A formação de professores em e para direitos humanos na perspectiva filosófica de Emmanuel Levinas
Get PDFDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências da Educação, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação, Florianópolis, 2013.O presente trabalho tem como proposta refletir a formação de professores em e para direitos humanos na perspectiva filosófica de Emmanuel Levinas. Este autor propõe a ética como filosofia primeira, uma vez que a concebe como resposta à interpelação do Outro. Ela seria um caminho para resistir à ontologização e, consequentemente, à totalização. A ética levinasiana origina-se no reconhecimento da alteridade do Outro, sendo o rosto a manifestação da singularidade de cada pessoa, motivo pelo qual todo ser humano é possuidor de dignidade, um dos fundamentos dos direitos humanos. A relação ética Eu-Outro, bem como com terceiros (estrangeiro) é assimétrica, pois, desestabiliza e exige dos sujeitos dialogantes abertura, acolhimento e responsabilidade, emergindo daí a necessidade de pensar uma política na perspectiva da outridade. Portanto, uma proposta formativa pensada e articulada a partir do reconhecimento da alteridade faz irromper o inesperado, o imprevisível da vida que viria questionar concepções e práticas formativas que subordinam e colonizam o Outro, reduzindo-o ao Mesmo. Neste sentido, ainda que se reconheça a complexidade quanto à fundamentação filosófica dos direitos humanos, é intransferível a responsabilidade de pensar a formação de professores em uma perspectiva de uma pedagogia da alteridade, justificando-se assim a relevância da abordagem a qual nos propomos. Por isso, uma formação em e para direitos humanos na perspectiva filosófica de Levinas tem de ter seu fundamento na interpelação ética do Outro, cujos encaminhamentos curriculares e metodológicos se constituem em respostas aos seus apelos. Esta formação não possui encerramento em uma cerimônia de colação de grau, pois se caracteriza como inacabamento, incompletude e constante abertura à novidade que se manifesta no rosto do Outro, exigindo outros tempos, espaços, currículos e metodologias para processos formativos emancipadores. Este trabalho é de cunho qualitativo e está organizado em cinco momentos: no primeiro apresentamos o contexto e a introdução à temática da formação e dos direitos humanos; no segundo momento, tratamos da complexidade que entorna o conceito de direitos humanos; no terceiro, abordamos o pensamento levinasiano, especialmente as categorias alteridade, responsabilidade e interpelação ética; no quarto momento, refletimos os desafios e possibilidades de pensar a formação de professores na perspectiva da ética e pedagogia da alteridade e; finalizamos com algumas considerações que percebemos como necessárias, reconhecendo várias aberturas para possibilidades futuras de pesquisas, estudos e reflexões. Abstract : This present work aims to reflect the teachers education in and for human rights in the philosophical perspective of Emmanuel Levinas. This author proposes ethics as first philosophy, once conceives it as a response to the interpellation of the Other. It would be a way to resist to the ontologization and hence aggregation. Levinasian ethics originates in the recognition of the otherness of the Other, being the face, the manifestation of the uniqueness of each person, which is because every human being is possessed of dignity, one of the foundations of human rights. The ethical relation me - Other, and with third parties (foreign) is asymmetric because destabilizes and requires from the subjects dialoguers openness, acceptance and responsibility, emerging hence the need for a policy thinking from the perspective of othernes. Therefore, a training proposal conceived and articulated from the recognition of otherness does erupt the unexpected , the unpredictable of life and it would come to question concepts and training practices that subordinate and colonize the Other , reducing him to the Same . In this sense, although it recognizes the complexity as the philosophical foundation of human rights, is non-transferable responsibility of thinking about teacher education in a perspective of alterity pedagogy, thus justifying the relevance of the approach which we propose. Therefore, training in and for human rights in Levinas philosophical perspective, must have its foundation in ethical interpellation of the Other, whose curricular and methodological referrals constitute responses to their requests. This training does not have closure in a graduation ceremony, because it characterizes itself as unfinished, incompleteness and constant opening to novelty manifested on the face of the Other, requiring other times, spaces, curricula and methodology for emancipatory educational processes. This work is a qualitative one and it is organized into five parts: the first presents the context and introduction to the theme of education and human rights, in the second moment, we deal with the complexity that spills the concept of human rights, on the third, approach the Levinasian thought, especially the categories otherness, responsibility and ethical interpellation, in the fourth part, we reflect on the challenges and possibilities of thinking about teacher education from the ethics perspective and otherness pedagogy and finalizing with some considerations that we have perceived as necessary, recognizing several openings for future research possibilities studies and reflections
Can reforming global institutions help developing countries share more in the benefits from globalization?
Get PDFGlobalization could significantly expand trade, international investment, and technological advances, but the gains from global integration have been unevenly distributed across and within nations. Greater global interdependence has also brought greater macroeconomic volatility, resulting in several serious financial crises in the second half of the 1990s. The global matrix of Bretton Woods and United Nations institutions that developed starting in the 1940s, formed under a different balance of power, in a world of fixed exchange rates and limited capital mobility. Since the 1960s regional financial institutions have emerged because of the greater autonomy of different regions and the greater financial needs of development. The author reviews different proposals for reform of the international financial institutions and changes in the roles of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank. He highlights the implications for developing countries of (1) Policy conditionality. (2) The countercyclical role of multilaterals'lending. (3) Greater lending to middle-income than to low-income developing countries. (3) Access to liquidity at times of crisis. (4) Mechanisms for giving low-income countries a greater voice in IMF and World Bank decisionmaking. The author streses the overlapping responsibilities of the Bretton Woods and regional financial institutions and the need to reassess the allocation of responsibilities and to develop better coordination mechanisms between these institutions. Those designing institutional reform must consider the corporate capabilities of each type of institution. The corporate cultures of global and regional institutions differ. So does the kind of knowledge they generate and disseminate, and so do patterns of interactions with, and mechanisms for representation of, client countries.Finally, the author calls attention to the need to harmonize national and global growth-oriented policies in a way that reduces volatility and promotes social equity.Environmental Economics&Policies,Governance Indicators,Financial Intermediation,Economic Theory&Research,Banks&Banking Reform
A technical efficiency analysis of intra-central bank settlement mechanism in Eurozone
Get PDFThis work employs the stochastic frontier method to explore the efficiency of the TARGET2 (T2) balances mechanism across the Eurozone countries. An index is introduced to support the estimation strategy and derives meaningful results from better capturing the mechanism’s efficiency. The analysis spans the period 2005–2017 and documents the significant role or inefficiencies influencing the role of T2 from unemployment and labor costs. The absence of T2 would have endangered the viability of the Eurozone to promote trade. There is enormous country heterogeneity on efficiency and inefficiency of the error terms in our model, which indicate persistent structural issues and temporary issues; to ensure its uninterrupted operation, the enhancement of the export orientation of the manufacturing base of countries with the least efficiency (high unemployment and labor costs) is essential.</p
Who is tech savvy? Exploring the adoption of smartphones and tablets:An empirical investigation
Get PDFThe present analysis performs a Multinomial Probit Model in order to observe which mobile technology qualifies across individuals. The findings indicate that individuals in family businesses prefer to combine both tablets and smartphones in their purchases, rather than separately. Younger individuals report an adoption preference towards smartphones, while older individuals are inclined towards tablets. The theoretical contributions encompass both the technology acceptance model (TAM) and the social cognitive theory (SCT). Individuals working in a family business exhibit a curious behaviour and they are becoming early adopters. TAM helps explain this behaviour as they tend to try new novelties exploring the potential usefulness they might derive; these technological advancements allow them to connect with customers and partners. By contrast, SCT helps gain a better understanding on young and old individuals' behaviour. The younger generations seem to be easily influenced by their peers with a tendency to technologies which are fun and allow them to build connections. Older individuals are equally influenced by their peers, with the difference that their social circle being more mature (e.g., business owners, professionals). This combined with the complexity of the technology orients them into adopting tablets more easily than smartphones.</p
Spirituality, religiosity, stress, working from home and gender amidst the COVID-19 pandemic
Get PDFPurpose: The purpose of this paper is to focus on the role of stress and work from home and their influence on the frequency of praying (spirituality) and attending ritual services (religiosity). Design/methodology/approach: Drawing from a data set from Understanding Society (COVID-19 study) in the UK from 5,357 participants, this study specifies a two-level mixed-effects ordered-probit regression to test the main hypotheses and chi-square (x 2) analysis, gamma (γ) and tau-b (τ b) for checking the robustness of this study results. Findings: The findings of this study exhort with statistical confidence that spirituality is positively related to religiosity. Working from home positively influences individuals’ spiritual and religious needs, while attending religious services in person is associated with less stress. Females have been found to be more likely to pray rather than attend religious services. Originality/value: This study investigates the role of work from home and stress on spirituality and religiosity, two key elements often forgotten in personal life and copying. This paper considers spirituality as the frequency of praying, while religiosity is the frequency of attending rituals, which religion has institutionalised.</p

ICT Capital Formation, Unemployment, and the Solow Paradox
Get PDFThis study explores the impact of ICT on unemployment and labour productivity. Using a time-varying modelling approach, quarterly US data from 1972 to 2020 estimate the relationships between unemployment and ICT capital investments. The results highlight that ICT capital investments reduce unemployment and increase labour productivity, showing no evidence supporting the Solow Paradox. The mechanisms behind the relationship between ICT and enhanced labour productivity are identified by Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and include improved access to information and an improvement in the labour structure.</p
