CORPO, MASCULINIDADES E CULTURA FÍSICA: MAPEAMENTO INICIAL DE PESQUISAS NOS ESTUDOS CULTURAIS FÍSICOS

This research aims to map the studies of masculinities from the relationship between Physical Cultural Studies and Feminism through readings between body, physical culture, and power, to produce reflections that can support research in Brazilian physical education. The investigation was based on qualitative assumptions, based on a literature review on the themes "Body", "Masculinities" and "Physical Culture". In this work, three discussion topics were presented, which were elaborated through a bibliographical analysis of nine texts, highlighting the masculinity theme. Finally, it is concluded that the debate on masculinity in sport can contribute to several reflections on the way men participate and experience physical education in the Brazilian context.Esta investigación tiene como objetivo mapear los estudios de las masculinidades a partir de la relación entre los Estudios Culturales Físicos y el Feminismo a través de lecturas entre el cuerpo, la cultura física y el poder, con el fin de producir reflexiones que puedan apoyar la investigación en educación física brasileña. Para ello, se realizó una investigación cualitativa, a partir de una revisión bibliográfica sobre los temas "Cuerpo", "Masculinidades" y "Cultura Física". En este trabajo, fueron presentados tres temas de discusión, que fueron elaborados a través de un análisis bibliográfico de nueve textos, destacándose el tema de la masculinidad. Se concluye que el debate sobre la masculinidad en el deporte puede contribuir a la reflexión sobre la forma en que los hombres participan y experimentan la educación física en el contexto brasileño.Esta pesquisa visa mapear os estudos de masculinidades a partir das relações entre Estudos Culturais Físicos e Feminismo por meio das leituras entre corpo, cultura física e poder, de modo a produzir reflexões que possam subsidiar pesquisas na educação física brasileira. A investigação foi baseada nos pressupostos qualitativos, com base em revisão de literatura acerca dos temas “Corpo”, “Masculinidades” e “Cultura Física”. Neste trabalho se fez presente três tópicos de discussão que foram elaborados por meio de análise bibliográfica de nove textos, evidenciando a temática masculinidade. Por fim, conclui-se que o debate de masculinidade no esporte pode contribuir com diversas reflexões na maneira como os homens participam e experienciam a educação física no contexto brasileiro

Brazilian Flora 2020: Leveraging the power of a collaborative scientific network

International audienceThe shortage of reliable primary taxonomic data limits the description of biological taxa and the understanding of biodiversity patterns and processes, complicating biogeographical, ecological, and evolutionary studies. This deficit creates a significant taxonomic impediment to biodiversity research and conservation planning. The taxonomic impediment and the biodiversity crisis are widely recognized, highlighting the urgent need for reliable taxonomic data. Over the past decade, numerous countries worldwide have devoted considerable effort to Target 1 of the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC), which called for the preparation of a working list of all known plant species by 2010 and an online world Flora by 2020. Brazil is a megadiverse country, home to more of the world's known plant species than any other country. Despite that, Flora Brasiliensis, concluded in 1906, was the last comprehensive treatment of the Brazilian flora. The lack of accurate estimates of the number of species of algae, fungi, and plants occurring in Brazil contributes to the prevailing taxonomic impediment and delays progress towards the GSPC targets. Over the past 12 years, a legion of taxonomists motivated to meet Target 1 of the GSPC, worked together to gather and integrate knowledge on the algal, plant, and fungal diversity of Brazil. Overall, a team of about 980 taxonomists joined efforts in a highly collaborative project that used cybertaxonomy to prepare an updated Flora of Brazil, showing the power of scientific collaboration to reach ambitious goals. This paper presents an overview of the Brazilian Flora 2020 and provides taxonomic and spatial updates on the algae, fungi, and plants found in one of the world's most biodiverse countries. We further identify collection gaps and summarize future goals that extend beyond 2020. Our results show that Brazil is home to 46,975 native species of algae, fungi, and plants, of which 19,669 are endemic to the country. The data compiled to date suggests that the Atlantic Rainforest might be the most diverse Brazilian domain for all plant groups except gymnosperms, which are most diverse in the Amazon. However, scientific knowledge of Brazilian diversity is still unequally distributed, with the Atlantic Rainforest and the Cerrado being the most intensively sampled and studied biomes in the country. In times of “scientific reductionism”, with botanical and mycological sciences suffering pervasive depreciation in recent decades, the first online Flora of Brazil 2020 significantly enhanced the quality and quantity of taxonomic data available for algae, fungi, and plants from Brazil. This project also made all the information freely available online, providing a firm foundation for future research and for the management, conservation, and sustainable use of the Brazilian funga and flora
