Social technologies and agroecological practices in the semi-arid region of Rio Grande do Norte

2025-08-04T16:15:54-03:00

This booklet presents the results of the extension project "Agroecological Transition and Solidarity Economy in the Seridó Potiguar," carried out by the Semi-Arid Territories Research and Extension Group (SEMIAR) in partnership with the Diocesan Caritas of Caicó.
In August 2024, visits were made to the agroecological transition experiences of 10 groups of peasant women located in different communities in the municipalities of Lagoa Nova and Bodó, in the interior of Rio Grande do Norte.
The women in these groups benefited from family and collective social technologies implemented by Caritas, contributing to productive diversification, food security, and income generation.
These technologies include economic seedbeds, biowater tanks, and biodigesters, which favor the collective production of agroecological gardens, reflecting the potential of agroecology in promoting better living conditions for women and their families, strengthening Coexistence with the Semi-Arid Region. During community visits, women were asked about the importance of social technologies in their lives and agroecological management practices. Their stories were selected and included in this booklet.

In addition to the women's stories, the booklet also features photographs that demonstrate the daily practice of agroecological management and the use of social technologies disseminated by Cáritas in the communities of the Potiguar Semi-Arid region.

GEODOC Publications

GEODOC is a Research Group on Geography, Teaching, and Curriculum, founded in 2013, which has established itself in Brazil in these areas. The studies published in this book reveal the maturity of its researchers, including professors, undergraduates, master's students, doctoral students, and postdoctoral fellows. Establishing a cohesive and engaged group is not common among many research groups in Brazil; GEODOC, of which I also participate, has this characteristic of an integrated and productive group.

New history of Colonial Ceará

2025-07-14T09:53:48-03:00

In this collection, the reader will find a different way of viewing the colonial period in Ceará when compared to the historiographical perspectives that have traditionally dictated the themes and perspectives cast on the colonial past. (...) If the territorial limits of the captaincy were taken by traditional historiography as boundaries that circumscribed and, to a large extent, limited the perspective and focus of its analyses to essentially local factors, the works that comprise this book demonstrate, through their plurality of approaches, that Colonial Ceará was, therefore, a space permeated and traversed by multiple influences and interests; a space strongly integrated and influenced by dynamics that permeated broader territorialities such as: the captaincy general of Pernambuco, the so-called "sertões do norte," Portuguese America, and the Atlantic space.

The Brazilian Semi-Arid Regions

2025-09-22T19:03:17-03:00

This book is the result of the efforts of researchers affiliated with the Semi-Arid Research and Extension Network (REPES). REPES's mission goes beyond scientific production and seeks to disseminate knowledge that contributes to expanding knowledge about this region, so rich in landscapes, natural diversity, and cultural expressions.

Furthermore, the Network seeks to foster actions that materialize knowledge for the benefit of the communities that inhabit the Semi-Arid. In this sense, the International Semi-Arid Forum stands out as a privileged space for researchers and communities to meet, valuing the knowledge and practices that emerge from this unique territory.

Sociology and Introduction to Teaching in Ceará

2025-06-11T18:13:37-03:00

This book brings to light the stories and impacts of the PIBID and Pedagogical Residency programs on the training of Sociology teachers in Ceará. With a rich panorama of experiences and critical reflections, the work portrays how these initiatives promoted the encounter between university and school, enhancing teaching practice and bringing teaching closer to the social and cultural realities of students. Amid the uncertainties of educational policies, each story recorded here is an invitation to learn about the strategies, methodologies and resistance that helped transform teacher training in times of change. More than a simple report of good practices, this book is a vibrant testimony of how PIBID and RP became the foundations for the training of more engaged, aware and innovative teachers. The texts do not shy away from challenges – they face them head on, exploring the urgency of topics such as racial inequality, gender and the New High School. Prepare to immerse yourself in a mosaic of experiences that illuminate the path of Sociology in schools and inspire new struggles for an education that makes sense for everyone.

Naked Poetry

2025-06-24T11:51:18-03:00

Bringing together poets who set the stage of Slam da Quentura on fire, one of the greatest symbols of spoken word poetry in Ceará, this work is a sacred territory of resistance, affection and revolution. Each page pulses with the orality of the alleys, the fury that springs from the margins, the beauty that is born of poetry. It is an embodied word that does not ask for permission: it crosses over. It is memory, identity and future, written with sweat, scars and courage. Organized by Coletivo Fora da Métrica, Poesia Nua e Crua is not just a book, it is a collective body that dares to exist out loud. A collection that affirms: our literature does not fit into a frame, it is blood, it is spark, it is fire.

Personal trajectories in (audio)visual anthropology in Brazil

2025-05-27T15:59:54-03:00

This book was born from a collective experience forged in the heat of the pandemic, when the urgency to reinvent oneself gave rise to a project that goes beyond conventional academic work. It was in this spirit that more than 30 online meetings brought together researchers and lovers of (Audio)visual Anthropology. The conversations — long, intense, full of affection and memories — showed that “an audiovisual production is like a mirror of ourselves”. More than recording trajectories, the interviews revealed that the production of these researchers builds them as people, or in their words, “this is not my work, this is me”, as they are imbued with the “various worlds of life” that they have experienced, the crossings, the views and the listening that shape them as anthropologists. After all, “we only exist through images, we only think with images”, and it is precisely in the power of this image-based thinking that Anthropology merges with art, because, yes, “Anthropology is art”. The book also reflects on the tensions and contradictions of academic work, recognizing that “the university is not specifically in a bubble, it has only created other bubbles”, and that breaking these barriers requires courage to sustain true exchange processes. We learned that images are not complete, they do not contain meanings — quite the opposite, “images play on the side of incompleteness”, and in this, like pieces of a puzzle, they complete our lives, touch our feelings, that is, “they are that piece of something that touched a life”, opening cracks for that which cannot be put into words.
Being an anthropologist, more than a technique, must have the sensitivity to “sustain the gaze and the listening”, must know that their production has power. We learned that the image carries with it the soul of the person who produced it and of the person it portrays. We learned to see through other perspectives, such as “the indigenous gaze that passes through the lens”, the gaze of the black, peripheral, trans person, which helps us to shift our certainties and expand our perceptions. All of this reaffirms that, in (Audio)visual Anthropology, the encounter between aesthetics, politics and affection is never trivial, because, even if we have the impression that “beauty comes from far away”, it is close, within us, and carrying it requires sensitivity, commitment and, above all, boldness, because “without boldness nothing can be done”.

Sobral and industrial heritage

2025-04-25T09:48:14-03:00

This is a book to be read and enjoyed. Yes, knowledge and taste go hand in hand, in the pleasure of reading! The narrative pages and photographs present the city of Sobral in various circumstances of its social reality, such as: cultural events, work in factories, festivities. It is important to learn about the history of Sobral through the experiences of its inhabitants, especially the experiences of former workers of the Ernesto Deocleciano Spinning and Weaving Company (CFTED).
Sobral is a medium-sized city located 225 km from Fortaleza/Ceará. Part of its urban center has been listed by IPHAN as a National Historic Heritage site since 1999. The record of local history can be seen beyond architectural buildings and be composed of the experiences and social practices of its residents, because we know that history is plural and the oral accounts of the life experiences of ordinary people show that there are not only versions of kings, queens, politicians and heroes.

SINDSEMS

2025-04-25T11:25:17-03:00

SINDSEMS was born in the context of the so-called new unionism, which in practice questioned and overcame the union model imposed by the Getúlio Vargas government, a model in which union entities were tied to the State. During the Civil-Military Dictatorship, workers faced crises in the face of a union tied to the State and leaders being persecuted and tortured. However, despite this scenario of persecution of unions, during the redemocratization process in the 1980s, there was a considerable change in the actions of these entities, and more specifically in the ABC region of São Paulo, building a new form of union activity with protagonism and direct action in factories and public and private companies.

The average city of Sobral/CE

2025-04-16T10:01:16-03:00

Historically, the city of Sobral has played a relevant role in the spatial context of the northeastern hinterland and, particularly in the state of Ceará, thanks to the production of cotton and livestock, which granted Sobral the status of regional center in the northern part of the state.
Today, in the 1920s, the city of Sobral stands out, no longer for the exuberance of traditional activities, but for the strong presence in the city of modern activities, related to commerce and services, which certainly represent factors of strong influence in promoting the spatial interactions that Sobral maintains. In the context of these interactions, it is important to emphasize the role played by education and health services, which considerably expand Sobral's relations, not only with its region of influence, but with the entire state of Ceará and with the states of Piauí and Rio Grande do Norte.
Given this reality, we can affirm that Sobral continues to have a regional protagonism, resulting from a set of dynamics resulting from the relationships established between society and nature, which are analyzed and interpreted by the authors of the various articles that make up the book SOBRAL: ENTRELAÇANDO OLHARES, EXPERIÊNCIAS e SABERES.

I'm there and you don't see me

2025-05-22T18:06:10-03:00

Hello, my name is Divisa. In this booklet, I will tell you a little about some of the many non-living natural treasures of the municipalities of Alto Longá and Beneditinos – Piauí, Brazil. Formed many, many years ago, the abiotic (non-living) nature of these municipalities has true natural treasures and curiosities that not everyone imagines exist so close to them, and are even part of the daily lives of many people. But are these riches perceived and valued by the local population?

Considering that I live only on the border of these municipalities and I still don't know them very well, I will have the important help of two very intelligent friends who know the regions where they live. But don't worry, I will introduce them later.

I'm telling you to stay tuned, because good and unprecedented geohistories are coming!

Happy discovering!

PROCEEDINGS - I Brazilian Congress of Didactics of Geography

2025-04-14T15:33:22-03:00

The 1st Brazilian Congress on Didactics of Geography: meanings, elements and the place of language is organized by the Study and Research Group on Space, Teaching and Geography (GEPEEG), of the Department of Geography (DGE), of the Pau dos Ferros Advanced Campus (CAPF), and has the support of the Master's in Teaching of the Postgraduate Program in Teaching (PPGE) of the State University of Rio Grande do Norte (UERN). Its implementation is based on the qualification of the institutional relations of the Master's in Teaching and its strengthening and improvement.

GEPEEG was created in 2012 to address Geography and Geographic Education through the various theories of Jürgen Habermas: politics and deliberative democracy, ethics of discourse, theory of knowledge and, notably, the theory of communicative action.

Between 2021-2022, during the Post-doctorate at the Federal University of Piauí, Prof. Dr. Rosalvo Nobre Carneiro proposed to think about the Didactics of Geography: the technical-scientific-informational period and the linguistic turn, which motivated GEPEEG to discuss the Didactics of Geography, especially in its Brazilian matrix.

Climate, soils and water

2025-03-12T10:07:44-03:00

This book reveals the commitment to scientific production and dissemination and academic maturity, presenting studies of a technical and applied nature to those focused on methodological aspects, involving the areas of geographic climatology on an intraregional scale, geoenvironmental analysis and integrated environmental analysis, including phytogeographical, pedological aspects and water resource management. In addition, it presents the extension projects and technical innovations originally developed by the LEAC group.

Santa Cruz in the territorial context of Paraíba

2025-02-03T15:32:45-03:00

Santa Cruz in the territorial context of Paraíba is the result of an aspiration to pay homage to Santa Cruz and its people, conditioned by Geography, through the genetic complexity that is dedicated to studying the determining processes that establish the essence of a place that is formalized as a city, from its municipal political emancipation. In this context, considering the municipalities, states and the union as federative entities of Brazil, that is, political units that act in the territory, we present Santa Cruz as a political unit, inserted in the state of Paraíba, Northeast macro-region of Brazil. Its peculiarities define it as a municipal territory, arranged by its natural conditions that determine the activities that develop there, marked by the absence or presence of water, an essential element for life, which regulates human performance.

History of Ibiapinense education

2025-02-26T11:38:02-03:00

This book explores not only historical milestones and pedagogical advances, but also personal stories that, over the generations, have contributed to the construction of a vibrant educational community. In each chapter, we delve into educational policies, the restructuring of teaching, pedagogical innovations, and advances in access to education, providing a panoramic view that ranges from the founding of the first schools, marked by religious influence, to the modern educational institutions that shape the future of our young people.

GAM-demia

2025-02-26T10:35:43-03:00

Many people have a new habit in their daily routines that involves taking white, blue, and orange pills from their pill packs and taking them in the morning, afternoon, and/or evening. We are talking about psychotropic drugs, psychotropic drugs, or psychiatric medications, as they are known. The medicalization of life is a reality worldwide. Social medicalization is a term conceptualized by Illich, for whom medicalization implies some harm to health, with a consequent reduction in autonomy and competence in autonomous management to face and manage the oscillations and vicissitudes of life, with an increase in dependence on professional health care (Illich, 1981). The tendency towards medicalizing care in medical practice brings consequences that include clinical damage to the individual, dissemination of passive behaviors and demands for professional care for common life situations, and a reduction in people's ability to manage their experiences involving suffering and pain (Illich, 1981). Medicalization can occur under any medical rationale and, in this work, the discussion focuses on the place of medicalization in mental health treatment.

Politics, religion and knowledge in perspective(s)

2025-02-26T11:12:15-03:00

The book that we now present to the public is a demonstration clear that it is possible to dialogue and undertake high-quality investigations relevance from the interior: seja o nosso próprio, seja o do Nordeste Brazilian. Various topics we can discuss with different authors and perspectives in addition to the articulating goals of the lines of research that includes the Academic Master's Course in Philosophy of the Vale do Acaraú State University - UVA. Espalham-se from different times the thoughts that challenge us to produce knowledge from the Cearense countryside. And despite our circumstances traditionally adverse, blessed is this fruit that gives us resistance: We will continue to philosophize and impact our future to form each more and more researchers aware of their place and their responsibility as our place. The work is authored by two egresses of our course, aos quais We extend our thanks for your valuable contribution. You topics discussed demonstrate the importance of dialogue with different currents and thought systems, whose interlocution presumes the opening for plural discourse, the dialogic attitude that achieves add different thinkers and researchers, without forgetting them discuss, critically, philosophical questões in various branches of the tradition, with significant contributions to research in the area of Philosophy in the post-graduation ceremony in Brazil.

The Historical, Geographical and Anthropological Institute of Ceará

2025-06-03T11:55:05-03:00

In this book, we explore the behind-the-scenes of the historiographical construction of Ceará between the 19th and 20th centuries, focusing on the intellectuals who, organized in the Instituto Histórico do Ceará, shaped an official narrative about the origin, identity and role of the state in the Brazilian nation. By mapping the discourses, trajectories and practices of these historians, the work reveals not only the meanings they imprinted on Ceará's past, but also the symbolic and political mechanisms that transformed memory into ideology, an event into truth, and Ceará into an identity “clearing” within national history. This is not just a tour of 19th-century erudition — it is a critical excavation of the foundations of Ceará's imaginary.

Far from seeking simple refutation or mechanical revisionism, this study offers a lens through which to understand how texts from the past still whisper (or scream) in the present. By treating historiography as a language and social reading, the research proposes that the reader not only learn about the milestones of this intellectual production, but also question its uses and implications. How is a “strong people” built? Who decides what should be remembered or erased? And why is it important to discuss this again now? In the end, the invitation is clear: to revisit history not as something fixed in stone, but as a field of symbolic disputes — alive, unstable and politically charged.

Knowledge and power

2025-03-12T14:03:14-03:00

You know the saying that “knowledge is power”? In his research, historian Almir Leal realized that it is more than true, especially when we talk about Ceará society in the 19th century. Without the creation of a “modernizing” thought, the image of Ceará as a “land of light” or freedom would not have been established.
By focusing on the creation of this “Ceará social thought”, Almir Leal brought to light the ideas that influenced the decisions of the elite and helped to establish Ceará in the following century. Knowledge and Power is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the history of Ceará.

History, Literature and Historiography

2023-11-01T12:12:46-03:00

The works gathered here were part of the Thematic Symposia “Writing of History and History of Literature”, “History and Comics”, History and Literature in Latin America” and “Press, print and history: circulation of didactic-intellectual knowledge in the 19th and XX”. As can be seen, not only were the themes diverse, but the perspectives and approach lenses were varied and rich, demonstrating a vast reflection already consolidated in the field of cultural history and social history.

As Roger Chartier (2002, p. 255) tells us, the historian today, when approaching the literary text, cannot do without some questions that point to the meanings that readers, spectators and listeners give to this type of text. It should also be emphasized that the historian can find good stimuli for historical analysis not only in literature, but also in literary criticism, especially when this thinks “text and context in a dialectically integral interpretation”, in the words of Antonio Candido (2006, p 13). The relationship between text and context is discussed by Candido in order to establish clear boundaries between sociological and historical studies and literary studies. For the former, as the critic from São Paulo tells us, it is interesting to examine the social origin of the writer, the relationships between a work and the world views and ideas of a time, the book, the preferences for a certain genre, a certain author, etc. . (CANDIDO, 2006, p. 14).

Edit Rachel de Queiroz

2024-11-11T17:07:28-03:00

Rachel de Queiroz has been re-created over the years by hands other than her own. The same is true of her first novel, O Quinze, which, in addition to consolidating a powerful narrative about the drought, establishes as an author a young woman who had not yet reached twenty years of age. Her life spanned more than ninety years, with developments in other forms of writing, as she dedicated herself to journalism, chronicles, and translation. The young author became a woman with a solid and recognized career, and was always accompanied by that first novel. Gilberto Gilvan Souza Oliveira's work documents the various creations of the little book and the author, over the years, by the hands of cover designers, illustrators, and proofreaders. It highlights the book's dialogues with other texts about the drought, with the author's own books, and with those who thought and wrote about literature in Brazil. And, most importantly, with those who made the material existence of a text possible: the editors. At this point, the historian shows how it is unavoidable to analyze Rachel without thinking about “Casa”, as the publishing house where she worked for decades was called: José Olympio.
In addition to the pleasure of reading the writer's work, this study proposes to discover the pleasure in following the life of O Quinze, the book object, over the decades in its various editions.

Basic sciences for sustainable development

2024-11-28T09:31:07-03:00

The book "Basic Sciences for Sustainable Development: Interdisciplinary Dialogues" was conceived in the context of the 20th National Science and Technology Week of 2023, which highlighted the importance of fundamental sciences in creating innovative solutions to global challenges. Exploring the contributions of biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics to sustainability, the work adopts an interdisciplinary approach that covers topics such as green chemistry, renewable energy, biodiversity conservation and mathematical modeling for sustainable systems. In addition to reinforcing the essential role of science education and community engagement, the book inspires the practical application of this knowledge in local communities, promoting sustainable practices that aim for a more balanced and fair future for all.

Simply putting words together does not make a poem. A poem is made of pleasures that are becoming increasingly rare: life, friends, love, a Lou Reed song, bare feet on the sand at the beach. Little things that we keep in the recesses of our existence, in jars filled with memories. One fine day we decide that the time has come to share them. This is what the poet Gilson Soares Cordeiro does when he provides us with his jar poems, one of the best poems produced in the Portuguese language. A beauty!

History of Brazil in performance classes

2024-11-13T10:52:37-03:00

During a class that was becoming monotonous, when the monologue had already lasted more than fifteen minutes, I challenged the students to get out of their slump. Little did they know that this act, suddenly, in some way, was the result of the reflection of more than a decade of meaningless academic work. I was also trying to get out of the slump. At that moment, we were all taken by the unexpected challenge of getting out of the lethargy that had befallen us that semester (2011.1). And what would be the magic to make the Brazilian Historiography syllabus gain meaning and life for us? After some time analyzing some suggestions, I proposed that we write a book about local memoirists from each municipality where the students in that class were from.

Electronic Proceedings — VII International Seminar - History and Historiography written history and memory policies

Multifaceted approaches to teaching

2024-10-23T11:24:05-03:00

A collection entitled "Multifaceted Approaches to Education: Investigações e Experiências" involves the gathering and connection of diverse chapters, carefully selected, for the promotion of critical socio-educational knowledge not that it is related to the areas of Education, Curriculum and Teaching, primary pillars for the promotion of an education with quality. From these comprehensive approaches, both in the national and foreign context, it is estimated that readers, two diverse branches of scientific knowledge, can improve their studies and research in various fields of knowledge. The teaching and learning process projects approaches and broad narratives, showing the challenges and needs around its application in the classroom. These sciences contribute, significantly, to the formation of critical thinking of students and their interaction with the society to which they belong, considering the cultural pluralities in their respective school environments. Clam, therefore, addresses the potentialities linked to the educational field through two topics developed.

CONTROL OF QUALITY AND SAFETY OF FOOD

2024-10-21T13:09:21-03:00

The book Quality Control and Food Safety consists of 14 chapters and aims to present the topic as a macroprocess with multiple actors within food companies, in addition to a previous concept focusing in the final inspection of the production process. It addresses various safe food production systems, the importance of standardization and the consequent reduction of losses, as well as the need for adequate treatment and disposal of waste. This book is the result of the restless and innovative mind of Prof. Dr. Herlene Greyce, intending to contribute to the training of new professionals and enable the updating of others already working in the market. To compose this book, a team of qualified professionals came together, with practical experience in food establishments for bring readers, in a simple and precise way, their experiences for the production of food with quality and safety.

Writing history and memory politics

2024-11-01T11:12:21-03:00

This book presents a series of reflections on the extreme violence of the occupation of the territory in its various moments, from the Colony to the Brazil of the economic miracle. From the province of Grão-Pará to the “emptiness” of the Amazon and Mato Grosso, even before its administrative division. The articles are the result of the VII International Seminar on History and Historiography, an event that consolidates a network of programs and researchers, whose articulation, initiated in 2005, highlights discussions and stories that for a long time were relegated to the background, but which are fundamental for us to understand our formation as a people, as a nation.

Between Forests and Oceans

2024-09-02T15:01:00-03:00

This work takes us back in time when it involves thinking about the relationship between Brazil and Portugal throughout our territorial formation. It is not a monologue, since in practice the dialogue was carried out in the research field and recorded here. There are nine chapters that bring together research carried out on both sides of the Atlantic, uniting Brazilian and Portuguese professionals who have geographic space as their focus of interest.

The Education through stone

2025-06-03T10:30:32-03:00

Telling a story well is an art. It requires talent to capture the attention of the reader/listener/viewer and allow them to travel through the scenarios described, become emotional and develop along with the characters. Something that, for lack of a better word, is magical and enchanting. And it is precisely this magic and enchantment that Dr. Osmar Fonteles' text presents to us when narrating the life story of the native residents of Jericoacoara and their relationship with the so-called Rota das Emoções, which runs through an integrated tourism route between federal conservation units in the states of Ceará, Piauí and Maranhão. The author guides us through a route of discoveries, a path of learning that shows possibilities for rebuilding ourselves from the other. And the search for reconstruction is felt in each sentence that transcends the objectivity of the academic text and transforms into inspired literature.

Geographical education and teacher training in Brazil and Portugal

2024-08-10T18:41:01-03:00

This book is the result of reflections on Geographic Education and Geography Teacher Training in Brazil and Portugal, and is a bibliographic production of the II National Seminar on Geographic Education, Teacher Training and Teaching Methodologies. This event was held in April 2023, with the support of the Postgraduate Program in Geography (Propgeo), and organized by the Geography Research and Teaching Laboratory (Lapegeo) of the Vale do Acaraú State University (UVA), with Professor Dr. Glauciana Alves Teles as general coordinator. It is worth mentioning the important support for the event from the Support Program for Events in the Country (Paep), of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (Capes), notice 06/2022, which made it possible for professors from higher education institutions in Brazil, such as the states of Ceará, Paraíba and Espírito Santo, and abroad, such as Lisbon, Portugal, to attend.

The cachaça capital of Ceará

2024-08-05T10:13:00-03:00

The artisanal production of cachaça is a cultural heritage of the city of Viçosa do Ceará. For centuries, the way of making this typically Brazilian drink has been passed down from generation to generation and today it drives the region's economy, both through trade carried out by various local brands and through tourism, stimulated by the circuit of events and guided tours. This small book shows us a little of this tradition and invites us to discover the riches of this beautiful mountain city.

PROCEEDINGS - 1st Meeting of Agrarian Geography of Ceará – Dilemmas of the Agrarian Space of Ceará

2024-08-09T11:33:03-03:00

These ANNALS demonstrate the potential of agrarian geography produced in Ceará. The 1st Meeting on Agrarian Geography of Ceará, with the theme: Dilemmas of the Agrarian Space of Ceará: Land and Water for Whom?, brought together students, teachers, social movements, rural people, non-governmental organizations and social activists to reflect on the dilemmas of the use and domination of land and water in Ceará. Through lectures, mini-courses, workshops, presentations of works and photographic exhibitions, the agrarian issue of Ceará was problematized, discussed and strengthened. One of the results of this event is the diversity, depth and richness of the texts found in this book, which systematize research, experiences and other production of knowledge in progress in the agrarian space of Ceará.

Under the Cashew Tree

2024-06-21T18:04:54-03:00

Cerol and Razor

2024-06-21T18:34:59-03:00

Cerol e Navalha is, first and foremost, a manifesto. A manifesto that is born from the constant search and struggle for personal expression and affirmation and, like a river that meets another river, converges in the various manifestations of collective expression. Thus, expanding in precedence and resonance with what is yet to come. Cerol e Navalha, now in its book version, represents the materialization of the transformative power of the encounter. The words planted here were once silenced voices, which were once mutilated thoughts, which were once something strange, unknown, felt in every part of our body-home, but which found its way to the seed-letters, became words and transformed them. yourself in this beautiful, sharp and thunderous-poetic-floating-forest, which can now fly, land and pollinate other lives. These lives are almost always victims of the torn-up knife of “non-Being” and not belonging.

A universe called capoeira

2024-06-20T18:36:17-03:00

Capoeira is, yes, a fight. But a fight for equality, not for the recognition of a cultural manifestation of our people, as it exists independently of this and does not need anyone's approval. Just like the vast majority of our people, capoeira has historically fought for its right to exist. In this small and beautiful book, three artists of words, illustrations, colors and capoeira present in a playful way for children the universe of ginga, berimbaus, atabaque, pandeiro and how the practice of this very Brazilian sport awakens affections , friendship, educates and promotes freedom and self-awareness.

Belchior. Enjoy reading!

Trajetórias de pesquisa

2024-05-09T09:45:32-03:00

Uberização, gender, traditional workers, land workers, or unionism, inequalities, dialogue, research, capitalism, empathy. Each of these key words is essential for those who are interested in studies about the world of work. More ainda: there are fundamental issues for each of us, workers, inserted in a society in constant transformation, never always (or almost never) for better. Pensando nisso, a series Território Científico uniu in this 5th volume interviews with 11 researchers who have dedicated themselves to the world of work and workers for years. To better conhecermos our society, nothing better than we conhecermos aquilo que a move: o trabalho. We therefore invite you, dear readers, to reflect on what we know about our reality, which is the first step so that we can make this transformation more just.

Oblique Memories

2024-06-20T10:50:03-03:00

The book explains Erineu Melo's passion for the experiences, dreams, joys and sadness of characters from the city of Groaíras, in order to pay homage to them in a true rescue by recording a journey through memory. The author is a special narrator who recovers, with artistic excellence and careful attention, the lines and knowledge of each character, challenging us to remain connected to reality when reading each story. Texts manage to delight us, not only because of the particularities, personalities, individualities and singularities involved, but also because they prevent the reported facts from scarring and falling into oblivion.

Camocim port and soul

2024-06-12T00:52:20-03:00

The text resulting from this work is a portion of the research effort that has been building for more than a decade of studies. After joining the Vale do Acaraú State University – UVA in 1994, which Prof. CARLOS AUGUSTO PEREIRA DOS SANTOS prioritized research on our municipality. From the Specialization Course in Theory and Methodology of History, held in 1996 in Sobral, through the Master's in Social History at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and Federal University of Ceará and, now culminating with the Doctorate in History of the North and Northeast at Federal University of Pernambuco, which Camocim is the focus of our work.

Community Mobilization Guide

2024-03-11T23:53:17-03:00

This initiative is part of Gabrielle Astier's sandwich doctoral internship at Villatte Wheatley Okretic 1, and continues the work of the Environment and Society (MASO) research group at the University of Antioquia, which has been doing this since 2014 with young people from the northeast region. bringing new tools to inspire people and carry out interventions in public spaces (underused, degraded or without vitality), in commune 2 the game Oasis Game was used. This game is a community mobilization tool created by Instituto Elos 2, with an approach that proposes a change of perspective with oneself, with others and with the world, and the creation of emotional bonds that promote transformation and appropriation of shared spaces. One of the challenges of the game is: in a short time (2 weeks), raise awareness and mobilize people to recognize the beauty of the territory, connect emotionally with the local inhabitants and discover the latent collective dream that gives meaning to that space. Being careful not to create expectations that would be difficult to achieve and realizing the collective dream in two days emerged during the process.

Comprehensive Urban Projects and Social Urbanism

2024-03-12T00:33:44-03:00

This book aims to outline a theoretical approach to Social Urbanism, so widespread through the “successful” experience in Medellín, Colombia, by Integral Urban Projects (PUIs), especially in the north-eastern zone. Based on the history of Medellín, some important events were discussed that are related to the historical, political and social development of this city's urban policies. The experience that the researcher had in the city of Medellín will be shared, translated into field observations and interviews carried out with public agents, neighborhood residents and other social actors. This work is the result of an internship carried out at the Universidad de Antioquia, in Medellín – Colombia from October 2018 to April 2019, through the sandwich doctorate program in a partnership between the Postgraduate Course in Urbanism at the Pontifical Catholic University of Campinas and the group MASO from the Faculty of Social Sciences of the University of Antioquia, with funding from CAPES, whose research proposal was to investigate and reflect on the urban interventions carried out in the Integral Urban Projects in commune 2 of the Nororiental Zone, in a context of urban policy known as urbanism social situation in the city of Medellín, and the forms of appropriation of public spaces around popular housing. The work was part of the Sandwich Doctorate program funded by CAPES between the period of October 2018 to April 2019, in the research group “Medio Ambiente y Sociedad-MASO” of the Facultad de Ciencias Sociales of the University of Antioquia, with the guidance of Laura Machado de Mello Bueno and co-guidance/supervision of Liliana María Sánchez Mazo (Medellín-Colombia).

Teaching in the City of Teresina

2024-03-11T22:15:05-03:00

O objetivo deste livro é colaborar para ensinar você sobre a cidade de Teresina. Nossa intenção é mostrar que existe uma forma alternativa de ensinar uma cidade de convivência aos alunos e ao mesmo tempo, ajudar os professores em seus meios didáticos, que poderão utilizar dois princípios de raciocínio geográfico. Tenho em mente que, ao lidarmos com as desigualdades socioespaciais da cidade de Teresina, é possível estabelecer conexões geográficas com outras cidades.

School Geographic Atlas - São José do Seridó

2024-03-12T22:03:59-03:00

The main objective of the School Geographic Atlas is to encourage the teaching of Geography in classes from the 6th to the 7th years of Elementary School. There are several maps, images, graphs, tables, explanatory texts and pedagogical suggestions to make it easier for students to get closer to the place where they live. In this way, through the use of this product in Geography classes, we aim to awaken the individual and collective interest of the students in question, as it is the “Place” of each subject’s daily experience and their relationship with other places in the “World”. By contemplating the pages of the atlas, it will be possible for the student to understand the relationships that São José do Seridó, as a specific place, has with other places in the world, without having to lose its particular characteristics.

Manifestations of sexual diversity in Sobral/CE

2023-12-08T09:51:39-03:00

In the writing of History, the interests, actions and rights of a minority group in a society are relegated to the background or even to the skeleton. This is more of a field of power dispute, in which the groups that hold hegemony impose their visions of the world and, consequently, normalize their conceptions and preconceptions.
To know a city, we must understand it in its fullness. And to understand the cultural construction of Sobral, it is necessary to identify each of its expressions.
The materiality, like the historical construction of a city like Sobral-CE, occurs collectively, with the contribution of each group that prints its traces, that lives in its own way.
In the case of the LGBTQIA+ community, whose cultural expressions are studied in this work, more than a mere record, but a way to mark positions and empower voices.

Caatinga Biome

2023-11-22T09:01:46-03:00

Considered a biome that is still little explored in the production of teaching materials, the Caatinga presents a high potential for its contextualization associated with the educational knowledge of Basic Education, especially with regard to the teaching of physical-natural themes. Thinking about an approach with a local focus, the work “Bioma Caatinga: a look at the territorial section of Patos/PB” is the result of the completion of the Professional Master's Course in Geography (GEOPROF) by the first author, at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul. North (UFRN). The perspective is that this material works as an incentive to teach the topic in different curricular components, and can be used as a complement to the content present in the textbook, or as another teaching resource available in the municipality. The material produced is based on the need to contribute to the construction of knowledge regarding the Caatinga biome, in the general context, and specifically in the territorial area of Patos/PB, as well as stimulating the production of other teaching materials with local and regional themes that facilitate teaching and learning.

Curriculum and teaching of geography

2024-02-02T18:43:34-03:00

The book Curriculum and Teaching of Geography is a product of the Grupo de Estudos e Pesquisas sobre Curriculo, Ensino e Formação de Professores de Geografía (GECEF). It brings together the intellectual efforts of researchers who draw different contributions and points of view on the curriculum, or the teaching and training of Geography teachers. The work was organized by professors Cláudia do Carmo Rosa, Lucineide Mendes Pires and Mugiany Oliveira Brito Portela. This is an opportune and necessary reading to discuss current questões sobre a BNCC, o Novo Ensino Médio, as Diretrizes Curriculares, a formação, a prática e autonomia teaching, besides other debates encouraged and constructed without collective effort.

Proceedings of the II National Seminar on Geographic Education

2023-11-27T17:32:55-03:00

These ANNALs bring together texts debated in the dialogue axes and groups that received complete works in the Academic Research and Educational Experience Reports modalities. Accepted Academic Research consists of research in the area of Geography Teaching and Geography Teacher Training carried out at undergraduate level (TCC, IC, PIBID, Pedagogical Residency, Extension Projects, among others), postgraduate level (at specialization, master's and doctorate degrees), individual projects by university teachers and research carried out by Basic Education teachers. The Educational Experience Reports consisted of reports of experiences in the form of academic texts resulting from experiences carried out in basic education and/or higher education and aimed to share teaching, research and extension practices in formal and non-formal environments of education. In this way, this scientific production has fundamental importance in the contribution and advancement of research in the area of Geography teaching in contemporary times, since the themes of the axes sought to contemplate the most recent issues addressed within the scope of geographic science and school geography. This scientific production also dialogues with a perspective of internationalization and, at the same time, with the vast scientific production that PROPGEO has been seeking to consolidate.

Small stock of ideas

“Football in the metropolis was just like inland, money doesn't change the rules and cheating. The adults went on and on about the shots, comparing them to their playing times. 'Look, in my day, I didn't play like that...', while the little ones measured the quality of the teams with the positions in the table and with a score of a game that they didn't even remember anymore. A dirt field became a court, flip flops became cleats and goalkeeper gloves, strong kicks were prohibited, nobody wanted to play ball boy and go get a ball in the middle of the woods and under a car. An important game was on synthetic grass and fences, a wall that looked recently painted, Municipal Court Toledo Neves. Toledo was the mayor's name, the court was close to his house.”

“Bernardo was disappointed instead of stressed, he understood the problem and blamed his own foolishness. Those tulips would always smile, demonstrate their best version, let it rain knives, metaphorically or literally, the colors would be as vivid as last week, the others would always wonder about the source of such optimism. Perhaps it was perseverance, perhaps they had such a tragic past that they learned to endure hardships and thus, unable to wither. Bernardo learned why.

Manifesto of the defeated (1713-1920)

2023-06-05T18:47:47-03:00

“Manifesto of the Vanquished” is not a declaration of defeat. Quite the contrary, it is a manifestation that these are more alive than ever, either literally or metaphorically. The task of producing a work of such importance was the responsibility of my friend Jameli Oliveira. The author is not a historian by training, but writes to fill in gaps.

Creative processes in geographical and pedagogical installations

2023-08-08T15:12:39-03:00

How to provide students with formative experiences that enable learning and development? This issue has mobilized society in general for a long time and has demanded that educators, managers and researchers propose methodologies that can encourage the involvement of new generations in this process. It is in an attempt to find ways that the methodology of Geographic Installations was created and, in this search, experiments were carried out at different levels of education (elementary and higher) and in different areas of knowledge, which led to the idea that Installations were no longer restricted to the field of Geography, and yes, as Pedagogical Facilities. But what innovation can the reader find in this proposal? By combining creativity and imagination with disciplinary contents, the methodology allows for a broadening of the training experience that takes place in the school and extra-school space. By working on perception, rationality and affectivity through signs and symbols in the face of the association process, it is possible to mobilize and sensitize children, young people and adults to an immersion in which the body, sensitivity and mind seek solutions to the issues proposals, developing creativity and criticality. Therefore, we invite teachers, researchers and everyone who is interested in promoting an emancipatory education to delve into this work produced with the aim of contributing to improving education.

heritage treasures

2023-06-07T14:54:30-03:00

This book is a reflection of the authors, researchers and discoverers of the paleontological heritage of the northwest region of Ceará and champions of its scientific, social and economic importance. The content seeks to bring together the accumulated knowledge of this experience to help lay people and beginners to delve a little deeper into the important theme of heritage conservation.

At first, the legal aspects involving fossils in Brazil and the possibilities of protecting this geodiversity heritage are presented, involving Education, Culture and Tourism actions. Then, a review is made on the paleontological record of Ceará and the emphasis on the northwest of the State.

Garden of Padim Ciço

2023-06-05T18:14:03-03:00

Taking different paths to get to Horto do Padre Cícero, this book presents a set of paths that combine to tell a story of devotion and enchantment, full of nuances that only those who exhaust investigative possibilities can offer. Transiting between aspects demarcated by different points of view, the chapters are presented as steps on a ladder, making us understand in detail and scope the various dimensions that make the sacred space comprehensible.

Using various methodological and documental resources for her writing, like a good historian, Fátima Pinho transits from the ancestral ritualistic garden, a refuge island of ancient and last waters, to the Horto do Padre Cícero, conceived in the light of an imagined geography of the scriptures and, still, the garden resulting from tourist appropriations, which is defined in the destruction of vestiges of what can be understood as “fanatical and outdated religiosity”. Uses, resistances, political, cultural and economic appropriations derive from the set of places that are designed in the same space. It ends in the meaning of the Horto for devotees and residents defined in the intimacy with the space and the processes of transformations that they witnessed over time.

Doing science in the backlands

2023-08-09T16:08:29-03:00

Doing science in the sertões: experiences and idealizations in Seridó is a book resulting from a set of actions carried out by the Graduate Program in History of the Higher Education Center of Seridó (CERES) of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (PPGHC-UFRN ) with a view to contributing to scientific dissemination in the semi-arid region, based on the investigations carried out within the scope of the Master's Course in History of the Sertões. It is a direct result of the first stage of the actions of the Sertões em focus: History and Scientific Education project, originally approved in Public Notice 03/2020, of the Research Support Foundation of the State of Rio Grande do Norte (FAPERN) - call for Postgraduate Programs Emerging and consolidating Undergraduate Programs (PPGs) in Rio Grande do Norte to participate in FAPERN's Postgraduate Development Plan. After approval, it became part of the set of projects linked to Notice nº 14/2021-FAPERN - support for graduate programs for the scientific development of Rio Grande do Norte, with an emphasis on scientific education, renewable energies and Covid-19 and other health problems, with resources from the State Government, thus composing the FAPERN Graduate Development Plan (2021-2025). The Sertões in focus project: History and Scientific Education has the premise of filling needs, with regard to the actions of dissemination of scientific knowledge carried out by the PPGHC-UFRN. The program mobilizes an area of concentration around the thematic domain of the History of the Sertões. We thus reinforce the specificity and innovation of this area of concentration, since it is the first in Brazil to be explicitly dedicated to the field of History of the Sertões as an investigative domain. The project proposal, therefore, converges to the priority area of Science Education, a field of science that has been dedicated to the task of sharing information related to the production of scientific knowledge with individuals who are not, traditionally, considered as part of the university community, for example.

Aggressiveness in detainees and soccer practice

2023-06-05T17:08:41-03:00

The realization of this research permeated several challenges, from the choice of theme, through the scarcity of literature that dealt with the relationship between aggressiveness in detainees and soccer practice, to the performance of data collection and analysis.

According to the results of the present investigation, both aggressiveness in general and each of its investigated dimensions (instrumental, emotional and cognitive) have a lower average level in the group of detainees who play soccer, when compared to the group of detainees who do not. soccer practitioners. With this research, we hope to contribute to the advancement of educational sciences, while recognizing the mobility that is imposed on the results obtained in an investigative work.

atlas of risks

2023-06-02T15:37:05-03:00

This Atlas is the product of a project entitled Risks, vulnerabilities and hydroclimatic disasters in the State of Paraíba: subsidies for planning and management of territories, started in February 2019 and concluded in February 2023, being funded through the Universal Call MCTI/CNPq 2018. The main objective of the project was to identify the Risk Index of Flood Disasters (IRDI) and Climate Disasters (IRDC) for the state of Paraíba, as well as detailing the social vulnerability of specific municipalities (study at census level ) and the construction of practices in Education for Disaster Risk Reduction (ERRD).

The Atlas gathers some of the thematic mappings elaborated for the project, considering the 223 municipalities, presenting them through a descriptive text and graphics that emphasize the variables analyzed for the context of Paraíba, with a focus on the Pluviometrically Homogeneous Regions.

Homeless people in Brazil

2023-08-09T10:38:29-03:00

It may not seem like it, but subjecting millions of people to sub-human conditions of existence in plain sight is easier than you might think. Not that some ultra-modern camouflage technology has been invented or a new drug that makes everyone blind to social inequality being managed through water, food or air. The secret of the trick is much simpler, but no less cruel. It is enough for these millions to be left on the streets, outside the formal consumption circuit, for them to stop being seen as human beings and become mere disposable objects of our society. In our current society, it is easier to avoid hungry people asking for food on a sidewalk than an open manhole or a garbage collection point, because while these people are invisible, the structural problems cause a selective revolt and indignant posts on social networks. . After all, it's easier to ignore them than to seek to understand what led them to that situation and try to help them in some way. The manhole and the garbage, just put a little pressure on the authorities, they temporarily cease to be problems. This work not only exposes, but puts a finger on our social wound. These are recent data on the situation of homeless people in Brazil, who are often left to their own devices (or bad luck) by almost all of society (almost all of them because, fortunately, there are still initiatives from people who have decided to stop looking away). They are harsh reports of those who, if it weren't for some specific projects, would not have access to the basics to feel human. These are people who don't have a roof over their heads on rainy nights, don't have a place to take a shower, don't have food for days on end, don't even have access to water to quench their thirst. At the same time that we fail to see these people, we hide our own humanity.

Education in the city of Teresina

2023-08-10T15:17:41-03:00

The presentation of proposals for teaching Geography about the city of Teresina consists of an initial step towards a more detailed concept of approaches to the city and the daily lives of the people who live in it. The intention is, above all, to show that there is an alternative way to teach the city of Teresina, in a more critical and active way. As a precaution, the proposals aim to contribute to the training of teachers (initial and continuing), in the expectation that they reflect and make the necessary adjustments to their realities. In this way, the referred book presents different discussions with themes that are present in the Basic Education curricula, such as the teaching of Geography, Biology and History, from a perspective turned to the city of Teresina (Piauí).

Republican Pages

2023-08-08T12:45:54-03:00

Organizing a book is always a possibility to gather articles around a common theme. Brazilian historiography is rich in examples of efforts of this nature, where large editorial projects are organized not only to provide an overview of the research carried out by various researchers on diverse themes, not only of a revisionist nature, but also an opportunity to add multiple syntheses aiming to broaden the readership in an effort to popularize History, in the good sense of the term, notably among high school teachers and students.

From our podium, whenever we reach the eighth period of the History course, we teach the subject of History of Brazil III (Republic) and try to find out what subjects and themes students are developing as Course Completion Works (TCC's). In the vast majority of cases, the objects of study have a foot in the republican period, temporally and spatially, and focusing on themes related to local history.

Teacher training and educational practices in different training contexts

2023-10-10T22:28:22-03:00

This book, Teacher Training and Educational Practices in different training contexts, becomes imperative and innovative as it presents results of studies and research by graduates, students and researchers of the Professional Master's in Education at the Regional University of Cariri. The experiences presented here bring with them different professional training contexts, in tune with collective discussions in the face of numerous current challenges, in order to present perspectives on teacher training and Educational Practices for a critical, conscious, creative and responsible praxis.

This discussion presents itself as emergency due to the socio-historical, political and cultural issues that have accompanied the development of these research fields in Brazil. When problematized in this book, teacher training and educational practices are discussed in order to contribute to overcoming the challenges that have involved the construction of an inclusive, autonomous, collaborative and quality education.

The book is divided into four parts, these being research and teacher training; education for cultural heritage and ethical-racial relations; teaching and its methodologies and education, school and inclusion in different contexts. We hope that the reflections presented here can contribute to the redefinition of educational practices and to the enhancement of the debate on the themes that the book proposes to discuss, and with this, strengthen the existing production in the area.

This book indicates paths and evokes the challenges for the SUS, in rescue of science, the loving affection of care relationships and, mainly, the universality, completeness and equity of health care. The actions of the clinic, care and health management recognize in promotion, prevention, assistance and rehabilitation actions in Covid-19 and at all times that “there is so much life out there”. And, therefore, it is indicated that the arrangements and models proposed for the SUS, involve subjects, citizens and people in their diverse, complex and significant lives; in its singularities and in the plurality of human living in the sustainable world.

Dialogues on Brazilian Geomorphology

2023-05-10T20:06:03-03:00

It's amazing how each new book published by the Scientific Territory series has the renewed ability to excite us. And we are not only excited by bringing together in a few hundred pages the trajectories of some of the greatest exponents of each scientific area, who offer us the opportunity to learn from their professional experiences, but who also confide some of their dramas, difficulties, choices, discoveries , conquests, in short, the men and women behind the numerous obligatory references with which every young student has contact throughout their academic training.

In this fourth edition of the series, the trajectories of twelve of the biggest names linked to Brazilian geomorphological research were gathered: Antonio Jeovah de Andrade Meireles, from UFC; Antonio José Teixeira Guerra, from UFRJ; Antonio Carlos Barros Correa, from UFPE; Dirce Maria Suertegaray, from UFRGS/UFPB; Rubson Pinheiro Maia, from UFC; Laryssa Sheydder de Oliveira Lopes, from IF-Maranhão; Ana Luiza Coelho Netto, from UFRJ; Jurandyr Luciano Sanches Ross, from USP; Vanda de Claudino-Sales, from UFC/UVA; Archimedes Perez Filho, from UNICAMP; Selma Simões de Castro, from USP; and Antonio Pereira Magalhães Junior, from UFMG.

Sebastião and his adventures in the construction of Brasilia

2023-05-29T16:03:18-03:00

It is possible to talk about the life trajectory of any person based on keywords. Among the keywords most highlights of Sebastião Severo Frota, we can choose one: construction. Still young, Sobralense was one of the thousands of workers who poured sweat and blood into the foundations what would become the capital of Brazil. The search for a better life, for adventure, for the construction of a more dignified, took Sebastião, his brother and friends to go to the heart of the country, without even knowing what was waiting for them. Many ended their days in the Midwestern heat Brazilians, whether victims of accidents at work, modern slavery, violence employed by large landowners, in short, did not find the better life promised by the numerous government advertisements. But when (re)building his memoirs about that chapter in his history (and the history of Brazil), Sebastião, at the age of 99, still shows an excellent builder. Every wall of your narrative is based on strong foundations of clear knowledge of history, but not the one you learn from books, but the one that lives.

Political History of Camocim

2023-06-01T16:10:49-03:00

Camocim, prosperous and beautiful city in the north of Ceará, gains, through the talented pen of one of its most illustrious sons, a remarkable work. Carlos Augusto Pereira dos Santos, one of the most talented historians of our academy, managed to produce a book that, despite the didactic purposes for which it is proposed, goes much further. The ease with which the text is written, the enormous range of information brought and the wealth of images allow the general public to access an essential production for those who want to know Camocim and — why not? —, other aspects of politics in Ceará and Brazil in the 19th and 20th centuries.

This type of production is not always so easy to find, since, unfortunately, we still suffer from several obstacles in the production of what is called “local history”, such as the lack of archives, poor conservation of sources and the lack of greater support and research resources. This “local history”, it should be noted, was the target, for a long time, of a certain prejudice, as if it were something minor. In fact, everything is history. The “local”, if well worked in a research, allows us to better see peculiarities that escape the more general look. If macro analyzes allow us to understand what is happening in regions such as Camocim, this, in turn, broadens and contributes to the understanding of broader processes, such as the importance of the port and the city's railroad to think about Ceará's economy and the movement of workers in their struggles for better living conditions.

Teaching with public history:

2023-10-02T22:20:50-03:00

In recent years, debates around public history have become one of the most sought after topics among historians, teachers and professionals in related areas who have come to realize the strong presence of demands and historical narratives in our public scene. At a time marked by diverse denialism, especially on historical topics, reflection on the public dimensions of history has assumed a fundamental role in our days.

What the texts presented in this work demonstrate is the need to go beyond the historiographical and discover the historical in the public space. If the former continues to be a fundamental tool for reflection, the latter places the History professional's practice in the real world, where life reinvents itself every day.

Affections - Affective school and education

2023-07-31T09:28:49-03:00

Considering how much the school contributes to making its members more kind, solidary, cooperative, kind, autonomous, empathetic, emotionally stable and tolerant people should increasingly be a criterion for the efficiency of education and the school and not just the metric of how many students annually pass the National High School Examination (Enem) tests and entrance exams or other evaluation proposals that rank students and schools.

Teaching History, arts of making

2023-09-29T12:09:20-03:00

The authors present here had to teach, learn, research and write history in times of pandemic. The climate of insecurity generated by the suspension of classes, due to the New Corona Virus of COVID-19, at the beginning of 2020, and the gradual resumption from mid-2021, made it difficult for these teachers to carry out their tasks, at the same time. students of the ProfHistory disciplines at URCA. They are professionals who reinvented themselves in learning spaces that oscillate between in-person and virtual, while having to experience research, produce, write and recreate their daily work. Teacher-researchers-students who made and make things happen based on and with the challenges of their teaching knowledge and school historical knowledge raised in basic education schools.

Our purpose, authors, organizers and scientific committee, with this book, the result of the dissertations of master's and master's students from ProfHistória URCA, is to incite/strengthen debate between students and history teachers, whether from higher education or basic education, about teaching practices and student experiences for teaching and learning in History.

History of geography teaching in school groups in Rio Grande do Sul North (1908 -1931)

2023-06-01T16:48:14-03:00

Much has been written about the Sertão.

From the trails of Guimarães Rosa (1956) to the recent studies resulting from the Master's Degree in History of the Sertões (MHIST/ CERES-UFRN), this space for the formation of culture, a way of life and historiographic production has enchanted many, and its modus operandi aroused interest and provoked the study of its facts and events.

The way of organizing life itself, marked by resistance to the challenges of the everyday life of the sertanejo and nature, is one of the many references that characterize man and the history of the places that make up this space.

A space that constitutes an ambience of experience, where not only is it possible to identify a characteristic type of culture and social construction, but it is also possible to identify the archetype of a way of thinking and building history, which is written in the present and observed in the everyday life of cities and fields that mutate and enchant in the presence of the rainy season. Just like the caatinga that awakens in green, life awakens in joy.

When talking about the history of teaching geography in school groups in Rio Grande do Norte, the author convinces us that the History of Education in Brazil is also built in the hinterland.

Tales from the Land of Light between the past and the future

2023-10-11T22:11:00-03:00

Tales from the land of light: between the past and the future is an exercise in bold writing about the space of time and the time of space, it is the intersection of experiences, capillaries and sensibilities embodied in the literary text.

On the backcountry trails:

2023-10-06T21:27:40-03:00

What will the place be like when no one passes by? – asks the poet. Could it be that “Are there things unseen?” And can the world, the big world, as he wrote, exist “only through the gaze that creates and gives it spatiality?” The poet seems to want to tell us that “What we see is worth – lives – only because of what looks at us”,1 that seeing is experiencing being seen, that being seen is existing, and even though there is a “split that separates within us the that we see from what looks at us”,2 things, events only exist to the extent of our presence, our visual power, our body that takes up and embodies space, time and generates existence and resistance, presence and absence , the before and after, the loss and the insistence.

Ludwig Feuerbach

2023-08-15T16:23:14-03:00

“Returning to Feuerbach: this is the imperative that guides the production of the book that we now make available for public debate. The objective of proposing this return is based on a double root, which also justifies the choice of the title of this work: on the certainty that, due to a duty of honesty, there is still much to unravel from Feuerbach's thought and, hence, on the proposal to offer other dialogues with Feuerbach, perhaps less evident than one might expect. [...] [The] thematic multiplicity of issues and the polyphony resulting from the dialogues [...] highlighted [in this work] little (or almost never) are duly deepened in the perspectives of those who see Feuerbach more through the eyes of his critics than by himself. It can be safely concluded that going beyond the surface and the jargon consolidated by the audacity of reading Feuerbach's production is allowing yourself to refuse the commonplaces to find yourself in trouble for the unsaid and for the density of the new in an author supposedly outdated. It is necessary to return to Feuerbach for himself and perhaps we will be better at understanding ourselves and what surrounds us. And it is no less than this that we expect.”

The Game of Powers

2023-05-29T17:58:25-03:00

What makes Fernando Collor's impeachment processes different de Mello and Dilma Rousseff? Can both processes be seen as examples of judicial exemption or were they somehow tainted by political interests? There is nothing better than the commitment of a young and competent researcher to seek such answers. In her first book, Sara Alves Magalhães deals with complex themes, but always with the concern of make them understandable to your readers.

GEODOC Publications

2023-08-10T11:56:00-03:00

The book GEODOC PUBLICATIONS: EGAL 2021 is the result of research carried out by members of the Geography, Teaching and Curriculum Research Group, which, based on different thematic fronts of geographic science, seek to bring up discussions and theoretical deepening of current relevant issues. It is convenient to highlight that this work was developed at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic in Brazil, therefore, it represents the resistance to the confrontation and devaluation of science, because, in the face of so many difficulties, the researchers found courage to write and participate in the academic events, which at the time took place on the zoom, meet and live platforms.

Mother of the House and other memoirs

2023-06-01T11:36:33-03:00

A memoir. These are memories that disturb us and need to be written for posterity.

This book is made up of my grandmother's stories. Stories that were marked in my life and examples of kindness, religiosity, love and affection. I could not fail to include my aunts, my uncle and my father. They and they pass a model of strength and character. They are warriors, wives, dedicated mothers and, above all, they fight for what they want. They, my uncle Chico, in addition to being picturesque, had a comic vein; my father, Manoel João, a philosopher of life.

Studies in geotechnology

2023-08-10T18:06:30-03:00

Society and geographic space in Brazil, since the 1970s, are reproduced and constituted, in an accelerated way, by technological mediations, scientific knowledge and the information necessary for knowledge of the world, organization and functioning of things .

With the advent of the period and the technical-scientific-information environment, especially the advances in geotechnologies, brought several innovations, generating, at the same time, a series of human and social, academic, political and economic demands for georeferenced data and information, associated to the accelerated growth of the modifications that permeate the geographic space, object of study of Geography.

the that lies between the lines of life

2023-05-25T16:54:03-03:00

And here I am again, for the fourth time, writing a presentation. This is a book composed of texts and poems that contain the reality of everyday life, the events of life and everything that surrounds us, so many moments sad as the happy and everything that is part of our life. In it I wrote things of living exactly as they are and as I see, always waiting for a happy ending. It's called: "What lies between the lines of life”, because there is always something we talk about for various reasons, or because we need to omit, due to forgetfulness, or simply because there was not enough time to say everything. The right is that there is always something. What if we were looking for what's left? What could we talk about, write, think and say? In the book “What stays between the lines of life” I wrote texts with important family stories pasts in life, as there are also poems of what the heart feels and that are transformed into beautiful poems

Personal trajectories in (audio)visual anthropology in Brazil. Volume 1

2023-08-05T10:38:06-03:00

The year 2022 continues to present us with the fruits of the Scientific Territory project. We have now arrived at the third volume, Personal Trajectories in (Audio)Visual Anthropology in Brazil, in fact, the first book in a series of three, featuring some of the biggest names in Brazilian (Audio)Visual Anthropology.
It is possible to learn a lot from great masters. With the masters gathered in this book, we learn that a trajectory is not a lonely path, that Anthropology is not just made of text, it is visual, it is the art of listening, it is a way of getting closer to the world, of becoming protagonists of the our own history, that there is no Anthropology that does not dialogue with other areas. We also learn that if we act as if we were always enchanted, we will be able to perceive that the representation is full of affection, that generosity, solidarity and dreams exist. And we can get to know each other together, and we can learn that images refuse to say what they think, because they think differently.

a theory of religion in Jürgen Habermas

2023-06-01T10:26:28-03:00

The twentieth century was strongly marked by the phenomenon of secularization, however, it ended with a renewed interest in religion, which extends to the current century. The debate on the presence of religion in the public sphere takes into account the implications of the secularization process and the intention of privatizing religion as a further development of this process. Thinking religion beyond secularism and the role it plays in post-metaphysical society still remains an open issue, with many interpreters and significant contributions from thinkers of the stature, for example, Jürgen Habermas. It is for this purpose that the work “A Theory of Religion in Jürgen Habermas”, by Flávio Telles Melo, reaches the knowledge of the general public, raising him to the status of interpreter of Habermasian thought in the Brazilian scenario. Further deepening and reflections will be possible with the reading of the aforementioned, and it is not appropriate here to present the themes addressed by the author.

Geographical Scenarios of the North and Northeast in Debate

2023-08-01T11:05:15-03:00

When a work enables the encounter of experienced researchers whose contribution to geographic science is unquestionable, it could not be less than a reference for the productions that will follow. This is the case of Cenários Geográficas do Norte e Nordeste em Debate, a book that presents concepts and methodologies applied to the regional interpretation of the North and Northeast of Brazil. SertãoCult is honored to present another fundamental work for all those who are interested in Geography built in a serious, conscious, engaged and coherent way, something fundamental for us to continue facing and, who knows, one day, we will overcome the challenges that impose on our society.

José de Alencar in Cena

2023-08-14T16:07:46-03:00

When I was invited to preface the work that is now before us, I couldn't help but remember my conversations with the great Sergipe poet Hunald Fontes de Alencar. Alencar was already in the last years of his life, and every time I visited Aracaju I tried to find him somehow. Unfortunately, there were not as many times as I would have liked, but, in those liquid times that Zygmunt Bauman announced to us a few years ago, I am sure that a fast and strong friendship developed between us. When we first met, Hunald had just finished writing one of his last texts before leaving us forever. A text for theater in honor of the American singer Billie Holiday. It was only after her death, in 2016, that we could see the dream of this heart and soul native of Aracaju come true: Billie Holiday – A Canção was finally assembled and was a huge success with the public.

TOTAL ECLIPSE

2023-05-31T15:15:09-03:00

A love story between the sun and the moon, which occupy their places in the sky at diametrically opposite times, may seem impossible. But what is impossible for love? This could be just another common love story, were it not for its nuances worthy of one of the most beautiful scripts, possible only in real life. There are no clichés here, or at least not the usual plot twists, but the search for the realization of a love that overcame real obstacles with its magic.

Just as the Sun and Moon managed to stay together through the eclipse, this family was born from a rare meeting of two souls that connected. And like all love, it wants to be shared, so, dear reader, feel invited to discover this story so well illustrated by the art of poetry woven and painted by the authors.

Food Quality and Safety Management II

2023-09-13T16:22:23-03:00

This book brings the results of scientific studies developed between 2019 and 2021 by students of the Specialization in Quality Management and Food Safety at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Ceará - Campus Sobral. The research described in this book resulted from course completion work and addresses issues related to stock control, production and quality in food producing/industrializing establishments, research related to the fish area, nutritional assessment and analysis of remaining intake. Therefore, this volume brings a mix of subjects from the area of Food Science and Technology that will help professional readers and students to delve deeper into this area.

Safe Food

2023-05-31T15:55:47-03:00

In a country that has once again registered more than 100 million people in a situation of food insecurity, that is, who have no guarantee of basic food for their survival, it is essential that we pay attention to the issue. Just to name a few impacts that an inadequate diet can generate, the health and education of children are compromised, that is, deficiencies at this stage have repercussions throughout their lives and, consequently, in the future of Brazil.

Therefore, we encourage and guide our children to learn about ways to seek safe and healthy food. For this, this work was developed, in comic book format, in a playful, didactic and simple way, with the objective of providing our children and adolescents with important information, in an effort to multiply knowledge and attitudes that, even apparently simple, can make a difference in their lives and those close to them.

Trajectories of researchers and studies of medium-sized cities in perspective

2023-10-05T11:29:56-03:00

What was born as an attempt to bring together researchers from different areas, to mobilize members of SertãoCult's Editorial Board in the preparation of material that expressed the publisher's ability to produce works with technical quality and academic relevance, soon became a success in its first edition.

After the launch of the volume Diálogos sobre a Ditadura, which brought together some of the greatest researchers on the subject in Brazil, the Scientific Territory series reaches its second volume prepared from a partnership with professionals, mostly from the Network of Researchers on Medium Cities (ReCiMe) who participated in the Study Group - Theoretical and methodological approaches in the studies of medium and small cities, organized by the Study and Research Group in Urban and Regional Planning - GEPPUR and the Urban and Regional Studies Laboratory - LEURB/UVA in the year 2020. Here is the work “Trajectories of researchers and studies of medium-sized cities in perspective”.

It is gratifying to conclude yet another contribution to the scientific community, presenting the trajectories of some of the greatest references in Brazilian Urban Geography, who in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic became so physically distant, but never so close, united through technology, which allowed the exchange of experiences with colleagues from different regions of the country.

GOOD PRIMER FOOD PRACTICES FOR MANIPULATORS HOUSEHOLDS

2023-10-03T21:28:19-03:00

We pass on knowledge through stories told, written, videos and recipe books. Human nutrition uses them to pass on ingredients, preparations, substitutions, souvenirs and curiosities, always recording and passing on. The university uses these recipes and their stories to experiment, test and, as a result, standardize the safest method for health. With booklets like this, the university aims to return information to society in a clear and objective way. Terms such as food handler, cross-contamination, hygiene, storage and temperature control are not easy to understand when read for the first time and can be frightening. Here in the Booklet of good food practices for home handlers they are explained to students, lunch ladies, housewives and curious people who work with food. After reading, you will know that good manufacturing practices are advantageous for everyone involved in some way in the journey that food takes from production in the field, transportation, handlers, the main focus of the booklet, until it reaches the consumer, who savors this whole story.

Urban-environmental dynamics and teacher training in the geographic space of Piauí

2023-08-08T14:11:46-03:00

The book Geography in debate, v. 5, brought together a series of articles in which the various concepts, phenomena, events and strategies were discussed and related to regional and geoenvironmental studies, as well as to the teaching of geography. Thus, the reading of this work allows the interested person the opportunity to learn about geoenvironmental aspects and geographic practices with a more accessible and dynamic language.

Understanding the teaching of Geography and an environmental dynamic aimed at understanding the relationships between nature and society can be analyzed using the elements that make up the geographic landscape and their interrelationships, making it essential to present works of reflections , research, dialogues, studies and everyday practices that encompass academic production.

Nature and Society

2023-08-07T08:57:53-03:00

The Graduate Program in Geography (PPGGEO) of the Federal University of Piauí proudly presents volume 4 of the Geography in Debate series. This work, focused on research that falls under the theme of nature and society, under multiple geographic perspectives, brings 6 chapters originating from research carried out by students and professors linked to the Program. More than an overview of these surveys, the series contributes with subsidies for a more well-founded discussion both on Piauí's natural and socio-environmental riches, as well as socio-environmental issues in which the man-nature relationship manifests itself and requires analysis and solutions.

Geography in the environmental management of rural/urban territory and tourism

2023-08-09T11:26:18-03:00

The Graduate Program in Geography (PPGGEO) of the Federal University of Piauí proudly presents volume 6 of the Geography in Debate series. This work, focused on research that falls within the theme of environmental management of rural/urban territory and tourism, has 9 chapters originating from research carried out by students and professors linked to the Program. More than an overview of this research, the series contributes with subsidies for a better-founded discussion that highlights the singularities of the Piauí landscapes, the places and their daily lives, the problems and contradictions of the territories and the emerging territorialities.

On the margins:

2023-10-04T14:53:15-03:00

For a long time, poetry was remembered as an art appropriated and monopolized by the economically and socially dominant classes, often used as a mere exercise in dilettantism. However, it is forgotten that even in these moments, poetry remained a phenomenon of popular resistance, whether in the verses of cordels or in popular declamations. And if poetry in Portuguese, especially Brazilian, has established itself on the world stage with big names in the most diverse currents, a new wave of poets has been gaining prominence with their verses created to be recited, and not just written. The metric is no longer the focus to the detriment of the message, which is not intended to merely entertain, but to scratch the public's eardrums, denouncing what is happening in the small alleys of the Brazilian outskirts. This book shows more than the talent of its authors, it brings denunciations in the form of verses, protests in the form of art. This is slam, a form of expression of the anxieties that hurt our society, in general, and our youth, in particular.

Urban and environmental dynamics, social representations and teaching practices

2023-08-03T14:42:53-03:00

The Graduate Program in Geography (PPGGEO) at the Federal University of Piauí proudly presents volume 3 of the Geography in Debate series. This work, focused on research that falls within the theme of urban and environmental dynamics, as well as social representations and teaching practices, features 10 chapters originating from research carried out by students and professors linked to the Program. More than an overview of this research, the series contributes with subsidies for a better-founded discussion on the different interpretations of transformations in the urban and natural environment. It also discusses the experiences and feelings of belonging to space, giving meaning to the concept of geographic place. It also addresses the social representations of spatial aspects, the problem of the textbook and the role that the Geography teacher can and should play in the formation of citizens aware of such challenges.

Congratulations to the organizers and authors who deserve praise for accepting this challenge and admirably achieving their goals.

May you all have a good reading!

Education for safe care:

2023-10-09T19:50:47-03:00

Around 1999, through the Report “To Err is Human”, published in the United States, concern with what we call Patient Safety emerged and developed.

It is therefore necessary to develop energetic actions and strong attitudes in order to sensitize students to be agents who disseminate practices based on the search for maximum safety in teaching-learning environments, from basic health to the highest level of health care. .

In this context, the Regional University of Cariri, through the Undergraduate Nursing Course, of the Decentralized Unit of Iguatu, developed the Extension Project “Education for Safe Care”, a pioneering and differentiated initiative, which has its strategies duly explained and detailed, one by one, in each chapter, serving, in particular, as an inspiration for harm-free health practices to be increasingly common.

ERRD PB

2023-07-28T18:11:05-03:00

The main goal of the ERRD PB Course is to promote strategies for the promotion and expansion of culture in ERRD in the state of Paraíba, through dialogic interaction/mediation with educators working in high school in public schools located in municipalities Paraíba with a high degree of risk of environmental disasters. In view of this, the content of this issue is introductory to the ERRD PB Course and aims to contextualize the theme in view of the risks of environmental disasters. Among the main environmental and socioeconomic problems in Paraíba, here called socioenvironmental problems, the significant number of records of environmental disasters stands out.

The state of Paraíba has 77.1% of its territory inserted in the semi-arid region, with a predisposition of the natural environment to the occurrence of extreme weather events, in particular, those arising from negative precipitation anomalies (PARAÍBA, 2018).

According to official data from the National Secretariat for Protection and Civil Defense, Paraíba stands out in the national and regional ranking for registering a significant number of recognitions of environmental disasters, predominantly climate disasters (drought and drought) and hydrometeorological disasters (floods), which we call of hydroclimatic disasters. It was these records, in addition to others, that motivated the realization of the ERRD PB Course.

So teacher, we believe that your participation in the mitigation/management of this socio-environmental problem, together with your students and your school community, or rather, from your mediation as an educator, you can play a role transforming this reality.

That together we can break with the rationality imprinted in the response/recovery of environmental disasters (focus on disasters), so that we can advance in expanding a culture of disaster risk management (focus on risk management), that is, in promoting a culture in ERRD!

From head to toe

2023-05-31T10:59:42-03:00

For decades, the cangaceiro has populated the collective imagination. Although some see him as a hero, others as a bandit, there is a consensus when we ask anyone to describe the appearance of a cangaceiro, a key element of Northeastern culture, the object of countless studies, writings and the most diverse artistic representations. The popular imagination solidified a certain aesthetic, unmistakable and inseparable semiotic elements of figures such as Lampião, Corisco and Dadá.

In the midst of a vast universe of productions about cangaço, it is difficult to imagine any bias that has not yet been addressed. And that is exactly what Luciano Bonfim does, who brilliantly embarks on a hitherto unexplored path, something that for a less competent researcher could lead to a mere exercise in academic dilettantism. In the case of this book, we are gifted with a very pleasant text and permeated by profound reflections based on a vast theoretical-methodological knowledge.

From head to toe: the aesthetics of cangaço leads us to think about cangaceiros beyond traditional dichotomy and Manichaeism. We can see that there was a whole imagery construction promoted by the cangaceiros themselves, who competently adapted fashion, music, dance and other artistic elements at their disposal to a reality of deprivation, maintaining the aesthetics without losing the utilitarian character.

PROTAGONISM AND YOUTH:

2023-10-20T12:47:14-03:00

University extension is constitutional and brings as a principle the inseparability between teaching, research and extension. This work, PROTAGONISM AND YOUTH: university extension in evidence, is scientific, educational, cultural and political, and has in its nature the interlocution of academic actors with the different sectors of society in the production of knowledge and practices, led by young protagonists and master dreamers, whose dreams go beyond a workforce, but represent themselves as a utopia of life! The chapters allow the reader to (re)know how the university has a social purpose, how it is capable of transforming the community, inexorably, sewing a new way of life for each generation.

STORIES FROM HERE AND FROM THERE

2023-09-28T16:45:46-03:00

After all, we don't just read the books, we live with them. This is civilization. Books have a social value.

Eric J. Hobsbawm

Eric J. Hobsbawm's striking phrase in the epigraph draws our attention to the social character of this artifact — the book. Logically, the social responsibility of the university and its professors is linked when the book is created in this environment. More than reading, living and identifying the social value of an academic work, I think about the previous processes of “putting a book in the world”.

In this sense, we need to recover a little of the trajectory followed in the History Course at the Universidade Estadual Vale do Acaraú (UVA), notably in the disciplines of Brazilian Historiography, History of Brazil II and History of Brazil III, since 2011, looking for create a culture of publishing books with students at the end of their training. Therefore, a decade of work is now complete. Not that this has a civilizing bent, or even to increase students' CVs for continuing education or postgraduate courses. But providing the taste, the pleasure of seeing the printed word enclosed in a volume, of experiencing the sensation of authorship — of an autograph night, perhaps — or of having contributed to placing your municipality on the “historiographic map” of the state of Ceará , often bringing something new about this municipality, or shedding new light, questioning something already recorded in the annals of History.

Integrative and complementary practices:

PICS are therapies based on looking at the human being as a whole, considering not only physical aspects, such as a headache, for example, but also what may be generating that pain, such as emotional, social and psychological issues.

These are resources that seek to prevent diseases and restore health through self-care, also emphasizing welcoming listening and the development of a therapeutic bond between the person served and the healthcare professional.

For this work, knowledge and preparation for the application of such techniques are necessary, but it should be emphasized that these practices have a more affordable price for the population compared to the prices of allopathic medicines.

PICs make us learn a new way of “doing” health, in a vision that preaches the interdisciplinarity of knowledge and perspectives, combining practices, concepts and skills.

This modality completely discards the biomedical model, as it seeks to understand the individual as a whole, and not just in parts. Because the fragmentation of care makes interpersonal relationships, communication and the individual's good prognosis difficult.

Routes and trajectories

2023-08-03T10:53:28-03:00

The research “Trajectories and Trajectories: student mobilities in the Sertão Central Cearense”1 had its genesis in 2018, during my first contacts with the students of the newly created Degree in Geography at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology (IFCE) in Quixadá. The coexistence on the campus clarified relevant findings about a problem that greatly afflicted the students of this mesoregion: their long journeys (the paths) in search of higher education (the paths) in a night graduation in the heart of the state of Ceará.

Food Security, Innovation and Sustainability

2023-09-13T09:22:09-03:00

This book leads us to reflect on food from various perspectives, understanding that the conscious consumption of food allows us to change our eating habits, as well as a change in behavior, abandoning waste and harmful consumption practices. This enables the adoption of conscious consumption practices within the values of environmental, social, economic and cultural sustainability, respecting all actors in the food chain.
We will taste each chapter, experimenting with flavors and knowledge, allowing an exchange of knowledge and experiences that bring us back to the best memories of debates around the table and the affection of our grandmother's kitchen, sharpening our senses and making us salivate and understand the importance of food for a balanced life, with social responsibility and which will bring benefits to society and the environment. A good read to everyone!

The Literary System in the 20th Century

2023-05-19T14:31:06-03:00

In defense of the free book! This is the opening motto to begin this prose, marking in capital letters and in red the what-to-do of the Núcleo Antonio Candido de Estudos Literatura e Sociedade, at the Federal University of Ceará, spreading out beyond the limits of institutional bureaucracy and the demands of the ideology of productivism. If Irenísia Torres and Ana Amélia Cavalcante are its main animators, they do so with socialist comradeship, welcoming students, fellow professors and researchers from different areas of knowledge without asymmetries. This publication, in the form of a collection of studies and research, is a sowing of the aforementioned Nucleus. A Tribute to Antonio Candido is also how you can read this book. In the different chapters, we will find flashes of his thought, not as an interested and certifying reference, but as a luminous starting point or question in the thread of research. What is certain is that reading annotated on the sidelines, discussed in the classroom or as enjoyment and sharing of thought, motivated the studies from which the annotation, the question, the doubt, the fruitful dialogue started.

Singing on the airwaves of Camocim's AM radios

2023-05-19T13:21:13-03:00

The Camocinense History Series follows in this volume 2 of volume 1 dealing with the political-cultural influence of radio in Camocim. Researching a decade of documentation, Maely Alves de Mesquita tells us a little about this vehicle that has had and continues to have a relevant impact on the lives of local citizens.

After midnight

2023-09-05T17:12:53-03:00

Volume 2 of volume 2 of the Série História Camocinense presents us with the hair-raising stories that rock the imagination of the people of Camocim. From hauntings to werewolves, the book brings reports of people who swear they have found or know who found one of these mythical figures in the land of Pinto Martins.

Political history of Sobral

2023-10-13T16:48:58-03:00

I wrote these verses
In a special way
Talking a little about history
Sobral Politics
In Prado and Barreto time
In your general command
Located northwest of
our Ceará
Throughout its history,
always attracted attention
Being among the most important
Cities in the region
Sobral had a dictatorship
But also opposition
There was an economic crisis
And industrialization
The mayor came and went
And a lot of conciliation.
Visiting a good city is a good thing for us to go
Bela Sobral, if I could I would be living there
May UVA continue to illuminate this place.
great Edvanir Maia lives in that city
Teacher and writer, God give you happiness
continue contributing to society as a whole

Francisco Soares da Silveira – Poet.

Pot kernels

2023-09-05T17:50:59-03:00

Volume 1 of volume 2, of the Série História Camocinense, presents us with a revised collection of 60 texts published over ten years on the blog Camocim Pote de Histórias, by Professor Carlos Augusto Pereira dos Santos. Memories of places, personalities and facts paraded through the blog since 2011, which, by all indications, still has many stories to tell.

Camocim breathed that air of music

2023-05-19T12:49:43-03:00

Starting the Camocinense History Series, the first volume of volume 1 brings an overview of the memories of almost 20 years of music festivals held in the “land of the pot”. Francisco da Paz Pessoa (Sílvio Paz) and Carlos Augusto Pereira dos Santos tell how these events marked an era and revealed different talents.

Culture (said) Popular

2023-09-22T23:19:03-03:00

VII PET SEMINAR – HISTORY AND MEMORIES

This work is the result of the collective effort of students, scholarship holders and volunteers who make up the PET – History group at Universidade Estadual Vale do Acaraú (Sobral-CE). It is also a direct derivation of the work carried out at the VII PET Seminar – Popular (so-called) Culture: challenges and possibilities for History, held between September 16 and 19, 2019 and which included the participation of teachers, students and artistic groups from several Universities in Ceará and beyond. Here, therefore, is this volume, a milestone in our academic formation and, certainly, one of the greatest joys among our experiences as Petians and Petians.

I from us

2023-06-07T15:42:53-03:00

The book Eu de Nós brings together poems written by Lucivania Soares and illustrations by designer Juliardy Rodrigues.

This is an attractive and curious work of art, a true gift for the eyes and soul.

It is forbidden to be

2023-09-08T12:37:19-03:00

The poet is a singular being. He keeps such an incomprehensible power within himself, such an immeasurable profusion of feelings, that when it spills out, it is like a force of nature, uncontrollable, unavoidable. For this reason, many poets get lost along the way, preferring to hide, hiding their “true self”, for fearing the consequences of releasing so much energy in a society so averse to what clashes. “Hiding oneself” ends up becoming a defense, a way to protect the exposed nerves, the unencapsulated soul. Our society fears our truths, fears the freedom to be who we should and want to be. It's forbidden to be is more than a book of poems, it's a moment of courage for a being who comes out of his cocoon, who learns to tell the world, in a visceral art, in verses and drawings, who he is and who he intends to be.

Correio da Semana

2023-09-06T09:52:25-03:00

Our cities, the city that we love, that we build and rebuild, that we invent sensibly, that we exaggerate in their beauties or their lacks, move very quickly, we barely reach their speed, and their vertiginous existence assures us that their polyphonic face is surreal , brittle. But what about our city and its differences? What to say about our city and its oddities? What to say about a city that insists on making muscle and strength, compressing our chest with the tear of longing and the painful snap of a hug when absent? Massimo Canevacci warns us that “understanding a city means picking up fragments. And launch strange bridges between them, through which it is possible to find a plurality of meanings. Or hermetic crossroads”2. Ferreira Gullar, in a certain way, in his Poema Sujo, also tells us about a shattered city, a city of a thousand broken mirrors in search of a face that is no longer the same. A city-fragment. A plural city because every city is made up of many other real cities, other possible ones, and many other imaginary and seductive ones.

Lives:

2023-09-27T16:48:59-03:00

Professor and researcher Telma Bessa Sales has two academic passions: history and the world of work. The combination of these passions follows the trajectory of her life as an activist, researcher and teacher. This vibrant interest in history and work goes back a long way; from her youth as a member of Pastoral Operária, through her studies and the topics she researches in academia. There is a particularity in Telma's studies, research and academic production, the sensitivity in listening to workers. And, even more than that, unveil what is often hidden, unwritten, not explicit. It is not free that among its contents and research categories in history are the records of ‘memory’ and ‘orality’. This concerns his permanent concern with giving visibility to those who are not always recognized, but who are effectively the ones who produce history. Telma also does something that is talked about a lot in academia, but which, most of the time, remains only in rhetoric: interdisciplinarity. This work, which is now available in book form, is a good example.

Teacher training

2023-09-20T19:49:51-03:00

This book and its respective chapters express numerous approaches to the theoretical and methodological complex that involves academic research and the discussion of topics related to Teacher Training, the Teaching of Geography and the Didactic Book that is fundamental for the understanding of School Geography. It was organized with the intention of encouraging new researchers by means of the publication of their articles, ou seja, those presented in XVIII ENANPEGE, in São Paulo, 2019, and further encourage a network with new perspectives of Teacher Training, of the Teaching of Geography The Didactic Book at the national level, with a meeting of publications from various research groups, in different lines of Geography Teaching in Post-Graduation Programs in Geography from Universities located in all Brazilian regions.

On the Margins of History

2023-10-13T17:24:30-03:00

If black people, with their abundant cultural tradition, were marginalized, what about minorities, such as the LGBTS+ group, women, former slaves, who would be disabled for the rest of their lives roaming the streets? From this perspective, the collection is a cry against oblivion, against the traditional paradigm of history, which has been changing, given the studies of black writers emphasizing a new vision regarding black culture; excellent literature brings necropolitics, decolonization, etc., to the agenda. Studies on gender are already a reality, dismissing sexuality as a simple issue linked to the sexual organ. The “minorities” need to become the majority so that History can contemplate what is within the scope of human culture.

Building being a teacher

2023-10-13T16:27:52-03:00

In the trajectory of university teaching, scientific writing is commonplace, revealing itineraries through teaching, research and the extension that they say about Being a teacher within the scope of their practice. But, they are not always about being per se, whose paths, setbacks and achievements are sometimes contained between the lines or in the drafts of life's spellings.

Teacher training and experiences in times of pandemic

2023-09-06T15:29:56-03:00

The current scenario, marked by the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic and especially by the health crisis, puts us in front of crucial issues in life, including education. Education professionals, especially teachers, have a variety of technological and pedagogical interfaces to assist in the teaching-learning process and provide a collaborative learning environment. We are all (re)learning to know, to communicate, to teach and learn, to integrate the human and the technological. We emphasize, specifically in this pandemic period, that technologies are extensions inherent to human beings within cyberspace and increasingly exercise primacy as resources for education. Thus, the chapters that make up this work provide spaces and reflections for the (re)construction of knowledge, when teaching and learning, so that the subjects involved can build scientific concepts and produce meanings in their practices and areas of knowledge, seeking to emphasize the values and attitudes of a professional who seeks continuous updating, based on training.

in the backcountry trails:

2024-01-18T22:33:08-03:00

The sertão, as a discursive production, was part of Portuguese spatial definitions during European expansion. Sertão, there, referred to places far from the coast, associated with a low demographic density. In other words, at first, the term sertão referred to places not yet populated or colonized by the Portuguese company; therefore, non-“civilized” spaces, in the sense that to civilize was to adapt a region to the colonizing order.

However, from the second half of the 19th century, with the formation of nationalist discourse and the construction of a national identity, the term was gradually re-elaborated by literature to acquire a sense of “national identity”, an imagined spatiality where originality of “Brazilian” culture was better preserved. Therefore, from the concept of sertão, the definition of the sertanejo was born as the entity that embodied the roots of the “homeland”. As an example, the work “O Sertanejo”, by José de Alencar, which composes a hinterland as a space of power personified in the sense of justice of Arnaldo and the Major Captain of the militia, Campelo1.

Dialogues about the Dictatorship

2023-09-21T22:32:06-03:00

In 2021, 57 years separate us from the beginning of one of the darkest periods in Brazilian History. Although more than half a century has passed, the civil military dictatorship has never been so present in our lives, with the new rise of a political ideology that calls for extremism along fascist lines. It seems like an anachronism, but there is no better term to define a political group that defends positions contrary to democracy, the basic rights of citizens, the existence of minorities, according to which it must “bow down to the majority”.

Florbela Espanca:

2024-01-22T20:49:25-03:00

A poet's eyes are special. They allow us to see the world in a different way from most people, sometimes sadder, sometimes more beautiful, but certainly the colors of life take on a unique tone, only superficially captured by many of those who allow themselves to delve into the verses of these people. specials.

Florbela Espanca stands out on the Portuguese literary scene not only for the beauty of her work, but for the way she lived. Her verses reflect the intensity of her life, driven by passions, in the pure sense of the term, that consume their bearer. And one of the biases in her work is exactly the symbolic reworking of her homeland, portrayed in her poetry in a unique way, in a way mirroring the author's actions.

Spatial configuration of Alagoas

2023-10-17T16:10:00-03:00

The book “The spatial configuration of Alagoas” is a contribution to Alagoas geography. In it, the reader will find a rich survey of the most relevant aspects for understanding the regional sections carried out in the state since ancient times. The 102 municipalities gain movement, as they are described in their genesis, within a tone that turns reading into a call to look at Alagoas in its internal natural, cultural, political, economic and social diversity and its particularities in relation to other units of Brazilian territory. Professor Paulo Rogério's didactic writing allows the work to be understood, even when read in parts, as I believe that many people from Alagoas will immediately find themselves in their place. In this sense, I invite you to enjoy reading this state, presented to me and so many colleagues by my friend Paulo Rogério, in such a beautiful and original way.

Dictatorship, fonts history and uses from past

2023-08-25T11:07:40-03:00

Book with articles presented at the VI International Seminar History and Historiography, in the thematic seminars “Brazilian civil-military dictatorship, behavior and everyday policies”, “Sources, imagination and narratives of the past”, “Military dictatorships in Latin America, democratic transitions and political uses of the past” and “Dictatorship, memory disputes and the role of historians in Brazil”. The texts gathered here analyze the period of the Dictatorship in Brazil from traditional sources and archives open to the public from the 1990s onwards, as well as the impact of the rise of the extreme right today, a reflection of the period of authoritarianism.

The political uses of the past

2024-01-03T20:15:17-03:00

The population and the Brazilian society are suffering, attacks by the pandemic and the calamitous gestão of the federal government that reveals the criminal concern in ending, not with poverty, not with doença, but with the poor! These hours, we only have Luta left, based on memory and the history of struggles and resistance of other hard times.

It happens that, due to the crucial importance of the History of Lutas, as well as general knowledge, culture and education suffer harsh attacks, slander, speech cuts, disqualifications by the political, economic and media elite.

political culture and uses of the past

2023-09-12T16:17:18-03:00

Book with articles presented at the VI International Seminar on History and Historiography. The works gathered here were part of the Thematic Symposiums “Political history: the contemporary path as a research opportunity”, “Political culture and state violence(s) in Brazil and Latin America”, “Youth, Cultures and Identities: readings from History and Historiography” and “The political uses of the Ancient and Medieval pasts in contemporary times”. It can be said that they are texts that orbit the words Politics and Culture. However, the gravitational center that makes these productions exist goes beyond the conceptual field. What unites the works compiled here, in fact, is the desire that we can recognize (ourselves) in the other, overcome our deadly images, rediscover the dreamlike nature of our existences, overcome this strange time and remember that History is the nickname affection that life responds to, when it is in love.

Soils and Vegetation in the Semi-Arid Environment

2024-01-16T10:55:02-03:00

Another work in the Semi-Arid Geography series brings together researchers who focus on studies on soils and vegetation that are so characteristic of the Brazilian Northeast. With chapters dedicated to Ceará, Bahia, Rio Grande do Norte and Piauí, the book takes a true tour of the northeastern nature, with the most recent discoveries and theoretical trends focused on our regional reality.

CLIMATE, RESOURCES WATER AND TECHNOLOGIES SOCIAL IN THE SEMI-ARID

2023-11-06T15:40:21-03:00

Environmental studies focused on the use and management of water systems, water security, climate analysis in small and medium-sized cities and on techniques applied to the semi-arid environment are, in the national context, increasingly being addressed as research topics in postgraduate programs. -graduation in Geography and related areas, such as Ecology, Agronomy, Agricultural Economics and Contextualized Education. This book reflects this projection and trend of academic production, as it is composed of works focused on climatic, hydrogeographical studies and coexistence with the semi-arid region, and highlights the diversity of research submitted for presentation at the IV Brazilian Semiarid Forum (IV FBSA), which has as its general theme “Education, technologies and techniques for coexistence in the semi-arid environment”.

Poetic agencies

2024-01-09T21:08:57-03:00

It is not easy to survive in Brazil when you are poor, black, peripheral, gay, in short, when you are somehow seen as “excludable” by society. Even more difficult when two or more of these characteristics come together. But with talent, the difficulties are transformed into inspiration by several young poets who make up this work, organized by Vicente de Paulo Sousa, whose academic career is intrinsically linked to slam poetry, which raised the voices of dozens of young people from the outskirts of Ceará. This time, Vicente does not analyze or describe slam culture, but rather, gives space for poets to express themselves, recording some of their most interesting creations, which, paraphrasing Belchior, bring more than words, but razors, which cut and hurt directly into the flesh of those who still retain some empathy in the midst of a society that is increasingly indifferent to suffering that not only hurts bodies, but also souls.

Geography teaching and assessment

2023-08-22T13:07:21-03:00

Geography Teaching and Assessment represent many possibilities for discussions about the reality surrounding teaching work, both in the context of the university and the school. When considering this approach, the texts presented in this publication show different theoretical and methodological interpretations, developed by professors and researchers. In this sense, the authors' texts are presented to us as the result of a set of investigations and discussions about the evaluation process and its relationship with the Teaching of Geography.

History, Spaces and Sensitivities

2023-08-31T12:51:01-03:00

Book with articles presented at the VI International Seminar on History and Historiography. The works gathered here were part of the Thematic Symposiums “History and sensibility: policies, writings and affections”, “History, cities and practices in/of space” and “For the right to the city: living and feeling the history and memory of urban spaces in Brazil Republic”. Themes and dimensions with which contemporary historiography has been working assiduously – the layers of time, the role of memory in the construction of identities, space as an expression of social relations, everyday life and its unauthorized cultural creations, the effects of meaning produced by writing – crosses the studies of this book, suggesting that, like other important initiatives, it may become a document for future historiographical investigations.

The nature of the Acaraú Valley

2023-10-13T16:05:36-03:00

Traveling through the Acaraú Valley through this book and, when possible, also through the “ground”, geographizing society's relations with nature, potential riches and persistent miseries, is a good exercise in learning about a small sample of Brazil's semiarid region. , which needs to be seen and treated with the perspective of a promising future for its persistent residents, especially those who believe and commit themselves through their creativity, initiatives and work forces to make their lives in the “sertão” ever better possible.

Intellectuals, uses of past and teaching History

Volume history, in its specific focuses and approaches.

Politics, Religion and Emancipation

2023-08-28T19:52:13-03:00

The reflections around religion, politics and emancipation, proposed in this work, are extremely opportune for us to make some critical considerations in the face of the current configuration that the religious phenomenon has been acquiring today, both in Brazil and internationally.

The close relationship between Religion and State in Brazil is not new. Historically, since imperial times, the Catholic Church has always exercised great influence on public power, whether with regard to the moral character of rulers, or in the very appointment of its ideological representatives to strategic positions in the elaboration and implementation of public policies.

GEODIVERSITY

2023-10-26T20:58:37-03:00

Knowledge of the geological past is fundamental, adding understanding from a historical perspective and the application of knowledge, which leads us to understand the evolution of the Earth's surface. The records and legacies of evolution stand out in the geological structures and relief forms.

In this context, we have geodiversity, encompassing the abiotic elements of the natural environment, including endogenous and exogenous processes in the dynamics of the Earth's surface. From this dynamic, rock structures or relief formations are exposed in their modeled heyday. In turn, it constitutes the biodiversity scenario, as discussed in the articles that follow in this work, which invites us to reflect, among other topics, on the scientific and social importance of geomorphic heritage.

History and Historiography

2023-09-18T22:05:23-03:00

Book with articles produced based on posters presented at the VI International History and Historiography Seminar, with analyzes on the uses of history in educational spaces, the constitution of discourses on health, the role of public history in digital media, the formation of historian, spaces and memory disputes.

Through the texts gathered here, the reader will be able to undertake a long temporal and spatial immersion, focusing on the North and Northeast regions of the country. Looking through the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries, there are studies that consider the different forms of access and use of land, as well as the variety of types of work and conflicts in rural areas.

Teaching and Training of Geography Teachers

2023-08-22T16:35:12-03:00

The diversity of themes gathered in this book has the broad and emerging purpose of problematizing a geographic education that can develop critical and reflective thinking in teacher education and contribute to a teaching of Geography that develops a polyhedral look at our worlds – developing innovative perspectives and methodologies, contributing to a democratic, citizen and inclusive education, which articulates university and school, in a 21st century built of challenges for which Geography has to mobilize, that is, for which we have to mobilize.

Anthropology, History and Literature

2023-07-31T11:13:32-03:00

The texts gathered here come from the III International Conference on Memory, Culture and Becoming - History, Anthropology and Literature: practices, speeches and performances in Iberoamerica, held at the Federal University of Ceará, from April 2 to 5, 2019, the result of the recognition of the confluence of knowledge of several researchers, who, over the last few years, have worked on the frontier area between history, anthropology and literature, as well as the theoretical and methodological confluences on the potentialities, creativity and risks of the border zones between disciplines of social sciences and humanities. The International Conference on Memory, Culture and Becoming is organized by the Graduate Program in History at the Federal University of Ceará, by the Red(e) Ibero-Americana Resistência e/y Memória, and by the research line «Uses of the Past, Memory and Cultural Heritage» of the Institute of Contemporary History of the Universidade Nova de Lisboa, bringing together researchers from several universities and countries, who present, debate and seek to cross paths.

From the Northeastern Sertão to the Amazon forest, in different times and spaces, the themes are entangled by the constitution of borders that move and in a conflicting way, bring distant spaces closer together while distancing approximate times.

Hydrographic Basins and Environmental Studies in the Semiarid

2023-10-15T14:10:42-03:00

The organizers of the work were supported by the Brazilian Semi-Arid Forum, which had as its main theme “Education, Technologies and Coexistence Techniques in the Semi-Arid” and brought together professionals from all over the country who dedicate themselves to research in the semi-arid environment and work in the areas of teaching, research and extension in public and private institutions and governmental and non-governmental organizations: geographers, agronomists, biologists, engineers, geologists and pedagogues, teachers, researchers, academics and professionals from other areas focused on the semi-arid theme at national and international level.
The result of the researchers' joint work in creating this work was easily incorporated into the Semi-Arid Geography Series, with the support of the Semi-Arid Research and Extension Group (CNPq) and the North – Northeast Network of Postgraduate Researchers in Geography (RENNEGEO).

Patrimony, Memory and Historiography

2023-09-11T22:22:51-03:00

Book with articles presented at the VI International Seminar on History and Historiography. The works gathered here were part of the Thematic Symposia “Public history, heritage and memory”, “History and Historiography of Cultural Heritage symbolic spaces in multiple perspectives and perspectives” and “Cultural Heritage and the political uses of the past in contemporary Brazil”.

Uruoca

2024-01-04T20:09:10-03:00

The book Uruoca: People, places and stories features details on its cover that speak volumes about its content. In the background, we have an image of figures present in one of the municipality's archaeological sites and whose location and history we will have the opportunity to learn more about. The other photos portray “people” who are represented through the photo of the couple responsible for the construction of the Paracuá District. The two other photos symbolize “places and stories” of our people. The Campanário Chapel Church, in its first version, and as I could not forget, we finally see the Railway Station, reason, incentive and beginning of the Riachão District, later, the municipality of Uruoca.

Writings about Ipueiras station

2024-01-15T11:56:43-03:00

In 2013, via the Ministry of Education and Ministry of Culture, the Federal Government made it possible for schools in the public education system providing comprehensive education to register, through the SIMEC portal, culture projects for the MORE CULTURE IN SCHOOLS PROGRAM.

Since then, the management of comprehensive education in the municipality of Ipueiras began to mobilize the directors of school units, as well as their teams, in order to reflect important aspects of their communities and, with this support, develop a cultural project. A total of thirty-five projects were registered.

Oiticica dos Rosários:

2023-11-02T20:24:29-03:00

The Ministry of Culture, in 2013, provided schools in the public education system with the opportunity to work on cultural issues, adding values to the school and community experience, through the registration of cultural projects.

Approaches and themes of Physical geography

2023-08-21T14:12:57-03:00

Geodiversity and soil education, as well as research and contemporary challenges related to watersheds, make up the core of this work, which brings back to the fore the theoretical discussions in Physical Geography, which seem to be left aside in recent years. The greatness of the contribution also lies in the option for the object of study, which leads us to contribute to the authors' living space, in this case the state of Piauí. This becomes the stronghold of the researchers' coveted look, taking it as a projection of the analyses, always supported by scientific rigor, in its theoretical and methodological foundations.

GEODIVERSITY OF SEMI-ARID

2023-08-02T14:51:48-03:00

More than parched landscapes, the Brazilian semi-arid region holds a geodiversity of inestimable richness. In addition to its coastal area, the Northeast region offers a plurality of landscapes with potential both for geotourism and for several other activities, but not yet properly developed due to a series of factors pointed out in some studies that appear in this book, one of the first efforts in disseminate this emerging analytical perspective on the dry Northeast, which will certainly be joined by new looks and new stories of its environment and its people.

The Camocinense Parliament

2023-10-20T13:18:33-03:00

The history of Municipal Councils in Brazil is intertwined with the country's own history, even when we were just a Portuguese colonial territory. In fact, the origin of this story goes back to Portuguese municipal councils that existed since the medieval period. In this sense, when in Colonial Brazil the town of São Vicente was elevated to the status of a town and its City Council was formed, it already had in its midst the Portuguese administrative similarity, established by royal act, which brought into force all the norms valid in the Empire Portuguese, based on the famous Manueline Ordinances (until 1603) and Philippine Ordinances, until the advent of Independence in 1822.
In this way, the Municipal Chambers in Brazil concentrated municipal administration in its executive, legislative and judicial powers, having in its organization a similarity with its counterparts in Portugal with regard to the above-mentioned attributions.

The Promised Land in Piauí

2023-05-31T09:35:14-03:00

More than the ground we step on, the earth is a mother, it is a provider, it is life. The issue of access to land has always been a key factor in the formation of Brazilian society. After all, who has the right to this vast land where, if planted, everything is possible? The landowners, who keep countless tracts of unproductive land as future investments? Private capital, which with State incentives uses arable land for the production of inputs that are often foreign to the local culture? To the State, which on countless occasions has turned its back on the needs of the peasant population?

These issues are the backdrop for the first work by sociologist Maria Elza Soares da Silva released by Editora SertãoCult, which sensitively portrays the arduous struggle for survival of peasants in the interior of Piauí. Convinced that they were taking a safe step towards the long-awaited acquisition of land for the reproduction of their way of life, they found themselves thrown into an unknown reality, uprooted from their traditional agricultural customs and practices in order to adapt to the logic of production. of agribusiness. But this process was not without resistance.

For a harmonious coexistence, concessions were made both by the partner peasants and by the company that hired them to produce castor beans for the production of biodiesel. Both sides had to gain: the company, the maintenance of a lucrative contract with the federal government. The peasants, the promise that such land would be theirs after ten years of work. But the clash between traditional practices, capitalist dynamics and political interests proved that promises are not always kept. The dream of the promised land in the interior of Piauí continues to cherish the days of those workers, whose life stories are recorded in an engaging way by the author, who in a breathtaking ethnographic experience inserts the reader into the routine of conquests and difficulties of the partner peasants of Brasil Ecodiesel - pioneering plant in the implementation of the social dimension of the National Program for the Use of Biodiesel Production - PNPB.

Monsignor José Furtado Cavalcanti

2023-10-20T12:58:22-03:00

Talking about the history of Meruoca and not mentioning Monsenhor Furtado, or talking about the trajectory of this religious man without mentioning Meruoca is hiding the most important chapters of both. The municipality and Monsenhor Furtado had their paths intertwined for more than half a century, which made the protagonist of this book more than a man of the Church, but a man of the people of Meruoca. And when we talk about the parish priest's impact on that community, it is not just the encouragement he brought with his words, reinforcing the faith of the local people, but the sum of all his actions, which crossed religious boundaries, marking health, education and infrastructure even in the corners of that mountain range. The authors intelligently convey the history of Meruoca, highlighting the performance of Monsenhor Furtado, allowing readers to see why this character's name appears prominently in the monuments and, mainly, in the memory of the people who had their lives influenced by him.

Approaches about city and the urban in northern argentina

When two renowned higher education institutions sign partnership, the good fruits become shared. This is the case of technical cooperation 01/2017, held between the Vale do Acaraú State University – UVA (Brazil) and the National University of Tucuman (Argentina), which allowed valuable exchange of experiences between both academic communities.

This book brings together chapters based on articles produced for the completion of the course taught in the Post-Graduation, Doctorate in Social Sciences modality, at the National University of Tucuman – Argentina. The Urban Issues course: Classical Approaches, Contemporary Approaches, was taught in August 2018, aiming to discuss theoretical and methodological questions in the studies of urban problems in Latin American cities.

The chapters are anchored in the bibliographical indications worked out in the discussions during the course, combined with the attentive eyes of the two authors regarding their cuts and research interests, resulting in an original contribution. The chapters that make up this book are all in Spanish and have presentations in Portuguese.

The concept of Bildung in Hegel

2023-05-30T18:15:56-03:00

“The study aims to present the training path through which the individual in training becomes aware of himself when overcoming the immediate. In Hegel, the immediate, indeterminate subjectivity, mere individuality without relation, must be led to the ethical, social and political reality, that is, to the world of culture, proper to educated men, the citizens. Such determination is manifest in the idea of the State (Staat), a consequence of what Hegel called the spirit of a people (Volksgeist). This discussion takes place at the time of the Hegelian philosophy that is called objective spirit, being developed mainly in his philosophy of law and in his philosophy of history, in which the ideals of his concept of Bildung are historicized, that is, apprehended from the human deeds in history. Law and history are the vehicles for the realization of Bildung, just as Bildung is the condition for men to establish their rights and produce their history.”

Our people, our history

2023-10-24T22:51:38-03:00

In the 2018.1 semester, we proposed to the History of Brazil III students that we write about our people, those who are closest to us, living with us or even a little distant in the recent past. The idea was to take advantage of the research that was being done to write their respective TCCs and adapt the themes to the republican period, a time that converges with the study of the discipline mentioned above. We would, therefore, have a kind of Ceará República panel, due to the themes raised in the first classes. Few students had to leave their research area to fulfill the final objective – publishing a book with articles from students in the final stages of the course.

Throughout the semester, we discussed a work that served as a guide and inspiration for us: Histórias da Gente Brasileira. Volume 3, Republic. Memoirs (1889-1950), authored by historian Mary Del Priore. It was an interesting experience, because each time the discussions were held, we felt that those stories told, in the case of the third volume, narrated from memory, were issues that concerned us, that we had already heard told by our parents and grandparents.
