Paisagem cultural: trabalho e cotidiano da imigração japonesa no Vale do Ribeira/São Paulo

O presente artigo apresenta o estudo de bens culturais da imigração japonesa nos municípios de Registro e Iguape, São Paulo. A partir das premissas da paisagem cultural, foram estudadas várias marcas da imigração no Vale do Ribeira, que vão desde a arquitetura das habitações, os chazais, o trabalho com junco, passando pela própria cidade de Registro e pela Festa do Tooro Nagashi. Estes são importantes testemunhos da ocupação de parcela do território brasileiro através da implantação de três colônias japonesas no país: Katsura, Iguape e Sete Barras.El presente artículo presenta el estudio de los bienes culturales de la emigración japonesa en los municipios de Registro e Iguape, São Paulo.

Based on cultural landscape premises, several aspects of this immigration in the Ribeira Valley were studied – ranging from the architecture of the dwellings, the tea plantations, the work with straw, the town of Registro itself, as well as the Tooro Nagashi Festival. These are important pieces of evidence of the occupation of part of the Brazilian territory through the implementation of three Japanese colonies in the country: Katsura, Iguape and Sete Barras.Peer Reviewe

ENGLISH LEARNING AT A DISTANCE: A CASE STUDY ON SOCIAL-LINGUISTIC AND DIGITAL INCLUSION

Considering that there is a political-digital movement of globalization of which Brazil makes part and for which access to English knowledge is demanded, this paper discusses the theme of social/digital inclusion as an effect of a formal education in English at university level in Brazil. With the understanding that digital and social inclusions can be facets of one same process, a third, linguistic facet, is incorporated in our reflection and made visible, as the three aspects are conceived as interconstitutive of an event that can be, for certain postcolonial, non English speaking countries, of the rising of a social visibility and place. The corpus of analysis chosen for this study is hybrid, composed of a collection of answers to questionnaires and postings in discussion forums by students who participate in a four-year undergraduate long distance course of English and English Literature provided by a Federal University in the Southeast region of Brazil. The course licenses teachers for K-12 schools and is part of a Federal Program do graduate teachers. Our theoretical framework is a discursive one (Pêcheux, 1969, 1975), from which we see both English and ICTs as kinds of knowledge that are practiced within conditions of production related to history, processes of memory and subjectivation, together with post-colonial reflections on language policies and practices (Spivak, 1999), from which we discuss the specific characteristics of teaching/learning English in Brazil

Por uma sociologia polifônica: introduzindo vozes femininas no cânone sociológico

Recent controversies surrounding the sociological canon have foregrounded the need to think about the process of erasing and silencing ‘non-Western’ and female contributions to the discipline. By emphasizing the androcentrism of the sociological canon, our goal is to contribute to the construction of a less biased and limited sociology through the inclusion of female voices previously excluded from its official history. We start by briefly describing the conditions that enabled this exclusion, taking the Chicago women sociologists as an example, along with the emergence of a particular conception of theory and research associated with the formation of the classical canon. Next, by questioning the use of terms such as ‘founders,’ ‘classics’ and ‘canon,’ we maintain that the existence of a canon, classical or otherwise, plays a central role in the identity of the discipline and of social theory itself. Finally, in order to productively include the contributions of sociology’s women pioneers, we propose substituting the literary metaphor of the canon with a musical one: a type of polyphony that emphasizes the contrast between different voices and simultaneously establishes how they can be combined in a common tradition that makes dialogue possible.Controversias recientes acerca del canon sociológico han puesto de manifiesto la necesidad de pensar el proceso de borrado y silenciamiento de las aportaciones “no occidentales” y femeninas a la disciplina. Al enfatizar la dimensión androcéntrica del canon sociológico, nuestro objetivo es contribuir a la construcción de una sociología menos sesgada y limitada a partir de la inclusión de voces femeninas excluidas de la historia oficial de la disciplina. Inicialmente, hacemos una breve descripción de las condiciones que permitieron excluir esas voces, tomando como ejemplo a las sociólogas de Chicago, posibilitando el surgimiento de una particular concepción de la teoría y la investigación asociada a la formación del canon clásico. Luego, al enfatizar el uso de términos como “fundadores”, “clásicos” y “canon”, argumentamos que la existencia de un canon, sea clásico u otro, juega un rol central en la identidad de la disciplina y de la propia teoría social. Finalmente, para incluir productivamente los aportes de las pioneras de la sociología, proponemos sustituir la metáfora literaria del canon por una metáfora musical: una especie de polifonía que enfatiza el contraste entre diferentes voces y, al mismo tiempo, establece cómo esas pueden combinarse en una tradición común que hace posible el diálogo.Controvérsias recentes em torno do cânone sociológico têm pontuado a necessidade de se pensar o processo de apagamento e silenciamento de contribuições “não-ocidentais” e femininas à disciplina. Ao enfatizar a dimensão androcêntrica do cânone sociológico, nosso objetivo é contribuir para a construção de uma sociologia menos viesada e limitada a partir da inclusão de vozes femininas excluídas da história oficial da disciplina. Inicialmente, efetuamos uma breve descrição das condições que possibilitaram a exclusão daquelas vozes, tomando como exemplo as sociólogas de Chicago, e a emergência de uma concepção particular de teoria e de pesquisa associada à formação do cânone clássico. Em seguida, ao tensionarmos o uso de termos como “fundadores”, “clássicos” e “cânone”, defendemos que a existência de um cânone, clássico ou não, desempenha papel central para a identidade da disciplina e da própria teoria social. Por fim, de forma a incluir de maneira produtiva as contribuições das pioneiras da sociologia, propomos substituir a metáfora literária do cânone por uma metáfora musical: um tipo de polifonia que enfatiza o contraste entre diferentes vozes e, ao mesmo tempo, estabelece como elas podem ser combinadas numa tradição comum que torna o diálogo possível

“Estados imaginados” e novas virtudes: notas sobre a construção das políticas de transparência e combate à corrupção

O artigo discute os processos cotidianos da construção da política de transparência e combate à corrupção no Brasil a partir das experiências de campo em dois órgãos de controle. Seu enfoque não é a efetividade dessas políticas ou seus efeitos sobre as formas de accountability, mas a compreensão de sua dimensão moral: como esses valores são incorporados nas práticas cotidianas de auditores e funcionários. Seguindo uma perspectiva da antropologia moral para a compreensão do Estado, buscou-se entender as lógicas de poder atualizadas no ideal de Estado transparente em processo de constituição. As dificuldades encontradas na tentativa de aproximação das burocracias estatais e mesmo de apresentar academicamente os “resultados” de um mundo marcado pelo dilema entre sigilo e “ficções” de transparência serão utilizadas como um caminho para compreender as ambiguidades na constituição do projeto que propõe a “abertura” ou visibilidade do poder como forma segura de controle.This article discusses the routine processes of the construction of transparency policies to combat corruption in Brazil, based on field experiences in two organs of control. Its focus is not on the effectiveness of these policies but on the understanding of its specific moral dimension: how these values are incorporated in the daily practices of auditors. Pursuing a moral anthropology perspective for the understanding of the state, the aim is to understand, in the process of its constitution, the power logics realized in the ideal Transparent State. The difficulties encountered in the attempt to approach state bureaucracies and even to present academically the “results” of a world, characterized by a dilemma between secrecy on the one hand and “fictions” of transparency on the other, are employed as a way to understand the ambiguities in the constitution of a project which proposes “openness” or visibility of power

An Empirical Evaluation of the Cost and Effectiveness of Structural Testing Criteria for Concurrent Programs

AbstractConcurrent program testing is not a trivial task. Features like nondeterminism, communication and synchronization impose new challenges that must be considered during the testing activity. Some initiatives have proposed testing approaches for concurrent programs, in which different paradigms and programming languages are considered. However, in general, these contributions do not present a well-formed experimental study to validate their ideas. The problem is that the data used and generated during the validation is not always available, hampering the replication of studies in the context of other testing approaches. This paper presents an experimental study, taking into account the concepts of the Experimental Software En- gineering to evaluate the cost, effectiveness and strength of the structural testing criteria for message-passing programs. The evaluation was conducted considering a benchmark composed of eight MPI programs. A set of eight structural testing criteria defined for message-passing programs was evaluated with the ValiMPI testing tool, which provides the support required to apply the investigated testing criteria. The results indicate the complementary aspect of the criteria and the information about cost and effectiveness has contributed to the establishment of an incremental testing strategy to apply the criteria. All material generated during the experimental study is available for further comparisons

Brazilian physicists community diversity, equity, and inclusion: a first diagnostic

We report the results of a survey applied to students and professionals in the area of physics in Brazil, pursuing to draw a portrait of the composition of this community in terms of the social markers of difference age, race, ethnicity, geographical origin, sex, gender, sexual orientation, and disabilities. The main goal was to quantify the representativeness of different groups in the community and to detect motivations and difficulties encountered by each group throughout their studies and career. This survey was open to the members of the Brazilian Physics Society from July to September 2018. Our outcomes reveal that (i) the Brazilian physicists community is poorly diverse even in comparison with the population composition, (ii) the main obstacle to pursue the career is socioeconomic vulnerability, and (iii) harassment is high in our society, being more pronounced among women. We hope that these results will be useful to scientific and educational institutions to develop different strategies and policies to change this current situation

Problemas éticos vivenciados por enfermeiros gestores na pandemia da COVID-19 em um hospital universitário

Objective: to understand the ethical problems experienced by nurse managers in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: qualitative study, conducted with 19 nurse managers. The inclusion criteria were nurses who had held a management position for at least six months, and the exclusion criteria were those who held an assistance position. Data were collected through individual interviews with a semi-structured script and document analysis and analyzed using Content Analysis. Results: the ethical problems were related to duplicity and lack of information about norms and routines; lack of patient flow; routine changes without communication with the nurse coordinators; absenteeism and presenteeism of the nursing team; refusal of reassignment by technicians; nursing professionals who chose to work in the COVID-19 sector and earn additional unhealthy salary and those who did not choose due to fear of disease; and conflicts arising from the patient. Conclusion: the analysis revealed situations marked by ethical problems that compromise the dynamics of work and the quality of care. Contributions to practice: understanding ethical problems contributes to the promotion of improvements in planning, intervention, and preparation of professionals to deal with conflicting issues experienced in hospital management.Objetivo: compreender os problemas éticos vivenciados por enfermeiros gestores no contexto da pandemia da COVID-19.
