Reuse of ancient megalithics monuments during Metal Ages: the dolmen of Serrinha (Monforte, Portugal).

The set of funerary megalithic monuments in the Alentejo region (Portugal) presents a great variety in its architectures, but also in their uses and reuses. Although often undocumented (in the case of ancient excavations), the collections in the Museums prove their use between the Neolithic Age and at least the Iron Age. The Dolmen of Serrinha (Monforte) recently excavated by the signatories, is a good example of the reuse of necropolis spaces during Metal Ages

Open educational practices in public higher education in Portugal

Investigação no âmbito do Dootoramento em Educação, especialidade de Educação a Distância e eLearningThe main objective of this PhD research is to identify and understand the education and research practices of teachers/researchers of public Higher Education Institutions (HEI) in Portugal, as well as the influence of recommendations, initiatives and public support in the development of open educational practices. To contextualize the problem, the study involves three levels of analysis: i) macro level, in terms of guidelines on open education and open access, both at European and national levels, as well as the strategies aligned with these guidelines; ii) mezzo level, regarding public HEI in Portugal, characterizing their openness degree and support of open practices development; iii) micro level, focusing on the practices of teachers/researchers in their academic context, when playing the dual role in research and education.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

A contribution to the study of the process of content curation as an emergent skill for personal knowledge management

Investigação realizada no mestrado em Pedagogia do eLearningCurating is a demanding task which involves a coordinated set of multidisciplinary skills along with the use of proper curation Web tools, the most important attribute of a curator is subject matter expertise, something already acquired by academics (Good, 2010). Curation may also endow a practitioner with the necessary experience and familiarity with a specific topic. In this study we utilized Kanter’s tripartite framework for content curation: “seek, sense, share” (2011b) an adapted model of personal knowledge management by Jarche (2010). “Seeking” is the process of keeping up to date in one’s field; “sensing” is making sense of information by placing it into context; “sharing” is the process of exchanging resources, ideas and experiences with networks and collaborating with colleagues.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Estratégias de sobrevivência Shonghay-Zarma (Níger): Trajectórias económicas de uma outra modernidade

Este ensaio procura resgatar a importância das estratégias de sobrevivência das sociedades rurais Songhay-Zarma na actual configuração da economia nigerina. Desde a era pré colonial que os elementos destas sociedades procuram constantemente, dentro dos condicionalismos em que vão estando inseridos, reformular as suas práticas económicas, à luz de racionalidades que tendem a perpetuar-se ao longo dos tempos, e que passam pela diversificação dos recursos disponíveis. Seguindo essa linha de raciocínio, pretende-se então demonstrar que estas estratégias de sobrevivência, alicerçadas sobre a posse da terra, são actualmente responsáveis por um leque de comportamentos económicos ‘inusitados’, os quais, por sua vez, concorrem para a crescente informalização da economia, e consequentemente, colaboram na construção de um singular modelo de modernidade na República do Níger

Cinéma amérindien brésilien et utilisation du cyberspace. Pour qui?

Taking as a starting point the indigenous filmmaking experiences in Brazil, established during the last twenty years, is it possible to outline the dissemination of filmic images from the contemporary Native American perspective. How do these authors in Brazil manage to circulate their productions? To what extent do they appropriate the vehicles/means available on Internet for this purpose? Which are the constraints? Is it possible to talk about an indigenous leadership in this area?Prenant comme point de départ des expériences filmiques produites depuis une vingtaine d’années par les Amérindiens au Brésil il est possible de suivre les circuits de diffusion de ces images dans une perspective amérindienne contemporaine. Comment ces auteurs font-ils circuler leurs productions ? Dans quelle mesure s'approprient-ils les ressources disponibles sur Internet? Quelles sont les contraintes subies? Peut-on parler d’un protagonisme/activisme amérindien dans ce domaine? Tomando como punto de partida experiencias cinematográficas de los pueblos indígenas en Brasil durante los últimos veinte años, es posible esbozar la difusión de imágenes fílmicas desde una perspectiva indígena contemporánea.¿Cómo estos autores en Brasil hacen circular sus producciones?
