As an Islamic nation producing Halal food products, Halal food producers in Brunei are expected to have essential economic strategies to exploit the benefits of the Halal market, and eventually drive the country in becoming a global Halal hub. However, due to the scarcity of information and limited availability of knowledge on Brunei as a global Halal hub, it is difficult to determine the position of Brunei as a hub. Thus, the main aim of this research is to investigate whether Brunei has grown into a global-regional halal hub, specifically on in food production. The research findings do suggest that Brunei is well connected in terms of exportation and outsourcing activity on raw materials, technology, and services, on a regional scale. Network embeddedness through strategic coupling and decoupling of inter and intra-firms’ relations within and beyond the borders based on cost-capability ratio, the infrastructure for business transactions, and the network complementarities in terms of raw materials, technologies, research and development (R&D), and services have an impact on Brunei's hub in the making’ status. However, some aspects need to be addressed that can affect long-term sustainability and competitiveness. This includes producers’ production capabilities marked by lack of R&D, low intensity of exportation activity, and the lack of two-ways traffic communication between the government and the private sectors. This, if not addressed, will hinder the expansion of Brunei into the global market and stifles the country’s current progress to upgrade itself into a global halal hub.

Astrotourism is tourism that uses astronomy as its main attraction. As astrotourism requires astronomy phenomena, it requires a location free from light pollution. As some have posited locations free from light pollution as one of the cultivating elements for maintaining sustainability, Astrotourism can be used to achieve sustainability. Sustainability can be put under the umbrella of Maqasid Syariah and halal tourism. It is thus of utmost importance to demonstrate the unique capabilities of Malaysia as a viable Astrotourism attraction and how it can help achieve the goal of sustainability, both of which are the objectives of this research. Two methods are employed in this study; the first is to identify potential Astrotourism sites using the dark sky database, light pollution mapping and Garstang formulation of light pollution. The second method is comprised of identifying the cultivating elements of sustainability. Through this method, three potential Astrotourism sites could enhance the notion of sustainability, including sustainability from the economic, wellbeing and biodiversity aspects and, more importantly, sustainability towards the holistic practice of Islam. This demonstrates the encompassing benefit of Astrotourism towards sustainability and its development potential in Malaysia.

Published: December 2022

The trend of foundation embroidery treatment has been widespread and frenzy among Muslim women. Foundation embroidery is one of the most sophisticated facial treatments in Malaysia. With the overly and grossly obsessed attitude toward beautiful faces, most women are willing to spend hundreds of money to look gorgeous in front of society. The sophistication of technology nowadays, especially involving facial treatment and so on, requires a lot and depth research and explanation because this not only consists of the safety of our health but also relates to Islamic law, especially for Muslim women. Thus, the objective of this study is to investigate the procedures and classification of foundation embroidery treatment as it is one of the most popular facial treatments nowadays, especially in Malaysia. Apart from that, this research aims to evaluate the law governing this therapy from a halal perspective and the health risks associated with foundation embroidery. A qualitative research method was employed in which the process of getting high-quality information from literature is studied inductively and deductively. The findings of this study reveal that health organisations and Islamic law prohibit the treatment of foundation embroidery as it gives more harm and risks to the consumer even though the consumer’s intention is in a good way. The study of scientists and dermatologists also proves it.
Travel: A Conceptual Framework in Travel Protection Plan Subscription Behaviour among Millennials

Published: December 2022

Due to evolving travel trends, safety and security in tourism have become a huge challenge for Malaysians. A series of accidents can drag travellers down to suffer from financial loss; thus, this demands essential coverage for protection during the trip. Despite that, the percentage of Malaysian travellers that subscribe to the Travel Protection Plan (TPP) remains low due to uninsured behaviour caused by a lack of awareness and knowledge, especially among millennials. This paper examines the literature that determines the grounded theories to identify factors that will engage more subscribers towards TPP through content analysis of past consumer behaviour studies. The systematic literature review used in the study shows that past literature has tapped into marketing, performance, sales, product, medical and law implementation areas but scarcely on behaviour areas. The authors proposed that actual behaviour among Millennial travellers can be understood using Decomposed Theory of Behaviour (DTPB) and Risk Perception Theory (RPT), which comprise two factors that influence the subscription behaviour, namely implicit and explicit attitude in TPP subscription. Finally, the article outlined the framework that would construct key strategies from the insight of travellers’ and practitioners' interviews in line with the proposed theories to understand the actual behaviour of subscription among Millennial travellers. The paper will be useful to researchers, market players and travellers to understand the importance of a Travel Protection Plan subscription before embarking on their journey.

The establishment of the International Association of Museums (ICOM) shows a global commitment to promoting and preserving cultural heritage, especially in the modern age. ICOM provides a unique professional network of museums and museum professionals from countries around the world as members. The museum serves as an exhibition place of national treasures and an educational institution. However, there are responses from the Salafi Jihadists, an orthodox Islamic group, who oppose the establishment of museum institutions. Some Muslims believe this narrative represents the true teachings of Islam. Anti-museum means strongly opposing the museum as an institution with its three (3) functions; preserving, studying and exhibiting tangible and intangible historical heritage. Thus, the objective of this study is to apply the wasatiyyah approach by analysing the arguments of the anti-museum based on the philosophy of iconoclasm and Salafi jihad ideologies. It also aims to reject the arguments of an anti-museum approach using the qualitative method and case study design. This study employs a qualitative approach through library research to collect primary and secondary data related to the museum institutions. The analysis of this study uses the content analysis method. This study found that Islam does not reject museums as an institution and does not practice anti-museum sentiments.

The halal cosmetics industry is an industry that is beginning to gain a place in the range of beauty products in the Malaysian market. The issue of cosmetic products categorized as timbang kilo beauty cosmetics with a percentage of scheduled poisons prompts cosmetic users in the market to look for safer products. This scenario provides an excellent opportunity for halal cosmetic products. This research found the increase in demand for halal cosmetic products is influenced by the knowledge, attitude, and environment of consumers. Therefore, the objective of this study is to analyze whether the religious factor is capable of being a mediator in the relationship between the factors of knowledge, attitude, and consumer environment with the decision to purchase halal cosmetic products. The questionnaire was conducted online using Google Forms. The total response rate that has been received is as much as 234 people, however, after carrying out the data screening process, 33 samples are invalid respondents and have been dropped. This reduced the total sample to 201 people. Therefore, this study focuses on 201 working Muslim women in Selangor. The results of the study found the coefficient value for the religious factor as a mediator of knowledge, attitude and environment factors are 0.145 while the standard error value is 0.027. For the effect of the mediator on consumer purchase decisions on halal cosmetic products, the coefficient value is 0.117 while the standard error value is 0.049. The researcher also conducted the Sobel test. The result of the Sobel test was 2.18, with an associated P value of 0.029 falling below the set alpha level of 0.05. This shows that there is a significant relationship between the mediator with the independent variable and the dependent variable. In other words, the religious factor is confirmed as a mediator in the relationship between independent variables and dependent variables. The results of this finding can be concluded that the application of religious values can influence the decision to purchase halal cosmetic products. The application of religious values in individuals encourages consumers to choose halal products as demanded in Islam.

The implementation of the Quality Management System (QMS) around the world is still based on practices from the West that only emphasize external impact. Nowadays, the implementation of SPK no longer emphasizes the aspect of quality product or service output, but rather emphasizes its effect on the internal aspect or human element holistically. Accordingly, the implementation of Islamic SPK that complies with Shariah was first introduced in organizations in the country and the problem is that each organization tries to implement it with their own approach. Therefore, this paper aims to explore in depth the relationship between the implementation of virtuous values in cooperation with SPK Patuh Syariah (MS 1900:2014) by organizations that have successfully obtained its certification. This research method uses a quantitative research design through the distribution of questionnaires sent to respondents by simple random sampling. All data findings were analyzed descriptively and inferentially using IBM SPSS software. The results of the study show that the value of collaboration approach (r2 = .817 and p = .000) is influencing the implementation of a quality management system that complies with Shariah. Therefore, the managers should implement the value of cooperation in the MS 1900 initiative so that the implementation of the SPK can be implemented effectively. In principle, the results of this study can generate another empirical study for MS 1900 so that the noble values that comply with Shariah, which is the value of cooperation, can be practiced by every individual in the organization, especially in higher education institutions in the country, and further develop an organization that produces outstanding human capital in the world and ukhrawi.
Choice Criteria for Halal Financing: Religiosity as Mediator

This paper aims to examine the factors of Muslims' intention toward halal financing by considering religiosity as a mediator. The data were collected through a survey of 220 Muslims in Malaysia and were analyzed using the Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) technique. The returned survey was N=211, and the results showed that attitudes and subjective norms positively affect the intention to use halal financing. Religiosity has a mediation effect on the intention to use halal financing. Managers and marketers of Islamic banks may benefit from the findings of this study, which provide insight into the factors that should be considered to promote halal financing. The findings contribute to the literature on halal financing products by demonstrating the drivers of intention to use halal financing. The study also extends the literature by testing the mediating role of religiosity. Furthermore, the study extends the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) in the context of halal financing by introducing religiosity as a potential driver of intention and mediator effect.
Collagen Products: Issue of Halalness and the Consumers’ Tendency of Acceptance

Published: December 2022

Collagen is essential to a human being because it is an important source of amino acids. Lack of collagen may cause health problems such as decreased joint elasticity and aging. Collagen is in high demand, especially in food and beverages, cosmetics, and health industries. Nevertheless, the sources of collagens and gelatins are recently being questioned, particularly among Muslim users, on the status of halãlness. The study's objective is to derive the guiding principles from the Qur’ãnic and Prophetic points of view related to sources of collagen products. This study also aims to explore the tendency that consumers in Malaysia will choose halal collagen in their consumption and its determinants. Both qualitative and quantitative methods are adopted. Analytical, inductive, and deductive approaches are used under the qualitative method. Descriptive and logistic regression are used under the quantitative method in which data are collected from a survey. The study finds that any collagen products sourced from bovine bone, bovine hide, porcine skin, and non-slaughtered animals are non-halal. The sources obtained that might affect the ecosystem and environment are highly discouraged in Islam, and the use of recombinant collagen-like protein from selected bacteria is permissible as long as it complies with the related halal and health regulations imposed by the authorities. Empirically, the probability that consumers opt for halal collagen is significantly determined by gender, age, religion, education, and income level. The likelihood of consumers opting for halal collagen is higher among the elderly, females, Muslims, highly educated consumers, and middle-income consumers. The empirical results also reveal that consumers' tendency to choose halal collagen is significantly influenced by the idea that the collagen should support Maqasid Shariah and be approved by JAKIM.

Food logistics services is a fast-paced and globalized industry that enables short-lived and perishable supply chains transported from initial sources to customers within weeks, days, and sometimes hours. However, some concern arises as it poses several risks and exposes the food to hazards due to quick handling and the large volume involved. This paper briefly discusses the types of hazard associated with halal food logistics and identify the potential source of hazards that may occur during the activities. The study focuses on perishable food. The study identifies hazards during product handoffs or transfers at ports, transfer facilities, distribution centres (movement into or out of), and customer deliveries. The result established two out of the eight logistics activities evaluated to have control points (CP) and halal CP; which are storage temperature checks and product packaging and repackaging activity such as the need to do segregation, temperature control and packaging during food transport. The study suggests control measures to reduce or prevent the hazard. The information presented here is valuable for the food logistics providers in delivering products to the customer in adequate condition at the right time.
An Evil Letter, and the Destinies of the Forgotten Passacaglia. The Twilight of the Third Symphony “Ovid” by Sigismund Toduță

Published: December 2022

"The author does not intend to write a booklet about the Symphony No. 3 “Ovid” (1957) by Sigismund Toduță, but rather to complete the missing pieces of its history. Still in 2004, the manuscript of the symphony’s finale was still missing. With its discovery in 2013, research confirmed its uniqueness and originality. Now, in 2022, at the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the Toduță Foundation, we reveal those derogatory remarks that led to the ‘amputated’ publication of the Passacaglia followed by the symphony’s fade into oblivion. All began with a young university assistant from Bucharest who addressed a letter to the only Romanian citizen with a PhD in music (Rome, 1933), the nationally and internationally recognized composer, awarded by George Enescu himself. How did this 28 years old juvenile dare to write to the 51 years old master in such a defamatory tone? If it was part of a political task, whom did it serve? Who had anything to gain by removing from the Romanian musical heritage this remarkable work, composed on the two-millennium anniversary of Ovid’s birth - the adored but banished poet? Would it be fair to respect the composer’s wish and forget this troublesome Passacaglia? Wouldn’t it be a mistake against the creation itself, which once born, deserves publicity? With these questions this paper reconstructs the events, still leaving in the twilight the truth behind the faces of Ovid. Keywords: originality, paraphrase, pastiche, restorations, rehabilitations, re-editing "
Written Sources in the Repertoire of the Christmas Carols From the Transylvanian Plain

Published: December 2022

"In the structure of the carols from the Transylvanian Plain has survived an old material of tunes and texts. The origin of some song’s dates back as far as the 16th century, and from that period to the 19th century the set of songs had been enriched with more and more tunes. In the material collected by the author an important style group is the Variants of the songs from the hymnals. The author argues that even if the written or printed forms still have their role in the learning, remembering, and singing of Christmas songs, the learning of new tunes or the passing of the old ones to the new generation happens by the well-known oral tradition and not with the help of music sheets. Keywords: Christmas songs, Transylvanian Plain, oral tradition. "
"The Circulation of a Melodic Type of Scholarly Carol From the Land of the Foresters, Hunedoara "

Published: December 2022

"The religious carol or with scholarly influence is a musical typological category that is less addressed in the specialized music literature, especially entering the area of interest of religious music. Due to this provenance and a relatively recent evolution in time (only a few hundred years), we find a distinct melodicity compared to the authentic Romanian carol. Melodic variants identified mainly in the Land of the Foresters, Hunedoara, circulate in southern Transylvania on religious carol texts, being collected in the field more than 100 years ago (Bartók, 1913). By the number of variations, we realize that it is a very beloved song, easy to remember, which closes the cycle of the Winter Holidays (Epiphany). The present research aims to identify the melodic variants of this scholarly carol, as well as, most importantly, its spread within other folk genres: old-style songs and dance songs. Keywords: Land of the Foresters, Hunedoara, scholarly carol "

En la historia reciente, Medio Oriente se ha visto enfrentado a una serie sucesiva de convulsiones sociales de largo alcance, que si bien no sorprenden ahora a ninguno, pocos habrían imaginado. Un desarrollo tan vertiginoso de acontecimientos que haocasionado ya la caída de más de un régimen en la región. Algunos estudiosos, como el autor que nos ocupa, en cierta manera se habían anticipado a la proyección de la idea de revolución sobre toda esta zona, aunque, para este caso, desde un enfoque preeminentemente sociológico.

Authors: De Diego Pérez de la Torre Alba
Published: December 2022

La guerra de Vietnam marcó el sentir histórico-cultural de una época y dio lugar a un fértil movimiento literario que aunó testimonios verídicos y revisiones del conflicto por parte de autores de diversos países. Hoy en día, el carácter más realista de los primeros textos se ha combinado, desde el punto de vista creativo, con propuestas muy innovadoras. En este ámbito sobresale la novela Ru, de Kim Thúy, donde a través de la autoficción y de un estilo narrativo híbrido, entre la prosa y la poesía, se explora la complejidad que entraña el fenómeno del exilio y el desarraigo. El objetivo del presente artículo es analizar la profundidad de esta obra, que proporciona al lector una valiosa materia de reflexión sobre cuestiones históricas, literarias, sociales y psicológicas.
Principales corrientes ideológicas en el Túnez colonial: del reformismo islámico a los movimientos de izquierda
Authors: Hernández-Justo T.
Published: December 2022

En un momento histórico tan crucial para Túnez como el del protectorado francés, el ambiente cultural era un crisol donde multitud de ideologías, internas e importadas, pugnaban por ganar el terreno intelectual y político. Por una parte, teorías como la salafiyya, el reformismo islámico y el panarabismo entraron con fuerza desde territorios de mayoría islámica; por otra, llegaron de Europa, con los colonos y los trabajadores, numerosas ideologías de izquierda, como el marxismo, el anarquismo o el socialismo. En este artículo se analiza el ambiente intelectual y político de Túnez durante la primera mitad del protectorado francés, con especial atención a estos dos grupos de ideologías.
Umbrales culturales en la dramaturgia del coreano Choi In-Hun
Authors: Báez Ayala Susana
Published: December 2022

En este artículo se analiza la dramaturgia de Choi In-Hun en su trilogía Tres obras de teatro (2007), desde los planteamientos de Byung-Chul Han para colocarnos en los umbrales de lo des/conocido a través del análisis textual que atiende al concepto de hipertextualidad como una estructura libertaria para quien se coloca en los umbrales culturales. En referencia a la cultura coreana, la dramaturgia de esta región y la de Choi In-Hun desde la deixis que nos construye de acuerdo con la mirada occidentalizada que predomina en Latinoamérica, este trabajo destaca cómo los textos estudiados ofrecen la posibilidad de re/conocer la fuerza de los rituales que estructuran las obras Choi In-Hun, la capacidad de los pueblos para resistir a la desaparición de su diversidad, y el acercamiento que las letras coreanas permiten a la complejidad sociocultural al evidenciar la diversidad en las relaciones humanas.
Victimhood and Denial: Recent Scholarship on the Legacy of the Indonesian Mass Murders of 1965-66
Authors: Lundry Chris
Published: December 2022

Recent scholarship continues to shed light on the 1965-66 anti-communist massacres in Indonesia, as well as its effect on Cold War politics around the globe. John Roosa’s Buried Histories: The Anti-Communist Massacres of 1965-66 in Indonesia (2020) is his third book on the subject, and explains, through rigorous case studies, some of the variation in the scope of the killings due to the role of the military and militias. Vincent Bevins’ The Jakarta Method: Washington’s Anticommunist Crusade and the Mass Murder Program that Shaped Our World (2020) argues that the Indonesian case became a “playbook” for other right-leaning forces to crush communism in Latin America and elsewhere, and has left a legacy of legitimized violence from which many have not yet recovered.

Authors: Nicola Dapelo Luciano
Published: December 2022

En este artículo nos proponemos indagar en el proceso de construcción de una esfera pública y una sociedad civil moderna en Río Cuarto a lo largo de la década de 1870. Para ello indagamos en el proceso de construcción de espacios de sociabilidad, particularmente los de la élite, y el desarrollo de la prensa en el ámbito local, junto a otros elementos, como la aparición de un banco con capitales regionales, que dan cuenta de aquel proceso. Con ello, podemos demostrar la rápida transformación institucional, urbana y social que medió e integró elementos tradicionales y modernos en un marco cosmopolita. Para lo anterior, trabajamos con correspondencia privada, diarios locales, documentación oficial del municipio y la Jefatura Política. Dada la temática del objeto de estudio construido, se recurrirá como marco de análisis a una metodología cualitativa, basada en la lectura y análisis de diversas fuentes documentales. La información recopilada será abordada enmarcada en los procesos desarrollados a nivel provincial y nacional. Ello permitirá la articulación de los niveles macro y micro y, por ende, estudiar con un nivel importante de detalle los procesos, establecer con mayor rigor las relaciones de causalidad y pensarlos.

Autoritarismo y narrativas sobre subalternidad en Guatemala y El Salvador: el comunista y el marero
Authors:   Coordinadora científica, Centro María Sibylla Merian de Estudios Latinoamericanos Avanzados (CALAS), Universidad de Kassel, Lungo Rodríguez Irene
Published: December 2022

Este artículo explora dos narrativas sobre subalternidad promovidas desde el Estado y grupos de poder conservadores en Guatemala y El Salvador: la narrativa del comunista y la del marero, haciendo hincapié en su papel como soporte cultural del autoritarismo. Retomando nociones gramscianas sobre el «sentido común» y la propuesta de «economía moral» de Thompson, se analiza cómo se han tejido y re-actualizado narrativas sobre sujetos subalternos considerados extremadamente «peligrosos» y susceptibles de ser «erradicados». Asimismo, se identifican elementos compartidos en ambos casos de estudio y las particularidades de cada uno. Según nuestra perspectiva, estas narrativas permiten dotar de una suerte de racionalidad a prácticas autoritarias extremadamente violentas y de larga data en la región.

Una consecuencia del denominado «estallido social» de octubre de 2019 en Chile fue la erosión del canon ideológico hegemónico, esto es, el neoliberalismo como paradigma de modernidad. Por consiguiente, la (re)aparición de diversas corrientes de opinión al interior del campo intelectual conservador chileno no solo refleja la pérdida de hegemonía ideológica, sino también constata su capacidad de reacción y adaptación para responder a un escenario donde su sistema de creencias se encuentra bajo amenaza. El artículo analiza algunas de estas corrientes tomando como ejemplos paradigmáticos a cuatro autores: Axel Kaiser (liberalismo), Pablo Ortúzar (corporativismo), Hugo Herrera (socialcristianismo) y Alexis López Tapia (nacionalismo). En particular, interesa observar sus lecturas sobre la naturaleza del estallido, los desplazamientos políticos suscitados, las tensiones ideológicas y conceptuales aparecidas, así como detectar continuidades y rupturas en términos de tradiciones, prácticas, ideas e imaginarios sociales.
«Con suerte, llegará el día de Nietzsche»: las raíces iliberales de la Alt-Right
Authors:   Investigadora, International Centre for Counter-Terrorism (ICCT)., Molas Bàrbara
Published: December 2022

Este artículo se centra en el impacto de pensadores europeos –cuyas ideas influenciaron los movimientos nazi y fascista de entreguerras en el siglo xx– sobre el actual movimiento de extrema derecha digital de la Alt-Right, localizado sobre todo en Estados Unidos. En concreto, explora las ideas sobre gobierno autoritario desarrolladas por intelectuales como Friederich Nietzsche (1844-1900), principalmente, o Julius Evola (1898-1974), y su uso contemporáneo en el discurso empleado por el líder de dicha corriente política iliberal estadounidense, Richard B. Spencer. El objetivo es construir un análisis del pensamiento de la derecha radical transnacional, específicamente del pensamiento autoritario, a través del tiempo y de medios totalmente distintos como pueden ser la literatura versus Internet.

Despite numerous advances in fertility techniques, some individuals experience implantation failure. One of the therapeutic approaches is the study of immunological aspects of the implantation process in recurrent implantation failure (RIF) patients. Peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) therapy and platelet-rich plasma are currently available cell therapies. The aim of this study was to determine the expressions of the FGFR-2 and LIF genes that are regulated by miR-199a-5p and miR-125b-5p. These genes play a fundamental role in implantation in RIF patients treated with PBMCs. 20 patients clinically diagnosed with RIF were randomly assigned to a RIF patient with PBMCs intrauterine infusion group (n = 10) and RIF group (n = 10). Normal, healthy females (n = 10) comprised the control group. In order to examine the efficacy of the PBMCs injection in the treatment group, expressions of miR-199a-5p and miR-125-5p and FGFR-2 and LIF as their target genes, were evaluated in all three groups and were compared the results. We discovered that the RIF group had higher expressions of miR-199a-5p and miR-125-5p along with decreased expressions of their target genes. However, both FGFR-2 and LIF gene had elevated expressions in the RIF patients with PBMCs intrauterine infusion group compared to the RIF group, with significant decrease in miR-199a-5p and miR-125b-5p reciprocally. The treatment with PBMCs can be effective in changing the expression of microRNAs and genes associated with endometrial receptivity and by changes in the expression of them and their role during embryo development improve this process.

The Theory of Suprematism and the Event: The Search for the Possibility of Transformation
Authors: Malkova N. Yu.
Published: December 2022

This article proposes to revise the established research approach to Suprematism as a utopian futuristic project. The conceptual analysis of the texts created by K. Malevich (1879–1935) in the period from 1915 to 1922 and devoted to pointlessness has shown that the theory of Suprematism can be viewed as a kind of synthesis of ideas of the fourth dimension (Ch. H. Hinton) and the evolution of human consciousness (P. Ouspensky). It makes it possible to regard the principles of the theory of suprematism through the prism of the concept of the Event. Though the term itself was never used by K. Malevich, the idea of a new way of seeing and a flash of the reason that leads to the possibility of subjective transformation are in line with the meaning of the Event, as seen in philosophical and esoteric thought. The article puts forward the thesis according to which K. Malevich was exposed to these ideas in the atmosphere of spiritual quests of the 1910s and early 1920s. K. Malevich, M. Matyushin, and A. Kruchenykh took part in the production of the opera Victory over the Sun which served as a venue of creative interaction and an outlet for creative approaches and conceptual reinterpretation. Here one can clearly see the logical isomorphism of the artistic practice of the opera creators, based on a specific interpretation of time and the idea of the evolution of consciousness, and those ideas that underlay the esotericism of their time. Another indirect argument in favor of the thesis about the presumed parallelism of the theory of K. Malevich and the concept of the Event is the performative nature of the texts written by the author of the Black Square. According to K. Malevich, through overcoming meaning as the victory over reason and objectivity, the gap between the modus of postulating the possibility of transformation and the real experience of the sense of immortality. This also points to the similarity of his ideas and the esoteric project of irrational cognition and control over the mysterious. Thus, Suprematism can be interpreted as the Event of subjective transformation, and the theory of Suprematism can be viewed as a tool that allows one to experience a sense of immortality, accessible to both the creator and the viewer, who develop the creative will for the future.

Published: December 2022

Neste trabalho estudaram-se os limites e as possibilidades da efetivação do Programa Incluir e a incorporação de uma cultura que favoreça os alicerces de educação cidadã para todos. Adotou-se abordagem de natureza qualitativa como opção teórico-metodológica e, de forma particular, o estudo de caso, com ênfase na revisão de literatura e na análise documental. Os dados foram processados à luz da Análise de Conteúdo de Bardin, que objetiva a inferência de conhecimentos pertinentes às suas condições de produção e recepção. Constatou-se que a inclusão das pessoas com deficiência na educação superior brasileira, em especial no locus da pesquisa, acontece ainda, apesar de alguns avanços, de forma limitada e insuficiente diante da ideia mais ampla de formação realmente inclusiva e cidadã.
