The representation of a woman judge in the Italian press. The case of Ilda Boccassini.
Authors: Verza Sofia , Bonerba Giuseppina
Published: January 2023

Diversos estudios han puesto de relieve cómo la representación mediática del poder judicial en Italia ha pasado de la exaltación de la judicatura que trabajaba en casos de relevante interés público (por ejemplo, el caso Tangentopoli) a un creciente conflicto entre el órgano judicial y la élite política. Este artículo se centra en la representación de la jueza Ilda Boccassini en cuatro periódicos nacionales italianos durante 2011, año en el que dirigió las investigaciones relativas al «proceso Ruby», contra el acusado Silvio Berlusconi. El análisis pretende investigar, utilizando la metodología del Análisis Crítico del Discurso (ACD), los encuadres referidos a la jueza transmitidos en periódicos de diferente afiliación política. El estudio se basa en otras investigaciones sobre la cobertura mediática de las investigaciones judiciales en Italia, que han demostrado la existencia de una fuerte instrumentalización política de los acontecimientos judiciales (Mancini, 2018; Mazzoni et al., 2017) y la politización e instrumentalización de la representación mediática de la categoría profesional de los magistrados (Priulla, 2014). En este estudio se destacará cómo la profesionalidad y competencia de Boccassini fueron escasamente representadas en la prensa italiana, al tiempo que se detecta un uso prevalente de estereotipos de género y una atención instrumental a la vida privada del juez.
La deconstrucción de la Beautiful Fighting Girl desde el Pigmalión. Análisis de NieR Automata (2017) a través de una óptica feminista postestructuralista. Análise de NieR Automata (2017) a partir de uma perspectiva pós-estruturalista feminista.
Authors: Álvarez Barroso Carlos
Published: January 2023

Descrito por Saitō Tamaki en su ensayo Beautiful Fighting Girl (2011), este arquetipo corresponde a una serie de patrones específicos de la ficción japonesa. Desde una perspectiva lacaniana, el autor desentraña la psique del otaku, trazando una estructura donde la barrera entre la ficción y la realidad son desdibujadas mediante el campo magnético de la sexualidad y la histerización del sujeto hacia las figuras de ficción. Aunque, por definición, se traten de personajes femeninos que intervienen en el transcurso de su obra y luchan por cumplir su voluntad, estas heroínas perpetúan unos códigos de fechitización provenientes de la cultura heteropatriarcal japonesa. Así, y mediante esta paradoja ajena a las corrientes postestructuralistas feministas de Occidente, se confeccionan unos personajes orientados hacia la mirada deseante masculina. Sin embargo, Taro Yoko, en su videojuego NieR Automata (2017), exhibe unos personajes que escapan de estos cánones, imponiendo un modelo más cercano al feminismo socialista del Manifiesto Cíborg (1984) de Donna Haraway. Dada la popularidad de la Beautiful Fighting Girl en Japón y, por extensión, en Occidente tras las recientes oleadas neojaponistas esta investigación pretende servir a aquellos diseñadores de narrativas videolúdicas que busquen representaciones feministas adecuadas para los discursos postmodernos contemporáneos. Con tal fin, se procederá a un exhaustivo análisis de los componentes de la obra y a la contraposición simbólica de sus elementos.
Double identity in Czesław Miłosz’s The Captive Mind
Authors: Rechlewicz Wojciech
Published: January 2023

In The Captive Mind, Czesław Miłosz describes two mechanisms of intellectual enslavement, namely Murti-Bing pills and Ketman. Although these mechanisms are similar, in reality they function somewhat differently. I believe that the former, Murti-Bing pills, leads to more significant enslavement than the latter, namely Ketman. This is because the former blurs the distinction between fiction and reality, while the latter can coexist with the awareness of the deceitful nature of communist propaganda and even with a cynical attitude. Both mechanisms generate a double identity, albeit each in a different way. It seems, moreover, that while Miłosz describes universal phenomena occurring in different societies and at different times, these are particularly intense precisely in the communist totalitarian state.
A Sociological Analysis of the Social Role of Female Artists during COVID-19
Authors: Gammaitoni Milena
Published: January 2023

During the pandemic, artists have created new works, initiated political actions and civil activism, supporting the health prevention policy with the “I stay at home” campaign, but also organizing, at a later stage, protest movements, in defence of the right to perform one’s work, broadening the criticisms to a macro vision: in defence of the environment and the weakest groups, against violence against women, increased by 30%, for aid to immigrants, in denouncing urban marginality (street art), and the depopulation of small towns. The lack of attention on the part of politics, in Italy, and in other European countries, has then generated real opposition movements, an exemplary case being the song “Danser encore,” whose lyrics expressed a protest against government-imposed restrictions, and which turned into flash mob events in many countries. The depoliticization of contemporary art, of which Yves Michaud wrote, is a past concept, because we can see artistic movements shifting towards the safeguarding of universal rights and duties, up to the latest interpretations of what justice is and how to overcome social inequalities according to the visions of Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum.
Symbol and Language in Action Public Discourse in Poland in the Context of Uncertainty and Unrest
Authors: Banaś Monika
Published: January 2023

The paper critically analyses forms and structure of public discourse in Poland in the context of recent crises and uncertainty. By focusing on language, symbols and metaphors used by dominant media, the author draws attention to processes and trends emerging in contemporary cultural-political narratives in Poland in 2020–2022. The analysis invites for a broader and deeper study of strategies used by post-media delivering infotainment instead of objective information.
O curso Técnico de Desenho Industrial do CEFET-PR: Contexto de criação, desafios e objetivos
Authors: Pinheiro Ana Carolina Martins , Braga Marcos Da Costa
Published: January 2023

Este artigo tem por objetivo compreender aspectos da criação, formação e consolidação, nos anos 1980, do pioneiro Curso Técnico de Desenho Industrial do Centro Federal de Educação Tecnológica do Paraná (CEFET-PR). Para isso, descreve as origens institucionais, que desde seu surgimento como Escola Técnica oferecia disciplinas relacionadas ao Desenho Industrial. Como estratégia metodológica, este trabalho se vale principalmente da abordagem da Micro-história e dos métodos História Oral. As fontes históricas levantadas foram os documentos institucionais da própria escola, matrizes curriculares e entrevistas com professoras do curso nos anos 1980. Fizemos também um estudo comparativo com os primeiros cursos superiores de Design em Curitiba (UFPR e PUC-PR). Este trabalho permite compreender melhor como o curso técnico do CEFET-PR foi se consolidando, como suas abordagens pedagógicas buscavam atender às necessidades locais da época e, ao mesmo tempo, manter os traços que o caracterizaram desde a fundação da instituição.
“A realidade nem sempre é frustrante”: Alinhando os modelos mentais de usuários com as reais capacidades de Assistentes de Voz (AVs)
Authors: Motta Isabela , Quaresma Manuela
Published: January 2023

Assistentes de Voz (AVs), como Alexa, estão cada vez mais populares, mas os modelos mentais dos usuários são incompatíveis com as reais capacidades desses sistemas. Para melhorar as interações, alinhar as percepções dos usuários com o real funcionamento dos AVs é necessário, e, para isso, é essencial considerar as percepções dos designers desses produtos. Assim, foram conduzidas entrevistas exploratórias semi-estruturadas com profissionais experientes em interfaces conversacionais, visando explorar suas opiniões sobre as causas para as lacunas nos modelos mentais dos usuários e identificar soluções para o problema. Os resultados indicaram que as características antropomórficas dos AVs e a apresentação de informações foram considerados influentes para as percepções dos usuários, assim como marketing, ficção científica e as características dos usuários. Ainda, aumentar a transparência do sistema foi considerada uma solução adequada, mas os designers precisam ter as habilidades e conhecimento para aplicar a solução, considerando as necessidades dos usuários e de usabilidade.
Diversidade como criatividade: revisão sistemática de métodos criativos para o manejo da cultura nos processos de design
Authors: Pozzer Christiano Hageman , Ribeiro Vinicius Gadis
Published: January 2023

O presente trabalho investiga as orientações teóricas de métodos criativos em processos de design para o manejo da diversidade cultural. Para tal, realiza-se uma revisão sistemática da literatura compreendendo artigos no escopo do design para a diversidade cultural, com ênfase em métodos e ferramentas criativas e de projeto. Os resultados obtidos indicam a predominância de práticas orientadas ao design transcultural, onde a diversidade cultural é tratada como obstáculo a ser contornado ou apenas como fonte de referência criativa indireta. Identificou-se, também, a crescente presença de métodos orientados para o design intercultural, onde a diversidade é considerada um componente ativo essencial para a produção de criatividade. Por fim, o artigo propõe uma discussão sobre a orientação epistemológica de cada método e como estes debates refletem os avanços no campo teórico e prático do design.

Authors: Rodrigues Juciara De Mesquita , Romani Elizabeth , Rugai Helena
Published: January 2023

Este artigo apresenta o processo de criação de um projeto de sinalização para as áreas internas de circulação do Museu Câmara Cascudo da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte. O projeto contempla os parâmetros do Design Universal e permite acessibilidade comunicacional para o visitante com deficiência visual. Dessa maneira, esta pesquisa objetiva tecer reflexões sobre a sinalização inclusiva a partir do processo descrito, pautada na revisão de literatura e nas normas vigentes no Brasil. O método proposto para o projeto é baseado em estudos de D’Agostini (2017) e Calori e Vanden-Eynden (2015) e é dividido nas etapas: planejamento, projeto, experimentação e documentação. Ao final do projeto, obteve-se como resultado a criação de um sistema de placas, um mapa tátil, uma proposta de implantação de piso tátil, sinalização complementar para escadas e um manual de uso da sinalização. Assim, espera-se que este artigo contribua com a divulgação de projetos com semelhantes especificidades.

O artigo investiga presença e a ausência da mulher na Política Externa Brasileira (PEB), a partir da análise de conteúdo, pela qual busca-se, nos discursos do Brasil nas sessões de abertura dos debates das reuniões anuais da Assembleia Geral das Nações Unidas (AGNU), os dados quantitativos e qualitativos sobre o objeto de estudo. O período analisado vai de 1946 a 2015, cobrindo todos os governos brasileiros que encerraram seu mandato, desde a criação da Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU) até o primeiro governo de uma mulher no Brasil. Da análise realizada observa-se o fechamento da PEB às questões de gênero ao longo da ditadura brasileira, mesmo em um contexto de forte promoção internacional dos direitos das mulheres. Por outro lado, o período pós-redemocratização revela maior reconhecimento desta temática. Finalmente, conclui-se pela maior presença da temática nos discursos de Dilma Rousseff, única mulher a chefiar o Executivo brasileiro até o momento.Palavras-chave: Política Externa Brasileira. Análise de política externa, Mulheres.ABSTRACTThe article investigates the presence and absence of women in Brazilian Foreign Policy (PEB), based on content analysis, which searches for quantitative and qualitative data on the object of study in Brazil's speeches at the opening sessions of the annual meetings of the United Nations General Assembly (AGNU). The analyzed period goes from 1946 to 2015, covering all Brazilian governments that ended their mandate, from the creation of the United Nations (UN) until the first government of a woman. From the analysis carried out we observe the PEB's closure to gender issues throughout the Brazilian dictatorship, even in a context of strong international promotion of women's rights. On the other hand, the post-democratization period reveals greater recognition of this theme. Finally, we conclude that there is a greater presence of the theme in the speeches of Dilma Rousseff, the only woman to head the Brazilian Executive Branch so far.Keywords: Brazilian Foreign Policy.
