2017.
Results:
2160 patients treated with apixaban were paired (1:1) with patients treated with acenocoumarol (propensity score matching). Apixaban reduced the incidence of strokes and systemic embolisms, minor and major bleedings and deaths, versus acenocoumarol. Apixaban led to reductions of 80, 55 and 43% in costs related to nursing visits, hospitalizations, and emergency visits, respectively, leading to annual cost savings of €274/patient, from the perspective of society.
Conclusion:
Our results suggested that apixaban is a cost-effective alternative for patients with NVAF.

Published: July 2023

Ciência, Tecnologia, Engenharia e Matemática (STEM) são áreas cruciais para o desenvolvimento socioeconômico do Brasil que sofrem com a falta de diversidade. Neste artigo, analisamos a participação feminina no Ensino Superior em STEM de 2010 a 2019 usando a metodologia SAGA da UNESCO. Os resultados mostram que a participação feminina em STEM aumentou de 29,5% para 33,7% no período. Nesse ritmo, levaria 24 anos para atingir o limite mínimo de paridade (45%). Concluímos que, mesmo com mudanças positivas no período, o Ensino Superior em STEM no Brasil ainda apresenta desafios consideráveis de igualdade de gênero que demandam a atenção de diversos atores sociais para melhorarem de forma mais acelerada.

This paper addresses the public Orthodox identity of the Muscovite ruling family during the late 15th century, by focusing on the case of Elena Ivanovna (1474/6–1513), daughter of Ivan III of Moscow and wife of Alexander Jagiellon of Lithuania. Through an analysis of the diplomatic correspondence between the grand prince of Moscow and his daughter, it discusses the implications Elena’s religious identity had both on an individual level and for the image of the Muscovite dynastic identity.
ROADIES: AN ETHNOGRAPHY OF DIGITALISATION OF INEQUALITIES AND PRECARISATION IN FOOD COURIERS
Authors:   Democracy Institute, Central European University, Macquarie Julius- Cezar
Published: July 2023

Food couriers working the evening and nighttime shifts are a special case of platform‑mediated work, and an under‑researched category of contracted workers in the digitalised platform economy. Drawing on a night ethnography, the paper focuses on the strategic role that migrant and non‑migrant gig workers play in supporting communities in four cities: Bucharest and Oradea in Romania, and Cork in Ireland. London, the fourth locality, is the “glocturnal” city in Europe, with a long history of immigration and an exceptional status due to its high demand for migrant workers 24/7. This ethnographic account aims to impact the emerging field in the digitalisation of labour migration and contribute to debates on digitalisation of inequalities and precarisation of nightworkers.
The Historical Semantics of the Contemporary Classical Education Movement
Authors: Ellis Erik Z. D. ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: July 2023

As contemporary classical education continues maturing as a pedagogical tradition, an institutional reality, and an academic tradition, the need has grown to clarify the nature of the project and to understand how it relates to the past. The classical education movement, which seeks to encourage human flourishing by studying and imitating the past, uses an unstable terminology to describe itself. Some speak of a “Renaissance,” others work toward what they call a “Renewal,” and still others conceive of the project in terms of a “Recovery.” In using these terms, contemporary educators and writers, knowingly or not, reenact historiographical debates about the nature of Western culture and embrace differing opinions about the meaning of the term “classical” and consequently, about what period or periods of the past are worthy of imitation. This article seeks to clarify the history of these terms, delineate how the process of cultural emulation works, and encourage classical educators to come to a deeper appreciation of the past as they chart a course for the future of their disciplines.
Shifting Demographics and Economic Performance: Unraveling the Influence of Population Aging on GDP Dynamics and Regional Inequalities
Authors: Santos Eleonora
Published: July 2023

Understanding the economic trends and demographic dynamics of a country is crucial for policymakers and researchers to formulate effective strategies and policies. This study aims to examine the GDP trends and aging index dynamics in Portugal from 2011 to 2021, with a focus on regional disparities and their implications for demographic challenges. The findings highlight the relationship between regional GDP and the aging index, indicating that regions with higher GDP values tend to have a relatively younger population, while regions with lower GDP values have a relatively older population. The study contributes to the existing literature on population aging by providing insights into the demographic, economic, and social implications of an aging society. It provides valuable insights into the demographic, economic, and social implications of population aging in Portugal. The findings contribute to the existing literature and can inform policymakers and stakeholders in developing targeted strategies and policies to address the specific challenges faced by each region.

Authors: Andani Sahrul
Published: July 2023

This study examines the Gunungn philosophy in the implementation of wayang kuliuit in terms of an Islamic perspective. This type of research is qualitative research which describes data using a series of sentences. The method used in this research is descriptive method. The results of this study show that in Islam, the sentence of shahadah is the key to Heaven towards the salvation of the world and the hereafter. A Muslim must adhere to the principles of Islamic teachings to be successful in life. In wayang, new Islamic values are built, not changing standard stories. Walisongo created a new character in the Mahabarata and Ramayana stories with an Islamic social vision through the behavior of the punakawan. Wayang kulit introduces Islam through wayang displays with religious values inserted after adopting the Mahabharata and Ramayan books from India. To follow the story, the audience must recognize the important characters. Wayang kulit is different from other wayang puppets and is popular in Indonesia because it is considered a rich cultural heritage that continues to grow.

Introduction It is estimated that by the year 2050, persons over 60 will account for 22% of the world population. Consequently, the incidence and prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease will increase correspondingly. One of the pillars of the treatment of this condition is to improve the quality of life. In this sense, questionnaires such as the Quality of Life in Alzheimer’s Disease allow us to measure the quality of life in patients and caregivers. Objective To translate into Chilean Spanish and carry out the content validation of the Quality of Life in Alzheimer’s Disease scale in patients with Alzheimer’s dementia at the Guillermo Grant Benavente Hospital in Concepción, Chile. Methods Translation, back-translation and content validity were carried out by expert judgment, using Lawshe analysis, pre-test and semantic validation using the respondent debriefing strategy. Results The translated and retranslated versions were compared with each other and with the original version. Lawshe indicates that a Content Validity Ratio equal 0.49 is adequate to consider the item valid when 15 experts participated in the content validation process, as in our study. The analysis yielded a content validity ratio greater than 0.49 in 11 of the 13 items on the scale. Of these, 8 obtained a value greater than 0.8 and 3 between 0.49 and 0.79. In semantic validation using the respondent debriefing strategy, the scale was applied to five people with Alzheimer’s and their respective caregivers. With the data obtained, modifications were generated in those items that obtained a content validity ratio of less than 0.49. Conclusions The version obtained in Spanish of the Quality of Life in Alzheimer’s Disease scale is valid from the point of view of its content and equivalent to its original version.

A violência de gênero na perspectiva da metodologia do imaginário: análise experimental a partir de relatos de mulheres vítimas de violência
Authors: Gotardo Suelen
Published: July 2023

O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar a violência de gênero na perspectiva metodológica da Análise Discursiva de Imaginários (SILVA, 2019) e das Tecnologias do Imaginário (SILVA, 2006), utilizando como objeto empírico cinco relatos de mulheres vítimas de violência dispostos no site da Secretaria de Justiça, Cidadania e Direitos Humanos do Rio Grande do Sul. Experimenta-se com isso transitar por universos imaginais e refletir sobre diferentes instrumentos que promovem o debate sobre a violência de gênero. Para refletir sobre as questões do imaginário, foi utilizado o aporte teórico de Juremir Machado da Silva. Para as contextualizações acerca da violência de gênero, contou-se com as contribuições de Heleieth Saffioti e Sueli Carneiro. A metodologia do imaginário abre caminhos alternativos e, algumas vezes, velados, mas que neste trabalho apontaram encontros possíveis para falar sobre as expressões da violência, pela ótica da comunicação e do imaginário.
olhar da sociedade em Kami no Kodomo
Authors: Luz Isaac Newton Dantas da Costa , Pessoa Alberto Ricardo
Published: July 2023

Este artigo busca refletir questões presentes no mangá Kami no Kodomo (2009) dos irmãos Nishioka Kyoudai, relacionando-o do ponto de vista crítico à produção de arte, neste caso dos mangás, inserido na sociedade. Afinal, os mangás são meros meios alienadores de entretenimento ou podem oferecer subsídios para a compreensão e crítica da sociedade? Para entender melhor este ponto, trazemos um breve panorama das transformações ocorridas após o desenvolvimento de novas tecnologias de impressão, das trocas artísticas entre a Europa e Japão, passando pela influência ocidental na produção de narrativas visuais do pós Segunda Guerra Mundial. Discutindo aspectos da cultura de massa e indústria cultural (ADORNO, 1947) e seus produtos pré-moldados, alienadores que refletem os interesses da classe dominante, este estudo de caso do mangá Kami no Kodomo almeja revelar nuances críticas e o verdadeiro poder que os mangás têm como produtos artísticos de comunicação.
Desejos interditos, virtualidades inconcebíveis
Authors: Da Silva Corrêa Lucimara , Linck Vargas Alexandre
Published: July 2023

O presente artigo dialoga com a tese de Franco Berardi e de outros pensadores pós-modernos sobre o fim do futuro, analisando em específico a literatura realista brasileira (1870-1899) na construção de personagens/subjetividades femininas. O objetivo é investigar como esse fim do futuro feminino aparece na prosa da literatura realista brasileira. O trabalho é uma pesquisa bibliográfica e literária, de caráter exploratório. Foi escolhido para a análise o romance O homem (1887), de Aluísio Azevedo. Busca-se a confirmação ou a refutação da hipótese da presença do fim do futuro na literatura realista brasileira, contribuindo para os estudos literários. Busca-se ainda propor reflexões sobre a mulher, as questões de gênero, o casamento e o desejo feminino no século XIX.
Materialidades da comunicação em figuras de ação
Authors: Miorando Guilherme Sfredo
Published: July 2023

Este artigo descreve através da estrutura de ensaio, os bonecos articulados, também conhecidos atualmente como action figures. Essa abordagem se constitui através de uma teoria ciborgue e dos preceitos das teorias das materialidades da comunicação. Marshall McLuhan estabeleceu que muitos gadgets utilizados no cotidiano do homem podem funcionar como extensões de seu corpo. Dessa forma, utilizo a teoria do corpo ciborgue de Donna Haraway aliada à teoria dos jogos de Johan Huizinga para explicar como as materialidades da comunicação afetam a utilização de action figures nas masculinidades dos seres humanos, seja através das brincadeiras ou do mero colecionismo. Também estipulo, a partir desses pressupostos, algumas propostas para o estudo de masculinidades com/em action figures para trabalhos futuros que pretendam ampliar esta análise e essas ideias. Concluo este ensaio na direção de movimentos que possam usar as condições materiais dos action figures como forma de desfazer e refazer o gênero.

Published: July 2023

A pesquisa objetivou investigar a compreensão de professoras em duas escolas do município de Criciúma (SC) a partir do que a Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) prescreve sobre a transição da Educação Infantil para o Ensino Fundamental. Para atingir o objetivo a metodologia utilizada foi à pesquisa de campo de abordagem qualitativa, da qual participaram quatro professoras que atuam na pré-escola e no primeiro ano dos anos iniciais, através de uma entrevista semiestruturada. A pesquisa evidenciou que a maioria das professoras tem conhecimento do que é a BNCC, mas não sobre a transição dos níveis de ensino. O motivo apontado pelas entrevistadas foi porque não participaram de formações sobre a BNCC ou mesmo, quando tiveram, o tema da transição não foi tratado. Essa transição que as crianças vivenciam decorre da mudança de atividade principal, pois neste momento as crianças passam por crises.

model-memo The things of concern  1  are materials, processes, measurements, and ingredients. Materials are output by processes and are subject to measurements. A process may take materials as ingredients. Things are recorded in three ways: as templates, as specs, and as runs. You can record a template for a thing – what might be the case. You can also record a spec for a thing – what is intended.
