The Global Citizenship Education in the training of teachers and students
Authors: Botes Philipp
Published: November 2024

As contemporary society becomes more complex, we need increasingly pragmatic approaches to individual development with regard to global citizenship education. Such approaches should be suitably applied in both school and non-school contexts and involving children, adolescents, and adults. This paper presents an Italian inter-institutional project that has led to the creation of a variety of training activities for teachers and students to systematize global citizenship education in schools and develop learning-teaching processes.
 
L’educazione alla cittadinanza globale nella formazione degli insegnanti e degli studenti.
Con il crescere della complessità della società contemporanea diviene necessario adottare approcci sempre più pragmatici orientati allo sviluppo individuale, in relazione all’educazione alla cittadinanza globale, che dovrebbero essere applicati in maniera adeguata sia nei contesti scolastici che extra-scolastici, coinvolgendo bambini, adolescenti e adulti. Questo articolo presenta un progetto inter-istituzionale italiano che ha portato alla creazione di una varietà di attività di formazione per insegnanti e studenti, al fine di sistematizzare l’educazione alla cittadinanza globale nelle istituzioni scolastiche e sviluppare processi di insegnamento-apprendimento.
Concerns and attitudes of future special education teachers: between sense of inadequacy and openess to change
Authors: Bruni Filippo , Filosofi Fabio , Gallo Vincenzo Antonio
Published: November 2024

National and international studies indicate that the opinions, concerns, and attitudes towards disability of pre-service and in-service teachers play a crucial role in the implementation of inclusion in the classroom. This paper presents the findings of a qualitative-quantitative questionnaire administered to a group of 404 students attending the special education training program at the University of Molise. The study has found an overall positive framework, despite some criticalities: the cohort’s attitudes towards disability were found to differ by grade and school level; a sense of inadequacy was detected regarding the role to be played. Findings are discussed taking into account possible directions for innovation.
 
Preoccupazioni e atteggiamenti dei futuri insegnanti di sostegno: tra senso di inadeguatezza e apertura al cambiamento.
Gli studi nazionali ed internazionali evidenziano che le opinioni, le preoccupazioni e gli atteggiamenti dei docenti in formazione e in servizio nei confronti della disabilità rivestono una funzione fondamentale nell’implementazione dell’inclusione scolastica in classe. In questa sede vengono riportati i risultati di un questionario quali-quantitativo somministrato ad un gruppo di 404 studenti frequentanti il Corso di Specializzazione presso l’Università degli Studi del Molise. Lo studio ha rilevato complessivamente un quadro positivo, nonostante alcune criticità: gli atteggiamenti della coorte nei confronti della disabilità sono risultati diversi a seconda dell’ordine e grado di scuola; è stato rilevato un senso di inadeguatezza nei confronti del ruolo da svolgere. I risultati sono discussi tenendo conto delle possibili direzioni volte all’innovazione.
The autobiographical interview in the continuing education of pedagogy practioners
Authors: Spano Andrea
Published: November 2024

Sudden social transformations require education professionals to have flexible tools, in order to self-produce knowledge and new professional skills. This short article argues the use of autobiographical interview as a device for the Continuing Education. In the first instance, the reciprocity and the circularity between third-person tale and autobiography is discussed. Secondly, the focus of the reflections moves onto the potential of autobiography, that also consists in creating a new culture about society and the differences that characterize the complexity of our world. Therefore, in accordance with the previous reflections, the use of autobiographical interview collection methods is proposed to support the professional development of educators, educational designers, and pedagogical counsellors. In fact, it is argued that the use of such tools can allow one to learn several aspects regarding different life conditions, to co-construct a Grounded Theory on the phenomena and to support a positive educational relationship.
 
L’intervista autobiografica nell’educazione permanente delle professionalità pedagogiche.
Le repentine trasformazioni sociali richiedono ai professionisti dell’educazione degli strumenti flessibili per autoprodurre conoscenza e nuove competenze professionali. In questo articolo breve si promuove l’intervista autobiografica come dispositivo dell’educazione continua. In prima battuta si affronta il rapporto di reciprocità e circolarità tra racconto e autobiografia. Successivamente, l’attenzione si sposta sul potenziale dell’autobiografia, che include la possibilità di creare una nuova conoscenza della società delle differenze che caratterizzano la complessità del nostro mondo. Pertanto, si propone l’ausilio dei metodi di raccolta delle interviste autobiografiche per sostenere lo sviluppo professionale degli educatori, dei progettisti educativi e dei consulenti pedagogici. Infatti, si sostiene che l’uso di tali strumenti può consentire di apprendere numerosi aspetti riguardanti le differenti condizioni di vita, di co-costruire una Grounded Theory sui fenomeni e di sostenere una relazione educativa positiva.
Re-education treatment in prison and Adult Education: from mission to theoretical models for the educational function
Authors: Basilisco Stefania
Published: November 2024

This article presents a reflection on the concept of the re-educative treatment of adult offenders while serving prison sentences, linking it to the disciplinary field of adult education. The reasoning starts from questioning about the mission of the prison system and its consistency with the constitutional rule of the re-educational purpose of punishment. We start with the connection between the concepts of mission and transformative learning (Mezirow), then we focus on the theoretical foundation of re-educative treatment, identifying adult education in a critical-emancipatory perspective as a valid and supportive reference for promoting and guiding educational processes, while being sentenced. The article is part of scientific reflections aimed to promote processes of organisational development, focused on re-educational treatment referred to the adult education field.
 
Il trattamento rieducativo in carcere e l’Educazione degli Adulti: dalla mission ai modelli teoretici per la funzione educativa.
In questo articolo si presenta una riflessione sul concetto di trattamento rieducativo degli adulti autori di reato, durante l’esecuzione della pena in carcere, collegandolo al campo disciplinare dell’educazione degli adulti. Il ragionamento prende avvio dall’interrogativo sulla mission del sistema penitenziario e sulla sua coerenza con l’indicazione costituzionale della finalità rieducativa della pena. A partire da un rapido rinvio alla connessione tra il concetto di mission e quello di apprendimento trasformativo in Mezirow, ci si concentra sulla fondazione teoretica del trattamento rieducativo, individuando nell’educazione degli adulti in prospettiva critico-emancipativa un riferimento valido e di supporto per promuovere ed orientare i processi educativi, durante l’esecuzione della pena e per attivare un pensiero critico rispetto ai modelli ed alle metodologie da utilizzare. L’articolo si inserisce in un filone di riflessioni che aspirano a promuovere processi di sviluppo organizzativo, focalizzati sul trattamento rieducativo, a partire dalla sottolineatura dell’utilità del riferimento al campo disciplinare dell’educazione degli adulti.
How to train university professors in assessment? A systematic literature review
Authors: Doria Beatrice , Grion Valentina , Zaggia Cristina
Published: November 2024

Educational research has recognized assessment as a crucial factor of university teaching, prompting Brown (2014) to consider that improving the quality of education requires a renewal of assessment practices. Such centrality suggests that university professors should adopt effective assessment practices. However, professors seem to exhibit forms of resistance to changing assessment practices, stemming from various reasons. Considering this, it would seem appropriate to develop training and research spaces specifically dedicated to assessment in the university context. This research, through a systematic literature review, aims to explore continuous training of university professors on assessment, to identify its peculiar characteristics and suggest guidelines for developing appropriate professional development initiatives. The results obtained may be of interest for designing effective assessment training programs and may also stimulate further research on the topic.
 
Come formare i docenti universitari alla valutazione? Una rassegna sistematica della letteratura.
La ricerca educativa ha riconosciuto la valutazione come un elemento cruciale della didattica universitaria, tanto da indurre Brown (2014) a considerare che per migliorare la qualità dell’istruzione sia necessario un rinnovamento delle pratiche valutative. Tuttavia, i docenti sembrano attuare forme di resistenza al cambiamento delle pratiche valutative, con motivazioni di varia natura. Pertanto, sembrerebbe opportuno sviluppare spazi formativi e di ricerca dedicati specificamente alla formazione alla valutazione in ambito universitario. Questa ricerca, attraverso una rassegna sistematica della letteratura, si propone proprio di esplorare la formazione continua dei docenti alla valutazione, per identificarne le caratteristiche peculiari e suggerire linee guida per sviluppare apposite iniziative di sviluppo professionale. I risultati ottenuti possono costituire elementi d’interesse per la progettazione di percorsi formativi efficaci sulla valutazione, stimolando ulteriori ricerche sull’argomento.

Selection, training, and further training of prison staff in Hungary
Authors: Miklósi Márta
Published: November 2024

The prison service is a key part of the public administration, an organisation with specialised tasks that has an impact on the everyday life of society, often carrying out its activities without people being aware of them until very rarely. In law enforcement, it is important that the employee and the employer can work together in the long term, which is a fundamental pillar of lawful and safe work.
The prison service is a key part of the public administration, an organisation with specialised tasks that has an impact on the everyday life of society, often carrying out its activities without people being aware of them until very rarely. In law enforcement, it is important that the employee and the employer can work together in the long term, which is a fundamental pillar of lawful and safe work. Today, law enforcement in Hungary has also realised that it is no longer enough to provide career opportunities under the law, but that it is necessary to provide a career path for employees in which they can fulfil their potential, while ensuring the legitimacy of the performance of law enforcement duties. Meeting this dual challenge has created new challenges for law enforcement managers, as additional resources are needed to ensure that the right person in the right job principle is respected. In my study, I will outline the selection and training system and describe how the training of prison staff is currently carried out in Hungary in the light of the legislation in force.
 
Selezione, formazione e aggiornamento del personale penitenziario in Ungheria.
L’amministrazione penitenziaria è una parte fondamentale della pubblica amministrazione. Si configura come un’organizzazione che ha compiti specifici, che hanno un impatto sulla società. Le modalità di svolgimento delle sue funzioni incidono sulle persone destinatarie dei servizi erogati dall’amministrazione penitenziaria e sul modo in cui le stesse si formano e trasformano, a prescindere dal loro livello di consapevolezza. Nel lavoro delle forze dell’ordine è importante che si instauri e mantenga un livello di collaborazione tra dipendenti e amministrazione pubblica, che possa garantire legalità e sicurezza correlate alle funzioni svolte e alle modalità di svolgimento. Oggi anche le forze dell’ordine ungheresi si sono rese conto che non è più sufficiente offrire opportunità di carriera previste dalla normativa. È invece necessario fornire ai lavoratori un percorso di carriera in cui possano esprimere il loro potenziale, garantendo al contempo la legittimità dell’esercizio delle funzioni di polizia. Questa duplice declinazione ha creato nuove sfide per l’amministrazione penitenziaria. Nel contributo viene illustrato il sistema di selezione e formazione e il modo in cui la formazione del personale penitenziario viene ad oggi realizzata in Ungheria alla luce della legislazione in vigore.

Published: November 2024

The article introduces the work that is being carried out by the national community on equal leadership issues. This is part of a survey that was commissioned by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Justice and Consumer Affairs. The preparatory phase of the European study consists of a desk analysis aimed at investigating practices, interventions, and actions that promote opportunities for women to play roles in decision-making processes within the political, economic, and social spheres. In parallel, workshops have been initiated to analyse the demands from business and civil society, with the goal of building a work plan. The research methods used over the two-year period included individual and group interviews, focus groups, and workshops. One of the outcomes achieved is the establishment of a national network of stakeholders and organisational actors. The networks has been actively involved in expressing the social demand related to equal leadership and in defining short- and medium-term actions to be implemented to foster equitable conditions for having women represented in the production, government, and associationism settings. The paper aims to present the results that the national network is developing, as an expression of social actions organised to initiate formative processes.

Il counseling professionale per i detenuti come persone a rischio.
Il presente contributo affronta il tema della consulenza professionale per detenuti, considerati come persone a rischio. I detenuti vengono considerati come persone per le quali si configura una situazione particolare per quanto concerne il loro inserimento lavorativo. Sono persone che spesso adottano un atteggiamento passivo nella ricerca di un lavoro. L’obiettivo del contributo è di illustrare in che modo è svolto il “career counselling” rispetto a persone a rischio, prendendo come oggetto di analisi il cluster delle persone ristrette nella loro libertà. Il metodo utilizzato è stato quello dell’indagine diagnostica. I risultati dello studio dimostrano che il career counselling è una componente significativa nel processo di attivazione professionale dei detenuti. È un buon punto di partenza, risveglia la necessità di migliorare la professionalizzazione, motivare allo svolgimento di una attività lavorativa e può contribuire all’efficace reinserimento sociale dei detenuti.
A review of critical pedagogy and the curriculum
Authors: Higuera Ramos Carlos , Estrada García Maria del Rosario , Juarez Popoca Diana
Published: November 2024

The transformations that have taken place in Mexico and in the world in recent decades, force us to rethink the pedagogical and philosophical bases on which the higher education curriculum is built so that it responds to the training needs that the new context demands. Critical pedagogy, in particular, is an emancipatory approach that uses research, critical reflection, dialectics and awareness to transform teaching, conceiving this as a process towards the formation of people who transform their social reality. In this theoretical and reflective work, a review is made of the contributions of critical pedagogy to the curriculum in higher education, taking into consideration different positions of thinkers such as Paulo Freire, Henry Giroux, Peter McLaren and Stephen Kemmis.
 
Una revisión de la pedagogía crítica y el currículo.
Las transformaciones que en México y en el mundo han tenido lugar en las últimas décadas, obligan a replantearnos las bases pedagógicas y filosóficas sobre las que se construye el currículo de la educación superior a fin de que éste dé respuesta a las necesidades formativas que el nuevo contexto exige. La pedagogía crítica, en particular, es un enfoque emancipatore que echa mano de la investigación, la reflexión crítica, la dialéctica y la toma de conciencia para transformar la enseñanza, concibiendo ésta como un proceso hacia la formación de personas transformadoras de su realidad social. En este trabajo, de corte teórico y reflexivo, se hace una revisión de las aportaciones de la pedagogía crítica al currículo en la educación superior tomando en consideración diferentes posturas de pensadores como Paulo Freire, Henry Giroux, Peter McLaren y Stephen Kemmis.

Diabetic Retinopathy Detection with Deep Learning Techniques on Fundus Photographs: A Review
Authors: O Odigie, M. , O George, G. , C Igodan, E.
Published: November 2024

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is an ocular condition that can affect individuals with diabetes mellitus (DM) and may lead to reduced vision or even blindness if not detected on time. Delay in diagnosis and disagreement in interpretation of retinal images by different health experts are some of the challenges that can occur during screening for DR. Deep learning (DL) techniques are currently used for classification of images across various domains including the ophthalmic imaging field. The implementation of this cutting edge technology for detection of DR could lead to improvement of existing eye care services for diabetic individuals. This paper discussed the publicly available datasets of retinal images of diabetic individuals used for training DL models. The efficiency of several convolutional neural networks (CNNs) created for the detection of different classes of DR was also reviewed. Furthermore, the achievements and the challenges faced in the application of DL techniques for the DR detection were discussed. Finally, future works that can be performed in this research area has been suggested.

Published: November 2024

This study aims to analyze and identify trends in the passing rates of graduates from a College of Teacher Education (CTE) over a four-year period, compare the passing rates between different programs within the CTE, and investigate the differences between the CTE graduates' passing rates and the national average passing rate for the Licensure Examination for Professional Teachers (LEPT). Employing a quantitative, longitudinal, and descriptive approach, the study interprets changes in performance from 2021 to 2024. Data were collected from official CTE records, ensuring compliance with ethical standards and data privacy regulations. The participants included all graduates who took the licensure examinations within the specified years, with data cleaned to handle missing information and remove outliers. Descriptive statistics, trend analysis, and comparative analysis against national averages were performed. The findings reveal an overall decline in passing rates from September 2021 to March 2024, with significant fluctuations. BEED graduates consistently outperformed the national average, suggesting potential differences in program content or student preparedness compared to BSEd programs. Conversely, BSEd graduates exhibited more variable performance. The study underscores the need for targeted interventions and further investigation to understand the underlying causes of these trends, ultimately aiming to enhance the quality and consistency of teacher education programs.

Published: November 2024

Background: Delayed union fractures pose a significant clinical challenge, often requiring enhanced treatment modalities to accelerate healing and improve patient outcomes. Various techniques, including autologous bone grafting and biologic agents like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), have been employed to stimulate bone regeneration. However, the optimal approach remains debated. Objective: This study aimed to compare the efficacy of autologous bone grafting, biologic agents, and combined therapies in promoting fracture healing, reducing pain, improving functional outcomes, and enhancing patient satisfaction in delayed union fractures. Methods: A prospective study was conducted on 80 patients with delayed union fractures. Patients were randomly assigned to one of four groups: standard care (control), autologous bone grafting, biologic agents (PRP and BMPs), or a combination of bone grafting and biologic agents. Radiographic healing was assessed at 6, 12, and 24 weeks. Pain intensity was measured using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), functional outcomes were assessed using the AAOS lower limb function scale, and patient satisfaction was evaluated using a Likert scale. Results: The combined therapy group exhibited significantly faster radiographic healing, with 80% of patients showing callus formation at 6 weeks and 95% achieving complete union at 24 weeks, compared to 35% in the control group. The combined group also reported the greatest reduction in VAS pain scores, with a mean decrease from 7.8 to 1.5 at 24 weeks (p<0.001). Functional outcomes were significantly improved in the combined group, with a mean AAOS score of 100 at 24 weeks, compared to 70 in the control group (p<0.001). Additionally, 90% of patients in the combined group reported high satisfaction, compared to 40% in the control group. Conclusion: The combination of autologous bone grafting and biologic agents, such as PRP and BMPs, significantly accelerates ..........

Consideration of Issues surrounding Healthcare Policy in 2024
Authors:   Korea Anti-Corruption Law Association, Yang Eunyoung
Published: November 2024

Collective action, such as strikes in the medical community, has been a social problem that has occurred countless times around the world in various causes and methods. Since human history is based on health, the medical community that has a great relevance to it is surrounded by complex and wide-ranging issues. In the case of the Korean medical community, a small collective action since the 1950s and a huge collective action called the four major doctor strikes since the 2000s have led to a serious health care disaster crisis called a medical chaos. This is the result of insufficient initial responses that overlooked the inadequacies of legal and appropriate solutions and the possibility of enormous social waves. The national crisis caused by the collective action against the promotion of medical policies currently facing must now be fundamentally resolved. Until now, the legitimacy of this collective action in the medical community has been controversial. Doctors may have different interpretations of their legal status depending on individual business owners, workers, and trainees, so their legality as an act of labor dispute may also change. However, if it is directly related to the people's health rights and causes serious violations of life and health, the legitimacy cannot be recognized even if it is any legal method. However, the profession of doctors is also part of the people whose basic rights should not be violated by excessive ethical obligations. Therefore, it is not acceptable to cause a medical gap, maintain an emotional confrontation with the government, lack of willingness to actively consult, or unfair behavior for internal unity, but the government also cannot avoid criticism that it is not mature, with many problems of content, procedures, processes and law in promoting policies, and emotional confrontation with the medical community. The confrontation between the government and the medical community is also a question of the legitimacy of actions based on rights and authority, but regardless, it must be responsible for recovering significant inconveniences to the public health environment due to defects in methods and procedures of realization, which must be fulfilled as an ethical obligation as well as legal and policy. Therefore, we need to make a compromise on the policy content, such as adjusting an increase in medical students and a medical fee for this situation, and introduce various systems to supplement this. ln the process of such compromise and coordination, procedural laws or consultation procedures should be prepared, and furthermore, it is emphasized that legalization of positions, procedures, and special cases that can clearly bear the responsibility for the results is necessary while clarifying legal status.

According to the analytical review, the shrinkage strain decrease as a result of the fibers adding was noted by the researchers without analyzing the reason for the phenomenon. Therefore the purpose of the study is to establish the reason for the decrease of the shrinkage strain of expanded clay concrete with the addition of polypropylene fibers. Results. It has been confirmed that the polypropylene fiber addition reduces the total shrinkage strain of expanded clay concrete by 29—34 % on the 120th day with the volume content of fibers of 0.36 %. Empirical dependences of deformations compatibility for expanded clay fiber-reinforced concrete and expanded clay fiber-steel-reinforced concrete are set forth. Conclusions. It has been experimentally established that fiber is a significant factor on the first days of the concrete mixture hardening, when the elastic modulus of the fiber is greater than or equal to the elastic modulus of the cement stone. Fibers act as a bond and affect the redistribution of shrinkage stresses within the composite, thus reducing the values of the total shrinkage strain.

Statement of the problem. Rheological characteristics of concrete samples made with the use of various bioadditives are studied. Results. The results of experimental studies of the rheological properties of concrete, taking into account the effect of dietary supplements based on the following strains of bacteria B.subtilis, Ps.aeruginosa, with urease activity, are presented. Conclusions. The values of the cone sediment of concrete mixtures made using various grades of Portland cement were obtained, the values of conditional viscosity were also established, and the limiting shear stress and compressive strength of the obtained concrete cube samples made using urease bioadditives were determined. It was found that the use of dietary supplements leads to a decrease in the conditional viscosity of the mixture by 2 times, as well as to an increase in compressive strength by at least 15 %. Thus, it has been established that bioadditives improve the quality of the bond between the components of concrete, making it more durable and resistant to loads, as well as its rheological characteristics.

Published: November 2024

Statement of the problem. The features of the physical and chemical interaction of waste from the production of granular expanded zeolite obtained on the basis of natural zeolite with cement binder in order to obtain a composite binder for energy-efficient and waste-free technology of concrete production are investigated. The study is caused by interest in the issue of phase transformations and changes in the physicochemical properties of the initial natural zeolite in the production of granular expanded zeolite and the peculiarities of their influence on the processes of structure formation of cement composites, which has not been previously considered. Results. The paper investigates the raw materials produced by the enterprise for the extraction and enrichment of natural zeolite, substandard grains (bream and split grains) were used as a waste product of the production of granular foam zeolite. It is established that when natural zeolite passes the technological cycle for the production of granular foam-ceolite, amorphization and consolidation of the mineral components of natural zeolite occurs, characterized in its initial state by a variety of morphostructures and polyminerality. The studied waste from the production of granular foam ceolite is also characterized by a higher hardness, which leads to an increase in the duration of grinding, compared with «soft» natural zeolite. Conclusions. It is shown that natural zeolite and waste from the production of granular foam ceolite are characterized by a large amount of absorbed CaO, which positively correlates with the strength of the binders obtained on their basis and the quality coefficient as a component of the composite binder.
Prefab: New Technologies and Prospects of the Construction Industry
Authors: E.D. Evsevnina , V.S. Vorobyev
Published: November 2024

Statement of the problem. The main factors in the construction industry are: the cost of the project, its duration and uniqueness. Their achievement is facilitated by the currently developing pre-fabrication, the essence of which is reduced to the factory or factory manufacture of parts with their subsequent assembly into structural elements, modules and objects in general. At the same time, technologies, organization of construction and management of prefab processes have not been worked out to date. Results. A systematic review of the implementation of buildings using prefab technology with high factory readiness is proposed. An overview of modules that can be integrated into on-site projects with less waste and higher quality control compared to projects that use a traditional type of construction is provided. The difference between the prefab method and the modular assembly of a construction object is emphasized. An overview of the prefab products currently on the market is given. Conclusions. The article substantiates the directions of improving the quality of manufactured buildings inherent in prefab technologies, as well as the environmental friendliness and energy efficiency of this technology. A fragment of a BIM model with a calendar and construction schedule for the construction of a prefab house, prefab technologies used in Russia and in particular in Novosibirsk, is presented.
O CONCEITO DARDELIANO DE GEOGRAFICIDADE REPRESENTADO NA LITERATURA BRASILEIRA CONTEMPORÂNEA
Authors: Nunes André Gustavo , Torres Marcos Alberto
Published: November 2024

Fundamentado nas teorizações de Ernst Cassirer (1874-1945) referente à sua filosofia das formas simbólicas (Cassirer, 1923) e nos conceitos fundamentais de Éric Dardel sobre a dimensão espacial da realidade e de geograficidade (Dardel, 1952), o presente texto apresenta, inicialmente, uma substanciosa fundamentação teórica acerca dos conceitos de realidade e representação e seus desdobramentos ao longo da história do pensamento humano. Em seguida, um panorama teórico-conceitual é apresentado no que tange aos temas da dimensão espacial da realidade presentes tanto na realidade geográfica (Dardel, 1952), quanto na realidade literária (Cardoso, 1985). Posteriormente, aplicando uma metodologia de análise sumariamente dardeliana, o texto expõe três análises distintas de diferentes obras literárias brasileiras contemporâneas sob o ponto de vista das representações das relações estabelecidas entre os seres humanos e a natureza, trazendo fragmentos extraídos das obras de referência e identificando os possíveis tipos de geograficidades nelas constantes. Finalmente, em última instância, é do interesse dos autores do presente texto a promoção de reflexões que versem sobre as relações que atualmente temos estabelecido com aquilo que compreendemos por natureza a partir de suas representações literárias.
PAISAGEM NO CINEMA: UMA FORMA DE EXPRESSAR GEOGRAFIA
Authors: Lima Pedro Tabarkiewicz de , Lindner Michele
Published: November 2024

Este texto pretende mostrar como o conceito de paisagem, ao se relacionar às formas de que o cinema discorre sobre a mesma e aplica em sua paisagem fílmica, também é uma maneira de expressar geografia. Passando por uma análise relacionada à geografia dos sentidos e percepções até compreender a paisagem fílmica como uma preservação de um recorte histórico importante para o entendimento histórico de determinada paisagem. Busca-se mostrar que o cinema e a geografia cultural estão interligados na representação da paisagem e a intersecção das áreas tende a contribuir com a capacidade de estudar a paisagem e moldá-la artisticamente, permitindo compreender recortes geográficos através do cinema.
PLACES OF HOPE: A CINEMATIC AND THEOLOGICAL EXPLORATION
Authors: Branco Sérgio Dias
Published: November 2024

Christian theology distinguishes between cardinal virtues and theological virtues. Hope (spes) is one of the three theological virtues, along with faith (fidei) and love (caritas). Contrary to cardinal virtues, theological virtues are not humanly acquired, but divinely infused. This article considers the representation of the theological virtue of hope in contemporary cinema. It argues that the theological virtue of hope is represented in film through its placement in the daily existence of film characters. This is a way for hope to become a virtue that allows human life to partake in divine life. Yet this raises a generic question: what links exist between a virtue and a place? More specifically: what connections does cinema explore between the virtue of hope and places or spaces? I develop this reflection through the analysis of two films with significant differences: Silent Light (Stellet Licht, 2007), directed by Mexican Carlos Reygadas, with strong religious references, and the more secular Fire at Sea (Fuocoammare, 2016), directed by Italian Gianfranco Rosi.
