Authors: Rossi Camila Elizandra , Da Silva Daiane Aparecida
Published: August 2017

O objetivo foi avaliar o cumprimento das recomendações nutricionais da Resolução nº 26/2013, na oferta e consumo da alimentação escolar, em duas escolas municipais de Realeza – PR. Analisaram-se 10 preparações por escola e o consumo de frutas/hortaliças de uma semana. A alimentação escolar ofertada aos 6-10 anos foi adequada para energia, carboidratos e lipídeos, excessiva para proteína e insuficiente para micronutrientes. O consumo foi adequado para energia e macronutrientes, mas insuficiente para micronutrientes. A oferta para alunos de 11-15 anos foi adequada para energia, macronutrientes e ferro, mas o consumo teve adequação somente para proteínas; os micronutrientes não apresentaram adequação. O consumo de frutas e hortaliças foi adequado. A oferta da alimentação escolar supriu as recomendações dos macronutrientes para ambas as faixas etárias, porém a oferta dos micronutrientes teve menor adequação. O consumo teve menor adequação que a oferta, indicando problemas com a aceitabilidade da alimentação, especialmente entre 11-15 anos.

O corpo feminino e as pin-ups: O gênero ilustrativo e sua primeira coluna no Brasil
Authors: Queiroz Campos Daniela
Published: August 2017

O presente artigo percorre o corpo feminino, em especial o corpo da pin-up. A imagem da femme fatale, do século XIX, alcança particular ambiência e cenário nas casas de tolerâncias parisienses da segunda metade daquele século. Do corpo do cabaré desenvolve-se a imagem da pin-up. Tal gênero, atrela o corpo erótico as artes gráficas de massa, tendo como fundamental característica a desculpabilização do erotismo.  As pin-ups afamam-se principalmente através das revistas estadunidenses e acabam por serem publicadas em diferentes países. No Brasil, o ilustrador mineiro Alceu Penna inaugura a primeira coluna de pin-ups – As Garotas do Alceu – que circularia por interruptos 26 anos nas páginas periódicas semanais da revista O Cruzeiro. A pesar do traço autoral, as bonecas de Penna estabelecem significativos diálogo com outras pin-ups.

Paisagem contemporânea da cidade opaca
Authors: Garcia Wilton , Silva Paulo Celso da
Published: August 2017

Este texto apresenta uma discussão a respeito da paisagem contemporânea, ao considerar aspectos técnicos, estéticos e éticos, que se conduzem a partir da cultura digital. Na expectativa de promover um ensaio, a problematização inscreve uma ideia metafórica de cidade opaca. O percurso metodológico constitui-se por uma discussão reflexiva sobre objetos e contextos – pensados no âmbito da comunicação e da cultura. E o embasamento teórico ocorre por estudos contemporâneos, a inscrever experiência e subjetividade como categorias discursivas. Como resultado, a discussão enuncia a tecnologia atual na compreensão de mercado-mídia e consumo, em uma perspectiva que transversaliza anotações estratégicas de mediação hipermidiática.

Differentiation of Glioblastoma Multiforme, Metastases and Primary Central Nervous System Lymphomas using Multiparametric Perfusion and Diffusion MR Imaging of a Tumor Core and a Peritumoral Zone – Searching for a Practical Approach. v1
Authors: Neska-Matuszewska Małgorzata , Bladowska Joanna , Sąsiadek Marek , Zimny Anna
Published: August 2017

Introduction In conventional MR examination glioblastomas multiforme (GBM), metastases and primary CNS lymphomas (PCNSLs) may show very similar appearance. The aim of the study was to evaluate usefulness of multiparametric DSC perfusion and diffusion MR imaging in the preoperative differentiation of these tumors. Material and Methods Fifty three solitary enhancing tumors (20 GBMs, 20 metastases, 13 PCNSLs) were enrolled in the study. Parameters of cerebral blood volume (rCBV), peak height (rPH), percentage of signal recovery (rPSR) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) were assessed from the tumor core and peritumoral non-enhancing T2-hyperintense zone. Results Within the tumor core there were no differences in perfusion and diffusion parameters between GBMs and metastases. Compared to GBMs and metastases, PCNSLs showed significantly lower rCBV and rPH, ADC as well as higher rPSR values. Max rCBV with a cut-off value of 2.18 showed the highest accurracy of 0.98 in differentating PCNSLs from other tumors. To distinguish GBMs from metastases analysis of the peritumoral zone was performed showing significantly higher rCBV, rPH and lower ADC values in GBMs with the highest accuracy of 0.94 found for max rCBV at a cut-off value of 0.98. Conclusions Max rCBV seems to be the most important parameter to differentiate GBMs, metastases and PSCNSLs. Analysis of max rCBV within a tumor core enables to distinguish hypoperfused (PCNSLs) from hyperperfused (GBMs and metastases) tumors while evaluation of max rCBV within the peritumoral zone is helpful to distinguish GBMs showing peritumoral infiltration from metastases surrounded by pure edema.
“Lines of Mourning”: On the Issue of National and Cultural Self-Determination of L.S. Vygotsky
Authors: Sobkin V.S. , Klimova T.A.
Published: August 2017

The paper presents the full text of a work by L.S. Vygotsky “Lines of Mourning” (1916) along with detailed commentaries. This article was the first of the three published in the Jewish periodical Noviy Put’ that can be considered a triptych dedicated to the issues of national, cultural and religious traditions and their relation with modern times. The text and commentaries provide an insight into personal meanings and attitudes of young Vygotsky in the situation of political and value/normative uncertainty. This enables us to reconstruct the features of social, political, national and ethic self-definition of the scientist and to reveal the grounds and values underlying the cultural-historical approach. Special attention is brought to the dialogic nature of the Jewish and Russian culture. In the commentaries we also focus on the specifics of artistic and reflective position of Vygotsky in relation to pre-revolutionary events that took place at that time: understanding this allows us to comprehend a whole set of social, political, moral, ethic and truly psychological problems that would later on be reflected in his scientific works. Another section of our commentaries is centered on the analysis of the article’s style and composition and its multi-layered structure.
Learning Try-Out as Project and Reality in Learning Activity of Adolescents
Authors: Chudinova E.V.
Published: August 2017

The problem of a child’s appropriation of new means of action is one of the most essential in psychology of education. Raised initially by L.S. Vygotsky, it is still far from being solved. Numerous studies on the formation of scientific concepts have been carried out within the framework of D.B. Elkonin and V.V. Davydov’s theory of learning activity. Currently, the most mysterious is the point of transition from “someone else’s” model/means/concept to “one’s own”, i.e. the transformation of the means based on collectively distributed activity of a class into an individual resource of action. The paper suggests a hypothesis on the specifics of learning activity in adolescents which involves not only solving learning tasks, but also conducting so-called learning try-outs. The paper introduces the concept of learning try-out and analyses the organizational and pedagogical conditions surrounding its design and the psychological features of its implementation, finally describing the symptoms of its accomplishment. Examples of learning try-outs in teaching/learning of 6th—7th-year students are provided as well.
Evaluating Optimism: Developing Children’s Version of Optimistic Attributional Style Questionnaire
Authors: Gordeeva T.O. , Sychev O.A. , Osin E.N.
Published: August 2017

People differ significantly in how they usually explain to themselves the reasons of events, both positive and negative, that happen in their lives. Psychological research shows that children who tend to think optimistically have certain advantages as compared to their pessimistically thinking peers: they are less likely to suffer from depression, establish more positive relationships with peers, and demonstrate higher academic achievements. This paper describes the process of creating the children’s version of the Optimistic Attributional Style Questionnaire (OASQ-C). This technique is based on the theory of learned hopelessness and optimism developed by M. Seligman, L. Abramson and J. Teas dale and is an efficient (compact) tool for measuring optimism as an explanatory style in children and adolescents (9-14 years). Confirmatory factor analysis revealed that this technique is a two-factor structure with acceptable reliability. Validity is supported by the presence of expected correlations between explanatory style and rates of psychological well-being, dispositional optimism, positive attitude to life and its aspects, depression, and academic performance. The outcomes of this technique are not affected by social desirability. The developed questionnaire may be recommended to researchers and school counsellors for evaluating optimism (optimistic thinking) as one of the major factors in psychological well-being of children; it may also be used in assessing the effectiveness of cognitive oriented training for adolescents.
História & teatro, teatro & história
Authors: Paranhos Kátia Rodrigues
Published: August 2017

Para o crítico inglês Eric Bentley, o teatro político se refere tanto ao texto teatral como a quando, onde e como ele é representado. Por vezes condenada como escapista, outras vezes incensada como ferramenta de libertação revolucionária, a arte, de modo geral, continua sendo um tema candente tanto na academia como fora dela. Não é à toa que Sérgio de Carvalho, diretor da Companhia do Latão, criada em 1997, e professor do curso de Artes Cênicas da Universidade de São Paulo, levanta uma questão fundamental: “Qual a função da arte dentro do aparelho cultural capitalista?”. Este artigo aborda o tema do engajamento, de modo geral, levando em consideração a relação entre história e teatro, teatro e história, assim como os discursos produzidos sobre os seus processos coletivos de criação e de pesquisa teórica.
barítono nos trópicos
Authors: Vannucci Alessandra
Published: August 2017

A partir de 1850, após a inauguração de linhas de navegação a vapor com destino aos principais portos latino-americanos, a viagem transatlântica virou produto de consumo. Os gigantescos navios embarcavam todas as classes sociais e todas as profissões – mas aos emigrantes de nacionalidade italiana, na América Latina, era atribuído um especial talento canoro. Na corte carioca, a concorrência no mercado do teatro lírico era tamanha que alimentava torcidas adversárias, a favor ou contra um ou outro intérprete; assim como sustentava uma intensa exploração dos artistas por parte de agentes com dúbia moral. O presente ensaio aborda esse mundo pelo olhar de Giuseppe Banfi, um carpinteiro que desembarcou no Rio de Janeiro em 1857, em plena febre lírica, sendo logo contratado como corista do Teatro Lírico Fluminense e como solista em igrejas. Depois de ter seus pertences roubados, ele empreende uma fabulosa jornada pelo interior do Brasil, atravessando os estados de Minas Gerais e São Paulo, subindo montanhas, traspondo rios e vagando na selva até chegar a Curitiba, após três meses de viagem. Já de volta à Itália, ele narrou as suas aventuras em um diário. Entre relato de viagem e romance de formação, seu registro pode ser lido como libelo de tolerância em que é encenado o encontro entre índios gentis e bárbaros europeus, perdidos nas mais extremas regiões do continente americano. A música, por ser linguagem que potencializa a alteridade, é tática essencial desse surpreendente diálogo intercultural.
Artur Azevedo e a revista de ano
Authors: Faria João Roberto
Published: August 2017

O objetivo deste estudo sobre O homem, de Artur Azevedo, é realizar uma análise da forma teatral que os brasileiros chamaram de “revista de ano” (na França, revue de fin d’année), atentando para a estrutura desse gênero de peça, seu modo de funcionamento, suas convenções, sua estreita ligação com a vida urbana do Rio de Janeiro do século XIX e seus recursos de comicidade. Além disso, busca-se refletir sobre a paródia que a peça, encenada em 1888, faz do romance O homem, de Aluísio Azevedo, irmão de Artur, publicado em 1887.
Apontamentos e reflexões sobre as relações entre teatro no Brasil e diversidade sexual
Authors: Rocha Junior Alberto Ferreira da
Published: August 2017

Este artigo trata das complexas relações entre diversidade sexual e teatro no Brasil. Alguns textos e espetáculos são tomados como exemplos metonímicos das dificuldades de se pensar criticamente sobre as referidas questões: O patinho torto, de Coelho Neto, espetáculos do grupo Dzi Croquettes e de modo mais conciso são discutidas algumas peças de Nelson Rodrigues, Plínio Marcos, Jô Bilac e Silvero Pereira. A complexidade da discussão reside sobretudo na dificuldade de evitar a tentativa de classificação de textos dentro da esfera LGBTQ, a confusão entre gênero e orientação sexual, a padronização das personagens e da estética queer.
Jeitos do deambular, sentidos do contemplar
Authors: Magalhães Carlos Augusto
Published: August 2017

A janela e a rua constituem-se como imagens que, nos primórdios da modernidade, tornaram-se matrizes recorrentes nas artes e na literatura, e cujas representações tematizam a pujança da cidade moderna (GOMES, 2002). Na literatura brasileira, as duas imagens comparecem, respectivamente, nas narrativas “O telegrama de Ataxerxes” e “Viagem aos seios de Duília”, de Aníbal Machado. No primeiro conto, o fantasioso Ataxerxes apresenta-se como certo tipo de flâneur, entusiasta e deslumbrado ante o espetáculo e a vitalidade das ruas do Rio de Janeiro, em cuja pulsação e energia ele, ardentemente, deseja se imiscuir. No segundo conto, José Maria observa a capital federal a partir da janela da própria casa, em Santa Teresa. A aposentadoria é a oportunidade de o melancólico funcionário público fazer um balanço de vida e constatar o vazio da própria trajetória. A janela de onde José Maria vê a cidade lá embaixo seria uma metáfora da experiência melancólica identificada com a postura de contemplação da vida, em lugar da efetiva inserção nela. Há um elo com o passado e com uma cidadezinha de Minas Gerais, tempo-espaço de uma experiência fetichista envolvendo os seios de Duília. O retorno ao lugarejo em busca do passado e de Duília se apresenta como um grande equívoco. A dificuldade em lidar com o tempo se reflete também no descompasso entre a experiência do tempo biológico e a do tempo existencial.

Published: August 2017

Background:Alopecia areata (AA) is one of the common causes of localized hair loss among the patients attending the outpatient department. The objective of this study was to know the clinical and epidemiological profile of AA and to compare the efficacy of different topical treatment modalities in AA.

Methods:100 patients of any age group and of both sexes presenting with AA to the dermatology outpatient department were included in this study. It was conducted as a randomized prospective study for a period of 12 weeks after taking an informed consent from the patient. After studying the clinical profile, patients were randomly distributed, excluding the age and sex bias into four treatment groups. Alopecia grading scale (AGS) was calculated at first visit and 12 weeks. Regrowth score (RGS) was calculated at 12 weeks. Treatment outcome in different groups were compared using mean AGS at 12 weeks and RGS.

Results:Group A patients showed statistically significant clinical improvement when compared to all the other groups. Poorest response was seen in Group D. Intermediate response was seen in Group B and C patients.

Conclusions:The study concluded that topical 0.05% betamethasone dipropionate is the most effective treatment modality in patients with patchy AA (having <25% hair loss).

Published: August 2017

Discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) is the most common chronic form of cutaneous lupus. It is characterised by persistent scaly, disk-like plaques on scalp, face and ears that may cause pigmentary changes, scarring and hair loss. Squamous cell carcinoma can rarely arise within a longstanding DLE plaque in the skin. It presents as an enlarging warty growth or ulcer. We report a case of squamous cell carcinoma which developed on lesion of discoid lupus erythematosus within a short period of time.

Museu de Escultura ao Ar Livre: espaço de memórias e sensibilidades urbanas em Goiânia
Authors: Arantes Rafael Caique Da Silva Santos
Published: August 2017

o presente artigo pretende abordar algumas reflexões sobre a relação entre as representações escultóricas, o imaginário e as sensibilidades urbanas da paisagem da Praça Universitária em Goiânia, a partir de análises dos objetos escultóricos instalados no projeto Museu de Escultura ao Ar Livre e de alguns depoimentos dos frequentadores do local. No âmbito desta pesquisa, foi possível identificarmos que as representações escultóricas do interior da Praça possuem formatos figurativos e abstratos: deuses mitológicos, animais, objetos geométricos, feições futurísticas, e formas femininas. Estas representações expressam conteúdos de caráter artístico e lúdico, não estando associadas diretamente á uma memória política. Com a implantação do projeto Museu de Escultura ao Ar Livre no ano de 2000, observa-se que a paisagem que constitui a Praça Universitária é revalorizada, atribuindo-se ao espaço novas formas de uso e experiências sensoriais e cognitivas dos sujeitos que frequentam o local.

Published: August 2017

este artigo tem por objetivo analisar as condições da Associação de Pescadores do Serrote do Urubu no município de Petrolina - PE, verificando quais os principais desafios e obstáculos enfrentados quando da sua implantação até os dias atuais, levando a uma reflexão acerca dos caminhos a serem trilhados para alcançar uma gestão sustentável. Para elaboração do presente trabalho foram aplicados questionários estruturados junto aos associados, com intuito de identificar o perfil do público alvo e do empreendimento em estudo. A pesquisa foi realizada entre os meses de agosto e outubro de 2015, foram entrevistados 50 pescadores dentre 100 associados, que apresentaram idade média de 40 anos, dos quais apenas 20,0% vivem exclusivamente piscicultura em tanques-rede, e possui renda média de 2,5 salários mínimos. 60,0% tem apenas o 1º grau completo. Concluiu-se que a realidade da associação é recorrente a maioria dos empreendimentos de Economia Solidária, problemas inerentes à própria atividade (piscicultura): dificuldade de acesso às linhas crédito tradicionais para aquisição de máquinas equipamentos, ausência de assistência técnica institucional, dificuldade de inserção dos produtos oriundos da atividade em outros mercados ou em redes de solidariedade, falta de apoio de órgãos governamentais e de instituições de pesquisa para elaboração e agregação de valor ao produto oriundo da piscicultura.
Achieving Cultural Integration in Health Services: Design of Comprehensive Hospital Model for Traditional Healing, Medicines, Foods and Supports
Authors: Walker Roger , Cromarty Helen , Linkewich Barbara , Semple Douglas , St. Pierre-Hansen Natalie
Published: August 2017

Genuine cross-cultural competency in health requires the effective integration of traditional and contemporary knowledge and practices. This paper outlines an analytical framework that assists patients/clients, providers, administrators, and policy-makers with an enhanced ability to make appropriate choices, and to find pathways to true healing while ensuring that the required care is competently, safely and successfully provided. Examples presented are primarily based on experience of the Sioux Lookout Meno Ya Win Health Centre (SLMHC), which serves a diverse, primarily Anishinabe population living in 32 Northern Ontario communities spread over 385,000 sq. km. SLMHC has a specific mandate, among Ontario hospitals, to provide a broad set of services that address the health and cultural needs of a largely Aboriginal population. We will outline our journey to date towards the design and early stages of implementation of our comprehensive minoyawin1 model of care. This includes an evaluation of the initial outcomes. This model focuses on cross-cultural integration in five key aspects of all of our services:Odabidamageg (governance and leadership).Wiichi’iwewin (patient and client supports).Andaw’iwewin (traditional healing practices).Mashkiki (traditional medicines).Miichim (traditional foods).The paper outlines a continuum of program development and implementation that has allowed core elements of our programming to be effectively integrated into the fabric of all that we do. Outcomes to date are identified, and potentially transferable practices are identified.
Making Gains in First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Health
Authors: Brascoupé Simon
Published: August 2017

Over time, First Nations, Inuit, and Métis people have made gains in health but continue tobear a disproportionate burden of death and disease. The infant mortality rate for Status FirstNations and Inuit has dropped over the last decades, but is nevertheless about twice the rateof the general population in Canada (rates for non-Status First Nations and Métis are not available)(Smylie & Adomako, 2009). Life expectancy has also increased, but First Nations, Métis, and residentsof Inuit Nunangat still live about three to eleven years less than the rest of Canada (Tjepkema, Wilkins,Senécal, Guimond, & Penney, 2009; Oliver, Peters, & Cohen, 2012). There are also substantial disparitieswhen it comes to rates of diabetes, tuberculosis, and suicide.

This qualitative study identifies key factors that contribute to negative psychosocial outcomes for Inuit patients using the Iqaluit, Nunavut, medevac (used for emergency transfers) and medical transfer (for non-emergency cases) programs. The study also reports on the existence and appropriateness of social and cultural supports in hospitals and communities for medically transferred patients and their families. I analyzed results from a literature review, document analysis, and 20 in-depth, semi-structured interviews with health care professionals and policy and decision makers in Iqaluit and Ottawa, Ontario. Respondents were either directly involved in medevac and medical transfer programs or were health professionals who work with those using the services. In addition, variables impacting patient speed of recovery and overall mental health were considered, including isolation, social support, and emotional stress. Findings revealed that Inuit patients do experience a lack of social supports such as escorts and translators on medical trips south. They also often encounter a lack of cultural sensitivity once in the south, and suffer from homesickness and isolation. This study demonstrates that the current medical transfer system in Nunavut does not fully meet the psychosocial needs of Inuit patients and their families, which has direct effects on patients’ mental health and on medical outcomes of treatment in the south.ᐅᓇ  ᖃᐅᔨᓴᕐᓂᐅᓯᒪᔪᖅ  ᐃᓕᓴᖅᓯᕗᖅ  ᐱᓗᖅᑯᑕᐅᔪᓂᒃ  ᑐᓂᕐᕈᑎᖃᖅᑐᓂᒃ  ᐃᓅᓯᕐᒧᑦ  ᐃᓱᒪᒃᑯᓪᓗ  ᐃᓄᓐᓄᑦ  ᐋᓐᓂᐊᕕᓕᐊᖅᐸᑦᑐᓄᑦ  ᐊᑲᐃᓪᓕᐅᕈᑎᓂᒃ  ᐊᖅᑯᑎᒋᓪᓗᒋᑦ  ᐃᖃᓗᐃᑦ,  ᓄᓇᕗᑦ  ᑐᐊᕕᕐᓇᑐᒃᑯ  ᐊᒻᒪᓗ ᐃᖏᕐᕋᓂᒃᑯᑦ  (ᑐᐊᕕᕐᓇᖏᑦᑐᑯᓪᓗ  ᐊᖅᑯᑕᐅᕙᑦᑐᒃᑯᑦ).  ᖃᐅᔨᓴᐅᑎ  ᐅᓂᒃᑲᐅᓯᖃᕆᕗᖅ  ᐅᓪᓗᒥ  ᐋᓐᓂᐊᕕᓐᓂ  ᓄᓇᓕᓐᓂᓗ  ᐊᑐᐃᓐᓇᐅᒪᔪᓂᒃ  ᐊᒻᒪᓗ  ᐊᑲᕐᕆᔾᔪᑕᐅᔪᓂᒃ  ᐃᓅᖃᑎᒌᓐᓂᒃᑯᑦ  ᐊᒻᒪᓗ  ᐃᓕᖅᑯᓯᒃᑯᑦ  ᐋᓐᓂᐊᕕᓕᐊᖅᓯᒪᔪᓄᑦ  ᐃᓚᖏᓐᓄᓪᓗ  ᐃᑲᔪᖅᑐᐃᔾᔪᑕᐅᔪᓂᒃ.  ᕿᒥᕐᕈᓚᐅᕆᕗᖓ  ᖃᐅᔨᓴᐅᑎᒥᓂᕐᓂᒃ  ᐅᖃᓕᒫᒐᓕᐊᖑᓯᒪᔪᓂᒃ,  ᐅᓂᒃᑳᓪᓗ  ᕿᒥᕐᕈᔭᐅᓯᒪᔪᑦ  ᐊᕙᑎᑦ  ᓈᔭᖅᑕᐅᓯᒪᑦᑎᐊᖅᑐᑎᒃ,  ᐊᐱᖅᑯᑎᓪᓗ  ᐃᓚᖓᒍᑦ  ᑎᑎᕋᖅᑕᐅᓯᒪᓪᓗᑎᒃ  ᐋᓐᓂᐊᖅᑐᓕᕆᔨᒃᑯᑦ  ᐃᖅᑲᓇᐃᔭᖅᑎᖏᓐᓄᑦ  ᐊᒻᒪᓗ  ᐊᑐᐊᒐᓕᐅᖅᑎᓄᑦ  ᐃᓱᒪᓕᐅᖅᑎᓄᓪᓗ  ᐃᖃᓗᓐᓂ  ᐋᑐᕚᒥᓗ,  ᐋᓐᑎᐅᕆᐅᒥ.  ᐊᐱᖅᓱᖅᑕᐅᓯᒪᔪᑦ  ᑐᐊᕕᕐᓇᖅᑐᒃᑰᕐᓂᑰᔪᑦ  ᐊᐅᓪᓚᖅᑐᓕᕆᔨᒃᑯᓐᓂ  ᐅᕝᕙᓗᑭᐊᖅ  ᐋᓐᓂᐊᖅᑐᓕᕆᓂᕐᒥ  ᐃᖅᑲᓇᐃᔮᖃᐅᖅᑐᑎᒃ.  ᑕᐃᒪᓗ,  ᐋᓐᓂᐊᕕᓕᐊᖅᓯᒪᔪᓄᑦ  ᐱᔾᔪᑕᐅᔪᑦ  ᐃᑉᐱᓐᓂᕈᑕᐅᓯᒪᔪᑦ  ᐊᑲᐅᓯᕙᓪᓕᐊᓂᖏᓐᓂᒃ  ᐊᒻᒪᓗ  ᐃᓱᒪᔾᔪᓯᖏᓐᓂᒃ,  ᐃᓚᓕᐅᑦᑐᒋᑦ  ᐅᖓᓯᑦᑐᒥᐅᑕᐅᓂᖏᑦ,  ᐃᓄᓕᕆᓂᒃᑯᑦ  ᐃᑲᔫᑕᐅᔪᑦ  ᐊᒻᒪᓗ  ᐃᓱᒫᓗᓐᓇᖅᑐᑎᒍᑦ.  ᖃᐅᔨᔾᔪᑕᐅᔪᑦ  ᑐᑭᓯᓇᖅᓯᓚᐅᖅᑯᑦ  ᐃᓄᐃᑦ  ᐋᓐᓂᐊᕕᓕᐊᖅᐸᑦᑐᑦ  ᐃᓄᓕᕆᓂᒃᑯᑦ  ᐃᑲᔪᖅᓱᖅᑕᐅᓂᑭᑉᐸᓐᓂᖏᓐᓂᒃ ᓲᕐᓗ ᐃᑲᔪᖅᑎᒡᒋᐊᖃᕋᑎᒃ  ᐊᒻᒪᓗ  ᑐᓵᔨᑭᔅᓴᐸᑦᑐᑎᒃ  ᖃᓪᓗᓈᓕᐊᕋᐃᒐᒥᒃ. ᐊᒥᒐᖅᓯᔾᔪᑕᐅᕙᑦᑐᑦ  ᑐᑭᓯᔾᔪᑕᐅᔪᒋᕗᖅ  ᐃᓄᐃᑦ  ᐱᖅᑯᓯᖏᓐᓂᒃ  ᖃᐅᔨᒪᓂᑭᓐᓂᖏᓐᓄᑦ  ᐋᓐᓂᐊᖅᑐᓕᕆᔨᒃᑯᑦ,  ᐊᖏᕐᕋᓯᖅᐸᑦᑐᓪᓗ  ᐊᒻᒪᓗ  ᐃᓄᑑᓕᐅᑎᕙᓐᓂᖏᓐᓂᒃ.  ᐅᓇ  ᖃᐅᔨᓴᐅᑎ  ᑕᑯᖅᑯᔾᔨᓚᐅᖅᑯᖅ  ᒫᓐᓇᒃᑯᑦ  ᐋᓐᓂᐊᕕᓕᐊᕐᓂᕆᕙᑦᑕᖏᑦ  ᓄᓇᕗᒻᒥᐅᑕᐃᑦ  ᐃᓚᖏᑕᓗ  ᐊᑲᕐᕆᔮᓐᖏᒋᐊᖏᑕ  ᐋᓐᓂᐊᕕᓕᐊᖅᐸᑦᑐᑦ  ᐃᓱᒪᖏᑎᒍᑦ  ᐃᓄᓕᕆᓂᒃᑯᑎᒍᓪᓗ.  ᑕᒪᒃᑯᐊ  ᐋᓐᓂᐊᕕᓕᐊᖅᐸᑦᑐᑦ  ᐃᓱᒪᔾᔪᓯᖏᑦ  ᐊᒻᒪᓗ  ᐋᓐᓂᐊᖏᑕ  ᖃᓄᐃᓐᓂᖏᓐᓂᒃ  ᐊᑦᑐᐃᕙᑦᑐᑦ  ᖃᓪᓗᓈᓃᑎᓪᓗᒋᒃ.
Lingering Discourses: Jean Jacque Rousseau’s 18th-Century Images of Mothers, Fathers, and Children
Authors: MacDonald Margaret , Rudkowski Magdalena , Hostettler Schärer Janine
Published: August 2017

Using a critical discourse approach (Fairclough, 2003; Foucault, 1972; Luke, 1997, 2002; Rabinow, 1984; van Dijk, 1993; van Leeuwen, 2008) this paper examines the text and embeddedmeaning conveyed in Jean Jacque Rousseau’s novella Émile. This treatise written in the 18th century includes Rousseau’s conceptualization of best practices and a set of educationalguidelines detailing habits to avoid and the necessary combination of“natural” and “progressive” approaches recommended to raise children as moral citizens. In our analysis we discuss the ways Rousseau uses binary descriptions of girls-boys, mothers-fathers, and learners-tutors separately and in opposition. We go on to situate his novella as an early example of expert advice on parenting, where Rousseau positions himself as an educational expert by simultaneously defining the maternal role in early education andthe role of education in society. We contend that Rousseau’s works are founded on particular beliefs about the source of knowledge and construction of meaning that continues to constrain the formation of authentic partnerships among and between parents and early childhood educators. We argue that this discourse—and, importantly, the values, beliefs, and attitudes it conveys—lingers in Canadian early childhood education learning communities and that the vestiges of these early ideas truncate and unnaturally shape our ideas of parenting, teaching, and learning by socially positioning families and teachers in ways that make it difficult to engage in co-constructionof curriculum. We suggest that by better understanding and deconstructing this discourse we can move our thinking forward and authentically engage in coinquiry.
Home Literacy Environment and English Language Learners’ Literacy Development: What Can We Learn from the Literature?
Authors: Shi Zihan
Published: August 2017

Intended for educators and researchers in the field of early childhoodeducation working with children from immigrant families, this articlefirst briefly addresses the relationship between home literacy environment and English language learners’ literacy development in both their heritage language and English. Second, through surveying the literature, I identify three different areas in which a home literacy environment influences English language learners’ literacy development: (a) through language attitudes and parental beliefs; (b) through identity formation; and (c) through literacy behaviour of immigrant parents. Some helpful strategies learned from the literature are provided for educators to use with newcomer families in support of children’s literacy development.
The Use of Play and Inquiry in a Kindergarten Drama Centre: A Teacher’s Critical Reflection
Authors: Hope-Southcott Laura
Published: August 2017

The kindergarten drama centre is a place where children recreate familiar play scenarios, explore new ideas and feelings, and engage deeply in learning (Schwartz & Copeland, 2010). Miller and Almon (2009) suggest that play is crucial to children’s development. However, play is often contested as parents question its relevance atschool (Ashiabi, 2007) and schools focus on academic achievementand readiness (Bodrova & Leong, 2003; Miller & Almon, 2009). Thispaper explores the author’s learning through reflecting on the successes and challenges of a bakery centre createdin her kindergarten classroom. The bakery became an excellent vehicle for strengthening students’ literacy and motor skills through play, but the impact varied greatly across students in the class. Further, assessment and planning enhancements to the bakery were significantly restricted by constraints on the time and attention the author could devote to them due to the dynamic classroom environment. The bakery also led to a rethinking of the learning agenda in the classroom.

Learning How to Inherit in Colonized and Ecologically Challenged LifeWorlds in Early Childhood Education: An Introduction

The complex and intensifying ecological challenges of the 21st century call for new ways of thinking, being, and doing in all sectors of our society, including early childhood education, and the Aboriginal environmental humanities offer alternative ways of being present and acting in the world. Accordingly, in September 2014 we gathered for three days in Victoria, British Columbia, with leading Indigenous and environmental humanities scholars and a group of 40 early childhood scholars, educators, and students to mobilize these perspectives in the early education of young children. This special issue presents eight articles inspired by the conversations that took place at the “Learning How to Inherit in Colonized and Ecologically Challenged Life Worlds” symposium.1
Possibilities for Geontological Learning in Common Worlds
Authors: Ashton Emily
Published: August 2017

In this article I examine the productive relations between Elizabeth Povinelli’s notion of learning-­‐how and the pedagogical provocations proposed by the Common World Childhoods Research Collective. First, I encourage a move from thinking about the child as subject-­‐object-­‐other of early childhood education to thinking about relational becomings in common worlds. Second, I draw on Povinelli’s work to propose a form of geontological learning that shifts from learning-­‐about to learning-­‐with a range of existents. Geontological learning attends to the thick enmeshment of nonhuman geographies, more-­‐than-­‐human existents, and human lives in the quirky, messy, complex common worlds we co-­‐inhabit.
Entangled Frictions With Place As Assemblage
Authors: Yazbeck Sherri-Lynn , Danis Ildikó
Published: August 2017

The focus of this paper is to tell stories and grapple with questions about place. We share documentation gathered during explorations in an art studio we created in an urban forest located next to our childcare centre. We work with multiple forms of knowledge about place in order to develop complex (and situated) forest pedagogies. Our stories engage with clay and the use of maps, and lend themselves to thinking of place as assemblage with more-­‐than-­‐human others. We conclude the paper with an examination of how our newly forming forest pedagogies creep into other stories—unfolding, changing, and creating frictions in our practice, explorations, and inquiries—just as English ivy does in our forest studio.
Engaging With the Messiness of Place in Early Childhood Education and Art Therapy: Exploring Animal Relations, Traditional Hide, and Drum
Authors: Nelson Narda , Coon Emily , Chadwick Anna
Published: August 2017

How place is conceptualized impacts the way everyday moments and relationships unfold. This paper explores possibilities for shifting our practices by engaging with an ethic of doing. Drawing on ecofeminist, nomadic, and Indigenous perspectives, we aim to open up space for more accountable, political practices that acknowledge the diverse realities of the children and youth we work with. We present vignettes from our practices to illustrate possibilities for (re)conceptualizing the deeply embedded, normative colonial assumptions in the places we work, and introduce political, contextual, and messy ways of doing in place.
Walking With Place: Storying Reconciliation Pedagogies in Early Childhood Education
Authors: Hamm Catherine
Published: August 2017

Knowing and understanding the land with Aboriginal cosmologies requires seeing much deeper than the surface. It involves feeling those deep connections that have existed for thousands of years and understanding trees, rocks, and rivers. Drawing on Vanessa Watt’s concept of place-­‐thought and Latour’s emerging common world framework, I explore the notion of country in a specific place in the Australian context. This paper pays attention to the stories of Australia’s colonial pasts, presents, and futures as I set out to generate new reconciliation pedagogies and engage with place during an experiential learning exercise: place-­‐thought-­‐walk. I argue that place-­‐thought pedagogies that are inclusive, respectful, and reconciled to people of the local Aboriginal group can be put to work as a decolonizing practice. This practice exposes the layers of colonial inscription in the landscape, creating space for the land to be reclaimed and reinscribed with Aboriginal knowledges as the central frame.
Entangled Dialogues on Learning How to Inherit in Colonized and Damaged Lifeworlds
Authors: Nxumalo Fikile , Oh Sera , Hughes Jacky , Bhanji Saaiqa
Published: August 2017

In this article we engage in a dialogue about some of the ideas that resonated with us in connection with the “Learning How to Inherit in Colonized and Ecologically Challenged Lifeworlds” symposium that took place at the University of Victoria in September 2014. Our aim is to begin to consider together the possibilities and challenges these ideas might bring to our everyday practices with young children. Using examples from our everyday pedagogical encounters, we shape our discussion through the pedagogical implications of inheriting colonial legacies and responding to children’s relations with threatened and not-­‐easy-­‐to-­‐live-­‐with animals.
Ethical Issues Facing Researchers Working with Children in International Contexts
Authors: Asselin Marlene , Doiron Ray
Published: August 2017

As international research collaborations increase, the ethics of doing research involving children and their families has emerged as a significant and challenging aspect of the process. Potential issues include procedures around gaining consent, assumptions about children and their families, and the use of qualitative and participatory-based research methods. This paper poses some of the difficulties faced by scholars working in international contexts, describes what these issues look like within four current approaches to research with children, and offers recommendations for researching in diverse contexts.
A Touch of Paint: Transgressing Unspoken Boundaries
Authors: Atkinson Kim
Published: August 2017

Contemporary early childhood contexts are rife with unspoken rules, boundaries, and expectations that are understood to be best practice within discourses of quality in early years settings. These habitual practices are not apolitical: They flow from powerful discourses purporting to be scientific and reliable, with systematically defined ways of thinking, seeing, and speaking about children. Drawing on a body/paint/brush/forest encounter, the author looks to disrupt these discourses and transgress unspoken boundaries. By engaging with an ethic of resistance, acknowledging the relationality of early childhood practice and the entanglements of human and nonhuman forces, the author seeks to transgress fixed identities and be open to otherness in an ongoing process of becoming.
Rethinking Common Practice in Child and Youth Care
Authors: Do Nascimento Ashley
Published: August 2017

This paper deconstructs the dominant Western discourses of childhood innocence and dependence to better understand the importance of cultural contexts in child and youth care (CYC) work. It challenges dominant discourses as they relate to work in CYC settings cross-culturally. Exploring her personal experiences doing CYC work in a favela (slum) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the author argues that CYC workers must be  exible and re exive about the realities of the people with whom they work, or risk reifying the very issues they seek to address. In short, CYC workers can become part of the problem if they are not deeply aware of the ways they might reproduce these dominant discourses. 
LEADing the way in Early Childhood Education and Care Through a Mentor/Protégé Program
Authors: Bonnett Tina , Ly Krista
Published: August 2017

Mentoring is an approach utilized by many professions because it has been deemed to be advantageous, most notably for entry-level practitioners, those in search of career advancement, and students engaged in service learning. Research exploring elements that inform meaningful mentor/ protégé relationships in the Canadian childcare sector is, however, lacking. This qualitative research study seeks to unearth attributes that influence a formal mentor/protégé experience. Fourteen professionals participated in a one-year program in Ontario. Applied thematic analysis was employed to explore journals, focus group discussion transcripts, and researcher field notes. Predominant themes uncovered include structures that support the pairing, reciprocity, outcomes, goals and motivators, and recommendations for delivery of future mentor/protégé programs. 
Toward Reconciliation: What do the Calls to Action Mean for Early Childhood Education?
Authors: Taylor Briony
Published: August 2017

This article focuses on how the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) of Canada’s Calls to Action pertain to early childhood education. The author, who is a student and soon to be educator, traces her understanding of reconciliation within early childhood spaces by considering the TRC call to develop culturally appropriate Aboriginal early childhood education programs. Incorporating her recent learning, she explores curriculum, language, parents, community, and treaty relationships. She questions her own previously held assumptions around dominant discourses of success and reflects on new understandings of reconciliation gained in her program of study.
