The intention of this research is to identify patterns in the current recruitment process in political parties as it relates to capital and the patriarchy system the permeate the world of women politics. This research uses a qualitative paradigm that utilizes the researcher as data miner through the in-depth interview with current women legislative members in Medan and Deli Serdang. Research indicates that there are 3 recruitment patterns for women legislative candidate; they are the close pattern, open pattern and semi-open pattern. Patriarchy system still dominant social political relationship politic experienced by women members of legislative. These conditions include stereotypes, double burden subordination, and marginalization. These gender issues can be seen as advantage or disadvantages for a woman in the political realm. Women members of legislative have several capitals which could be related to Bourdieu concepts such as economic capital, social capital, cultural capital and symbolic capital. Other than that, whether they habitus or not, they win the election. The combination of habitus and four capital of Bourdieu has influenced the existence and dynamics of women in politics (field).

Published: February 2018

The objective of this research is to design a model of continuous improvement for the management of human talent, with a focus on labor competencies, linking their core processes and contribute to raising the performance of teachers, improve the perception of students and their social environment and other global results in educational institutions in Ecuador, by the need to strengthen their development within the territory. A cluster analysis using Ward’s method, through the Euclidean distance squared, according to the characteristics of the scale used to evaluate the variables of the models is developed. Validation resulting cluster analysis was performed by comparing the results obtained in the processing of the same sample by the nonhierarchical method, obtaining the corresponding dendrogram. As part of the analysis of the potential variables involved in the multivariate construct competencies management, a procedure for analyzing variables consensus on participants in a theoretical model was used. The contributions are reflected in the theoretical model designed from the four latent variables identified for managing human talent based on labor competencies, generic competencies profile for teachers, diagnostic results on the current situation of the introduction of the approach, and instruments for calculating indicators, which reflect an improvement in the teacher’s perspective, highlighting the level of competencies and the level of competencies development, with a favorable impact on the global results of this institution. It has an added value that focuses on the proposed theoretical model itself, distinguished by the integration of the mainstream in the study of competencies and the design of a management system of human talent based on this approach, making use of systems approach, holistic and strategic direction; providing technically sound tools for competencies development.

“The Doctor” Teaches Humanities to Medical Students
Authors: Ozcakir Alis , Bilgel Nazan
Published: February 2018

Education in humanities is an important part of medical curriculum. With traditional didactic approaches, it is difficult to teach humanities. Using movies and other audio-visual materials can make the teaching of humanities for medical students easier. We used “The Doctor” movie during our family medicine course for educating the last year medical students about communication and patient-doctor relationships, which belongs to the core elements of medical humanities. The movie was evaluated by the students through a questionnaire with structured and open-ended questions and was discussed in the classroom. This study reports the findings of the students’ selfreports and discussions. The overall rating of the movie was 2.5 on a five point Likert scale. There was no significant difference in terms of rating among male and female students. Most of the students found this movie little or not at all emotional. Most of the students reported a positive emotional impact of the movie. Most of the students found the movie more useful than lectures (90.9 %) and journal articles (90.9 %) in teaching the patient-doctor relationships. This proportion was 54.5 % compared to bedside rounds and this finding revealed that students accept the bedside rounds as an important component of learning patient-doctor relationships. We concluded that movies should be an enhancement tool for the curriculum, but not the curriculum. The curriculum with some instructional goals such as understanding, reasoning, critical thinking, and reflection should guide the use of movies.
Analyse De L’état De La Diversité Floristique Des Plateaux Suivant Un Gradient D’aridité Nord- Sud Dans La Réserve De Biosphère Du W Du Niger

Published: February 2018

Introduction: In Niger, the degradation of ecosystems leads to a loss of biodiversity and an increase in the adverse effects of climate change, especially in the ecosystems contracted from the plateaux of the Niger W biosphere reserve. Objective: The objective of this study is to characterize the spatial variability of the flora according to the north-south rainfall gradient of the reserve. Methodology: Phytosociological surveys, an ascending hierarchical classification and a canonical analysis of correspondences between plant groups and environmental factors. Results-Discussion: The 126 inventoried species have 88 dicotyledons, 28 woody species, and 98 herbaceous species. The most common families are: Poaceae (21.42%), Fabaceae (12.69%), Rubiaceae (7.14%) and Convolvulaceae (6.34%). The biological spectrum is dominated by therophytes then microphanerophytes. The world chorology is marked by African species followed by palaeotropics or pantropicales, and at the African level, Sudano-Zambezian species are the most frequent. The presence of intermediate species (GC-SZ and GC-SZ-SahS) is noted. From north to south, 3 groups of plants were highlighted: the group with Sida cordifolia and Guiera senegalensis whose phytodiversity is reduced; Group II consisting of the subgrouping with Combretum nigricans and Microchloa indica and the subgrouping with Combretum micranthum and Gardenia sokotensis floristically rich, with however a regeneration dominated by Guiera senegalensis; grouping with Loudetia togoensis and Acacia macrostachya, in good state of conservation. Conclusion: The study made it possible to characterize floristically the various landscapes along the rainfall and anthropic gradient. Thus, in view of the structures of the stands observed, the distribution of floristic diversity increases according to a gradient of decreasing aridity from the periphery to the internal part of the reserve. From the north to the south there is a degraded part, a part gradually invaded by Guiera senegalensis and another well preserved. This work, which provides an overview of the state of conservation of the floristic diversity of the Niger W Biosphere Reserve, allows taking appropriate measures to safeguard our plant resources.

Authors: Fabrigas Yves Clark , Maniago Jestoni D.
Published: February 2018

This descriptive qualitative study aimed to describe the healthcare practices of Aytas at Lakas Pamayanan, Philippines. The researchers who were culturally immersed to the community involved 100 Aytas of LAKAS Pamayanan who comprised of tribal leaders, tribal healers and tribal members. Ethical approval was secured from appropriate agencies and the participants provided their consent to conduct this research. Research techniques employed were interviews, non-participant observation and video documentation. For almost three years of cultural immersion and data gathering, the following insights were revealed: (1) Aytas still believed that sickness was caused by weather, ‘kamana’ and supernatural forces of nature. (2) The diversity of herbal medicines and its preparation have cultural importance to Aytas’ different stages of life and different healing practices. (3) Aytas still used natural supplements such as bamboo blades for cutting umbilical cords and ‘bigkis’ for Ayta women who have just given birth. (4) There were not much of healthcare practices during puberty, adolescence and adulthood except for menstrual beliefs and circumcision because these part of their lives was concerned to their cultural views. (5) Aytas perceived that technology, media and modernization as well as the medical missions and outreach programs disconnect them from their cultural identity. (6) Aytas have shown some reception to public health programs such as hygiene. Aytas were able to preserve their cultural healthcare practices up to this time. It was recommended to develop a culturally-congruent nursing care model that will streamline evidence-based practice for indigenous groups in the Philippines.

Introduction: Arterial aneurysms affect 7 to 8% of people over 65 in the West and are the 2nd leading cause of death in these countries. In Africa this frequency is poorly evaluated. The objective of this work is to report the management of arterial aneurysms at the National Hospital of Niamey (HNN). Patients and methods: This was a retrospective, descriptive study over a period of eight (8) years from January 2009 to December 2016, performed in the surgical departments of the National Hospital of Niamey. Included in the study were patients of both sexes, hospitalized and / or operated for arterial aneurysm. Not included were patients treated for arterial aneurysm with incomplete records or those concerning the neurosurgical sphere. Results: During the study period, 17,748 patients were hospitalized in the general surgery departments, including 16 patients for arterial aneurysm, or 0.09% of surgical pathologies. There were 13 men (81.25%) and 3 women (18.75%), or a sex ratio of 4.33. The average age was 55.75 years with extremes ranging from 25 years old to 90 years old. The circumstances of discovery of the aneurysms were swelling of the antero-internal aspect of the thigh in 7 cases (43.75%), abdominal mass 6 cases (37.50%), then 2 cases (12.50%) of chest pain and incidental discovery in 1cas (6.25%). The most common risk factor was high blood pressure with 43.75% (7 cases). The aneurysm sat on the femoral artery in 43.75% (n = 7), of which 6 on the deep femoral and 1 on the superficial femoral, on the infrarenal aorta in 31.25% (n = 5), on thoracic aorta 12.50% (n = 2), on the iliac artery 12.50% (n = 2). For the diagnosis the angioscanner is realized in all the patients and in addition Doppler ultrasound in 43, 75% of cases. Twelve (12) patients benefited from curative surgical intervention by prosthetic graft by PTFE in 58.33% of cases and by Dacron in 41.66%. The average stay was 29.75 days and the immediate operative followup was complicated by thrombosis in 12.5% and parietal suppurations in 6.25%. We recorded two (2) deaths, ie 12.5% among non-operated patients. Conclusion: Arterial aneurysms are rare diseases at the HNN. Conventional surgery is the treatment performed in our patients. The postoperative course was simple in most cases.

Iodine is reported to be one of the main trace mineral constituting thyroid hormones. The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between urinary iodine concentration status and dysfunctional parameters of the thyroid gland of schoolchildren in central Benin. In our study we selected 108 schoolchildren to whom we performed T3, T4, TSH, iodine and thyroid volume tests. The determination of the morning urinary iodine (iodine) in Djidja schoolchildren gave satisfactory results to 72% thus declaring our study area as a zone of non-iodine dietary deficiency. The hormone assay results are favorable at a rate of 92% and corresponds to hypothyroidism. In fact, TSH are high in 85% of the study population, T3 are in their case low in 93% of our study population and finally T4 are lower in the 100% of individuals in the study population. But these results are not in agreement with the iodine obtained. Indeed, in the study environment, the population is forced to drink some water rich in fluoride. Fluorine is an iodine antagonist that it can easily substitute, disrupting the production of T3, T4 and TSH hormones. To end, the calculated thyroid echography volumes are for the most part normal volumes with a rate of 45.37 for boys and 35.19 for girls.

Published: February 2018

The health risk associated with the consumption of water polluted by humans in the World, particularly in Africa, is a real public health problem. This is why WHO, from its inception in 1948, has always been concerned with defining limit values. The aim of this work was to study the physicochemical and microbiological quality of water in the Menoua watershed through a spatiotemporal dynamics to assess its degree of anthropogenic pollution and to estimate the level of risk of infection and diseases inherent in its consumption. Physicochemical analysis (pH, temperature, turbidity and dissolved oxygen) and microbiological (E-coli, salmonella and shigellas) was carried out on 132 samples taken from 33 sites distributed in two seasons, two in dry seasons and two in rainy season. The results show that these waters have an acidic pH, a low dissolved oxygen content, strong microorganism levels all correlated with high turbidity. These very high levels of microorganism, illustrate well the effect of the action of the man on the pollution of the water. This pollution could have several origins, the most important of which are related to spilled household discharges, without any prior treatment in rivers, manure from livestock and used in agriculture. The level of microbiological risk is very high for consumers and typhoid is the most recurrent waterborne disease in the region. This diagnosis would help decision-makers to better pronounce on the management of this resource in order to reduce the health risks inherent in its consumption.

Published: February 2018

Abstract. The main objective of the present study is to understand better how Czech women construct their views on feminism and also the way they form their feminist identification. The article reflects the development and current situation of feminism in the Czech Republic, which is specific for its historically conditioned connotation. Consequently the study presents the analytical results of the qualitative research. By applying the technique of semistructured interviews, the author brings up the questions of how Czech women perceive and understand feminism and how they interpret the current situation of women. One of the main objectives of the empirical part is also to find out whether it is possible to apply Aronson’s typology (2003) of feminism to the situation in the Czech Republic. Due to the specificity of the Czech environment, the author comes to the conclusion that there can be identified four different approaches to feminism. Within this framework, the analysis of interviews led to the identification of several important factors that affect the construction of feminist consciousness among Czech women.Keywords: feminism, feminism in the Czech republic, feminist consciousness, qualitative methodology.Resumen.

The Tongue Twister Tournament by N. Kanellos
Authors: Borle Stephanie
Published: February 2018

Kanellos, Nicolás. El Torneo De Trabalenguas = The Tongue Twister Tournament. Illustrated by Anne Vega, Arte Publico Press-Piñata Books, 2016.This is a children’s picture book that takes the form of a tongue twister competition. Each page introduces a contestant and the tongue twister (in both English and Spanish) that they are reciting in the competition. Sometimes, the translations of the tongue twisters lend themselves to very different meanings depending on the language. On the left page of each pair are the tongue-twisters. On the facing page, a surreal, cartoon-like illustration of the contestant is shown. Each illustration integrates elements of the tongue twister. The illustrations also incorporate visual jokes, especially in the shadows behind each participant. For example, Grumpy Granny, the second competitor, presents a tongue twister about a cat whose “tail was on the wrong end”. The cat in the picture has a normal tail, but the cat in the shadow has a tail on the wrong end. Forte Fortisimo, the strongman competitor reciting a tongue twister about cockroaches has a cockroach as his shadow. The book concludes with an anthology containing tongue twisters in their original languages.This is an elementary level book that would be useful for language learning, enunciation and elocution practice in both English and Spanish. The tongue twisters would be appropriate for both first and second language learners. Children can have fun trying the tongue twisters themselves, or a class could have its own tongue twister tournament. This kind of interactivity helps children be more engaged in language learning.I recommend this book for public libraries and elementary school libraries, particularly where there are Spanish speaking populations. Highly Recommended: 4 stars out of 4Reviewer: Stephanie BorleStephanie Borle is a University of Alberta student of linguistics who enjoys working with children and new immigrants.

McDermott, Noel. Kiviuq and the Mermaids. Illus. Tom Feizo Gas. Inhabit Media, 2016.Following his previous works on Inuit culture including Akinirmut Unipkaaqtuat: Stories of Revenge (2006), and Unikkaaqtuat: Traditional Inuit Stories (2015), Noel McDermott, a retired professor of literature at Nunavut Arctic College in Iqaluit, Nunavut, focuses on one of the greatest and most important characters appearing in traditional stories of Inuit culture, Kiviuq, in Kiviuq and the Mermaids, a book for young readers.The story begins with a Grandfather speaking directly to the reader, introducing Kiviuq and his wandering life to newcomers and then getting directly into the action, wherein Kiviuq narrowly survives a storm during a seal hunt and is left alone at sea. Here he meets a tuutalik (mermaid) but it doesn’t go well at all as it begins to taunt Kiviuq and what begins as a strange encounter quickly becomes a matter of life and death.The story is an excellent introduction to one of the key figures in traditional Inuit stories, and the action, brought to life by Illustrator Toma Feizo Gas is both entrancing and sometimes quite frightening. Themes of personal responsibility, self-reliance and man versus nature work to introduce the reader to the character and promises of further stories may even have readers doing their own research into other stories of Kiviuq. A glossary of Inuktitut terms at the end of the book include a pronunciation guide and the story itself would work well for young students interested in the traditional stories of Canada’s Inuit peoples.Highly recommended: 4 out of 4 starsReviewer: Kirk MacLeodKirk is the Open Data Team Lead for the Government of Alberta’s Open Government Portal.

Susanna Moodie: Roughing It in the Bush by C. Shields and P. Crowe
Authors: Distad Merrill
Published: February 2018

Shields, Carol and Patrick Crowe. Susanna Moodie: Roughing It in the Bush, adaptation by Willow Dawson, illustrated by Selena Goulding. Second Story Press, 2016.The long genesis of this graphic novel began more than two decades ago, when Governor General’s and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Carol Shields began collaborating with Patrick Crowe to produce a screenplay based on Susanna Moodie’s classic account of pioneer life in early Victorian Upper Canada. Shields’ death in 2003 led Crowe to abandon the project, only to revive it a decade later in this illustrated format. Story editor Willow Dawson has extracted the most significant episodes from the screenplay, and Selena Goulding has provided running illustrations that fairly reflect the landscapes, buildings, home interiors, costumes, and technology of the period 1830–1867. Her style—not inappropriately—is reminiscent of the Classics Illustrated school of comic book art. This reviewer’s only criticism is the very occasional failure of the illustrations to accurately depict things referenced in the text.Appearing at a time when Canada celebrates 150 years of nationhood, this handsome production serves to provide older children and young adults with an appreciation of the hardships overcome by Canada’s pioneering women, such as Moodie, and her sister and fellow immigrant Catherine Parr Traill, whose very survival sometimes depended upon aid from their First Nations neighbours. As a succinct précis of Moodie’s classic memoir, it may even stimulate interest in reading the longer, original text. The Introduction provided by CanLit doyenne Margaret Atwood, alongside the content attributable to Carol Shields, render the book suitable not only for public and school libraries, but also for academic libraries and all serious collectors of those authors.Highly Recommended: 4 out of 4 starsReviewer: Merrill DistadHistorian and author Merrill Distad enjoyed a four-decade career building libraries and library collections.

Published: February 2018

Winstanley, Nicola. A Bedtime Yarn, illustrated by Olivia Chin Mueller, Tundra Books, 2017.This picture book explores the dreams of Frankie, a little bear who has trouble falling asleep at night. To help him sleep, his mother provides a ball of yarn for him to hold while she works on the other end, knitting a special surprise for Frankie. Each ball of yarn is a different colour with its own story that takes the young bear on incredible adventures. For instance, a sea-green yarn invokes a dream that takes him deep into underwater caverns and a brown yarn reminds him of cake as a result of his upcoming birthday celebrations. Every colour depicts a new dream and unique experience. The story concludes with Frankie’s mother surprising him with a multi-coloured blanket that was made from all the different colours of yarn that he held.   Beautiful artwork illustrated by Olivia Chin Mueller accompanies the story, including strands of coloured yarn that surround the images. The author creatively used colour as the starting off point for representing the wide variety of dreams that the little bear encounters. This children’s book teaches readers about different colours and the imaginative element of dreams. This book is suitable for children from Kindergarten to Grade 2.     Recommended: 3 out of 4 starsReviewer: Janice KungJanice Kung is a Public Services Librarian at the University of Alberta, John W.

Second Story Press, 2017.Stolen Words is a sensitive and thoughtful story about the legacy and intergenerational impact of Canada’s residential school system, the reclamation of language, and the tender relationship between a seven-year-old nôsisim (granddaughter) and her nimosôm (grandfather). Florence draws on her own experience for the story, having never had the opportunity to speak to her own nimosôm about his Cree heritage.After making a dreamcatcher in school, Nôsisim goes to her nimosôm, asking how to say “grandfather” in Cree. Nimosôm replies that he “lost his words a long time ago.” He explains that he (and his words) were taken away from their home, “... to a school that was cold and lonely, where angry white faces raised their voices and their hands when we used our words.” Nôsisim wants to help Nimosôm “find your words again,” and the next day, brings home a Cree dictionary. Reading the long-forgotten words, Nimosôm’s language is reawakened, and he promises Nôsisim that he will teach her his words.Stolen Words does not shy from the realities and long-term impacts of the residential school system. However, Florence addresses these sensitively and age-appropriately. For example, Nimosôm talks about being separated from his family. While the pain of the separation is clear, Florence’s gentle prose ensures it is not overwhelming for young readers. Also, Grimard’s illustrations are evocative, highlighting the close relationship between Nôsisim and Nimosôm, and effectively showing how Nimosôm’s language was captured (and freed) using bird imagery.The phrasing of the sentences, and the inclusion of Cree words makes this a more appropriate read-aloud to younger readers, but it would be suitable for independent reading for students in mid-elementary school. While the subject matter is relevant for students in upper-elementary school, the text itself is below grade reading level. This book is highly recommended for both school and public libraries. Highly recommended: 4 out of 4 starsReviewer: Andrea QuaiattiniAndrea Quaiattini is a Public Services Librarian at the University of Alberta’s JW Scott Health Sciences Library.

InvisiBill by M. Fergus
Authors: Aitken Leslie
Published: February 2018

Fergus, Maureen. InvisiBill. Illus. Dušan Petričić. Tundra Books, 2015.The plot of this amusing picture book is simple: Bill would like someone at the dinner table to pass him the potatoes; he is repeatedly ignored. Bill mutters,                “What am I. Invisible?... PLEASE PASS THE POTATOES!”In response, Mother continues checking messages on her “whatchamacallit,” and Father answers his “thingamajiggy.” (We have to admire the use of the terms “whatchamacallit” and “thingamajiggy;” Fergus deftly avoids the stale dating that comes with naming current technologies!) The story proceeds: Bill’s brother declares the scientific name for potatoes to be “SOLANUM TUBEROSUM.” His little sister begins to juggle the tubers. No one passes the potatoes. Bill’s fate is sealed; he becomes invisible.The romp through Bill’s family’s solutions and sorrows as they try to regain their invisible child and brother is complemented by the witty cartoons of Dušan Petričić.  Only a few of these drawings are large and distinct enough to share in a group storytelling session; none-the-less, they would be much appreciated by the individual reader.That reader might easily be a child of eight years of age—the approximate age of “Bill,” as Petričić depicts him. By the end of grade three, and certainly at the grade four reading level, most children could handle independently such passages as the one below:               Bill was in no mood to eat dinner with his family who had, after all, caused his invisibleness. So he took three peanut-butter-and-pickle sandwiches up to his room and spent the evening with his gerbil, Gerard.The humour in this story, however, is not for the exclusive delight of the primary school-aged; if you are a “middle child” of any age, you might just think that Maureen Fergus wrote the book with you in mind!Home, school, and public libraries should find this a popular addition to their collections. Depending on the ages involved, it might also prove a helpful gift for that once-youngest child whose family position has been “reordered” by a newcomer. Reviewer: Leslie AitkenRecommended: 3 out of 4 starsLeslie Aitken’s long career in librarianship involved selection of children’s literature for school, public, special and academic libraries.

A materialidade das práticas de memória na terra do Thankgiving
Authors: Gordenstein Samuel Lira
Published: February 2018

Este artigo examina a materialidade das práticas de memória no passado ao focar nos monumentos erguidos na cidade norte-americana que inspirou o feriado mais celebrado nos EUA, o Dia de Ação de Graças (Thanksgiving). Através de uma análise do contexto sócio-cultural no início do século 20, período de fabricação da maioria dos monumentos da cidade de Plymouth, evidenciam-se as circunstâncias específicas das escolhas sobre quais aspectos da história deveriam ser expostas, ou não, ao público. Ainda que no local predomine uma narrativa que sublinhe o legado dos imigrantes anglo-saxônicos, a contestação por parte de ativistas tem resultado na adição de narrativas históricas alternativas à paisagem monumental da cidade.
Contribuições da arqueologia para a defesa do patrimônio e memória afro-brasileira
Authors: Pereira Rodrigo
Published: February 2018

O artigo versa sobre a contribuição que a Arqueologia, em especial o campo da legislação deste tema no Brasil, tem a oferecer aos grupos de afro-brasileiros no tocante a formas de empoderamento por meio do conhecimento, identificação e valorização de seu patrimônio arqueológico, mas também formas de embasar o grupo com fontes que permitam não apenas discutir o seu patrimônio, mas sobretudo como defende-lo utilizando-se a legislação arqueológica como meio de efetivação de políticas culturais e memória coletiva do grupo.

Educação Patrimonial: relações ambientais e culturais
Authors: Machado Neli Galarce , Devitte Natalia , Riedi Jessica , Schneider Patricia
Published: February 2018

A construção de conceitos como de cidadania, sustentabilidade e preservação cultural e natural ultrapassa o foco da ciência disciplinar e una. Do ponto de vista educacional, somos capazes de instigar propostas visando a construção destes conceitos e da preservação patrimonial e ambiental. O objetivo deste artigo é revisitar analiticamente o projeto institucional “Arqueólogo por um dia”, o qual preocupa-se com o enfoque da história regional a partir do conhecimento arqueológico e tem como público alvo estudantes da Educação Básica. No presente texto, focaliza-se a relação pouco percebida entre teóricos e pesquisadores sobre a temática da educação patrimonial e ambiental. A partir da correlação de conhecimentos acadêmicos e populares, o projeto procura construir a noção de pertencimento ao ambiente natural e cultural e tem atingido resultados satisfatórios até o presente momento.
Programa de zoneamento, monitoramento e pesquisas nos sítios pré–históricos do Litoral Central do Rio Grande do Sul.

A memória coletiva de um povo é preservada no repasse de seus costumes, pensamento, escritos e construções. Quando há um consentimento entre a maioria da população herdeira dessas memórias de que é importante que esse passado permaneça vivo, chama-se isso de patrimônio. Dessa forma pode denominar-se patrimônio os bens culturais materiais e/ou imateriais de um povo, podendo estar ele extinto ou vivo. Este conceito de cuidado com a memória de um grupo, não é restrita a sociedade ocidental, existe desde o mundo clássico a sociedades tribais. A importância, assim, do pensamento de patrimônio em uma sociedade é de suma relevância, pois trata-se de uma parte constituinte da identidade sociocultural dos indivíduos.
Tudo vira lixo: patrimonialização do descarte
Authors: Morales Martha Helena Loeblein Becker
Published: February 2018

A atribuição de valores que torna o lixo um luxo é parte inerente das decisões acerca da patrimonialização. O objetivo deste artigo é incitar um debate sobre o lugar da cultura material contemporânea nos processos de patrimonialização, exemplificado no caso do Museu Paranaense e suas políticas de aquisição e descarte de acervo. Apesar do circuito bastante comprometido com a exposição do período oitocentista, a materialidade do século XX começa a despertar o interesse da instituição. Surgem, por conseguinte, dúvidas a respeito dos limites entre passado e presente, dos objetivos institucionais e os problemas em torno da expografia da contemporaneidade. Enfim, se vivemos em um momento histórico no qual tudo pode virar lixo, a reflexão acerca da categorização deste universo tangível é um âmbito tão polêmico quanto fértil que possibilita transformar a maneira como construímos o passado e como vivemos no presente.
Condicionantes geoambientais da localização da infraestrutura portuária, faroleira, militar e baleeira da ilha de Santa Catarina
Authors: Ferreira Washington
Published: February 2018

Procurou-se estabelecer uma aproximação entre a História Ambiental e o Gerenciamento Costeiro, para a análise do papel dos condicionantes geoambientais na seleção dos sítios para a instalação da infraestrutura de um conjunto de atividades socioeconômicas interligadas (navegação, defesa, caça a baleia e comércio portuário), na Ilha de Santa Catarina, SC, Brasil. Nesta aproximação, promoveu-se a sobreposição de três camadas de informação (cartas náuticas, mapas temáticos ambientais, vestígios arqueológicos) em um sistema de informações geográficas, simultaneamente a análise documental de uma série de fontes históricas sobre as referidas atividades socioeconômicas na região, estabelecendo as correlações entre as mesmas e os parâmetros definidos como condicionantes geoambientais de sua localização.
Como os nativos americanos teriam utilizado seus espelhos?
Authors: Lunazzi José Joaquín
Published: February 2018

Dois mil anos antes da chegada dos europeus, civilizações americanas contavam com espelhos capazes de fornecer boa qualidade de imagem. Notadamente, a Olmeca em Centroamérica, mas também a Cupisnique na América do Sul. Essa tecnologia óptica pode ter influenciado nos Maias e até nos Aztecas, embora saibamos que sua aplicação e difusão aparece como muito restrita. Porém ligada a relações de poder e representada em divindades. Por achados, pode-se ter uma ideia da técnica de sua realização mas, fora a presença junto aos esqueletos nas tumbas e a representação em murais e esculturas, não se tem mais elementos como para conhecer a maneira como teriam sido utilizados. Tentamos cobrir essa carência aplicando todas as relações lúdicas e de experimentação que podemos imaginar. Este estudo pode servir como orientação para ajudar a relacionar os espelhos com sua cultura.
Patrimônio, turismo, práticas culturais e identidades na região das Missões no Rio Grande do Sul
Authors: Marchi Darlan De Mamann , Silva Juliani Borchardt da , Dezordi Estelamaris
Published: February 2018

O texto que segue é uma síntese de oficina realizada durante a II Semana de Arqueologia da UNICAMP. A atividade congregou a discussão em torno do patrimônio e das identidades na região das Missões no Rio Grande do Sul, dentro de uma abordagem interdisciplinar. Reconhecidas pela UNESCO como patrimônios mundiais em 1983, as ruínas do antigo povoado jesuítico-guarani São Miguel das Missões já possuíam o título de patrimônio nacional desde 1938, o que as torna um atraente espaço para a discussão das implicações das políticas de patrimônio e as confluências e divergências nessa relação com as comunidades. Nas últimas décadas São Miguel das Missões tem acompanhado a ampliação do conceito de patrimônio, englobando questões como o patrimônio imaterial e a atuação de atores, despontando o debate acerca das questões patrimoniais como os Mbyá-Guarani e a prática da medicina tradicional dos benzedores. Nesse contexto, o turismo é um ponto de confluência em todas as abordagens em relação ao patrimônio, assim como as questões identitárias locais, tendo em vista a formação multiétnica da região.
