Cultura e política:reflexões acerca da sociabilidade brasileira

Atravs da articulao das dimenses de cultura e poltica apoiando-se nas idiasde Antonio Gramsci sobre sociedade civil e hegemonia, analisa como a especificidade das relaes sociais e simblicasefetivadas em nosso cotidiano permanecem como o principal locus de disputa por projetos antagnicos e efetivam a ausncia(histrica) da conquista dos direitos da cidadania

Reconfigurations of the social sphere in Brejo da Paraíba in the 21st century: imprints of plantations in Latin America

The research project “Reconfigurations of the social sphere in Brejo of Paraíba in the 21st century” looks into the new social arrangements in that region of northeastern Brazil, which stem from the abrupt changes in the context that was prevalent in the early 1990s, which were triggered by the closure of sugarcane processing plants, following the bankruptcy declared by Santa Maria processing plant. Included in a broader debate regarding the imprints left by centuries on social structures organized around export-led plantations in Latin America, this is a collective research project that aims to inquire into different conversion strategies in comparison with the previous position occupied by social actors in the golden period of sugarcane production

Revisiting the field: the return and permanence in rural areas

Este estudo recupera dois estudos feitos em momentos e locais distintos do Estado de São Paulo buscando comparar a percepção que indivíduos e grupos residindo na zona rural têm sobre o campo e a cidade, utilizando essa percepção para justificar seus movimentos migratórios ou a ausência do desejo de migração. A releitura do primeiro dos estudos realizado na década de 70 foi com base nas preocupações do segundo estudo, já no início do século XXI, o qual desempenhou, portanto, o papel de quadro social da memória. O primeiro dos momentos vividos é representado, de maneira atualizada, pelas preocupações suscitadas no segundo. A impressão deste trabalho, porém, destaca a similitude das representações que se têm, uns e outros, do campo e da cidade, apesar dos momentos e lugares diferentes.This study recovers two studies made in different times and places of the State of São Paulo aiming to compare the perception that individuals and groups living in rural areas have on the country and city, using that perception to justify their migration or lack of desire to migrate. The rereading of the first studies conducted in the 70's was made from the concerns of the second study, in the beginning of the XXI century, which has, therefore, the role of social framework of memory. The first of the two moments experienced is represented, so by updated, by the concerns raised in the second. The printing of this work, however, highlights the similarity of the representations that all of them have of the country and city, despite the different times and places

Patrimonialización y turismo: prácticas de valorización simbólica del espacio rural del nordeste del Brasil

En este artículo analizamos algunos aspectos sociales del proceso de patrimonialización del municipio de Areia, evidenciando la correlación entre la valorización del patrimonio material y simbólico y la turistificación de la región del Brejo paraibano, en el nordeste del Brasil. El objeto central del estudio de caso es el desarrollo de prácticas turísticas en los ingenios azucareros productores de “cachaza de alambique” y en la comunidad rural de Chã Jardim. A partir del concepto de espacio social de Pierre Bourdieu, elegimos analizar la construcción de estos atractivos turísticos por parte de agentes sociales ubicados en posiciones antagónicas, contribuyendo así a una comprensión más amplia de las disputas, conflictos e intereses que atraviesan y delimitan los escenarios de desarrollo local y regional a través del turismo. Con base en el método etnográfico, mostramos cómo el contexto sociohistórico sedimenta algunas de las posibilidades del presente desde la movilización inicial de personas de los estratos sociales más altos y, sólo después de este movimiento, se hace posible la participación de la comunidad rural en el desarrollo turístico local

Pervasive gaps in Amazonian ecological research

Biodiversity loss is one of the main challenges of our time,1,2 and attempts to address it require a clear un derstanding of how ecological communities respond to environmental change across time and space.3,4 While the increasing availability of global databases on ecological communities has advanced our knowledge of biodiversity sensitivity to environmental changes,5–7 vast areas of the tropics remain understudied.8–11 In the American tropics, Amazonia stands out as the world’s most diverse rainforest and the primary source of Neotropical biodiversity,12 but it remains among the least known forests in America and is often underrepre sented in biodiversity databases.13–15 To worsen this situation, human-induced modifications16,17 may elim inate pieces of the Amazon’s biodiversity puzzle before we can use them to understand how ecological com munities are responding. To increase generalization and applicability of biodiversity knowledge,18,19 it is thus crucial to reduce biases in ecological research, particularly in regions projected to face the most pronounced environmental changes. We integrate ecological community metadata of 7,694 sampling sites for multiple or ganism groups in a machine learning model framework to map the research probability across the Brazilian Amazonia, while identifying the region’s vulnerability to environmental change. 15%–18% of the most ne glected areas in ecological research are expected to experience severe climate or land use changes by 2050. This means that unless we take immediate action, we will not be able to establish their current status, much less monitor how it is changing and what is being lostinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

O declínio da agroindústria açucareira no Nordeste e o acesso à condição camponesa

Este artigo apresenta considerações teórico-metodológicas sobre pesquisa referente à reconversão social de famílias da condição de moradores em terras de usina, tanto trabalhadores agrícolas quanto operários rurais, para a de assentados de reforma agrária. Trata-se de objeto em construção que, baseado na situação empírica da falência da usina Santa Maria, na região do Brejo paraibano, aponta para a questão da reconstrução dos mundos subjetivos, imposta pela nova situação vivida, através do conceito de “desenraizamento” e dos meios de sua superação, centrais na obra de Pierre Bourdieu. elocation-id: e2230208 Recebido: 10.jul.2022 • Aceito: 19.out.2022 • Publicado: 7.dez.2022 Artigo original / Revisão por pares duplo-cego / Acesso abert
