George Herbert Mead: contribuições para a história da psicologia social George Herbert Mead: contributions to history of the social psychology
No full textCom este artigo pretende-se contribuir para a compreensão histórica de um autor/personagem da Psicologia. Analisamos e acrescemos conhecimento sobre George Herbert Mead e os desdobramentos de sua teoria psicossocial. Para esse propósito, explicitaremos, no texto, uma das vertentes analíticas utilizadas em nossa dissertação, qual seja: por meio da abordagem social em história da psicologia, confrontamos a vida de Mead com momentos de constituição da psicologia, colocando em relevo aspectos centrais dessa interlocução nem sempre identificados. Correlacionamos a história de Mead com questões sociais, políticas, econômicas e científicas, assim como suas conexões com práticas e valores culturais específicos de sua época. Buscamos compreender sua limitada difusão na ciência psicológica, dando, assim, continuidade ao processo de (re)volta do autor.This article intends to contribute to historical understanding of author/character of Psychology. We analyzed and enlarged knowledge about George Herbert Mead and the developing of his psychosocial theory. For this reason, we will explain in the text as analytical side used in our dissertation, in other words: through of the social approach in history of psychology we confront the life of Mead with facts of constitution of the psychology, emphasizing central aspects of this discussion not always identified. We correlate the history of Mead with social, politic, economic and scientific questions as well as his connections with practices and specific cultural values of his time. We look to understand his limited diffusion in the psychological science, giving, so, continuity to the process of returns of the author
Axel Honneth e a Teoria do Reconhecimento: breves considerações introdutórias acerca de Hegel, Mead e Winnicott
No full textThe purpose of this article is to addres the concept of recognition in thought from contemporary philosopher Axel Honneth. Therefore, this study uses as a work the main book Fight for Recognition: The Moral Grammar of Social Conflict. In it, the author presents recognition as an essential factor for the construction of social conflicts. Moreover, the thinker employs the concepts identified in the philosophy of young Hegel and bases them on the empirical tests of George Herbert Mead and Donald Winnicott. The research is summarized in two approaches: the young Hegel of Jena and the importance of Mead and Winnicott in the reconstruction of the theory of recognition.O objetivo deste artigo é abordar o conceito de reconhecimento no pensamento do filósofo contemporâneo Axel Honneth. Para tanto, este estudo utiliza como obra principal o livro Luta por reconhecimento: A gramática moral dos conflitos sociais. Pois nele, o autor apresenta o reconhecimento como fator essencial para a construção dos conflitos sociais. Além disso, o pensador emprega os conceitos identificados na filosofia do jovem Hegel e os fundamenta a partir dos testes empíricos de George Herbert Mead e Donald Winnicott. A pesquisa resume-se em duas abordagens fundamentais: o jovem Hegel de Jena e na importância de Mead e Winnicott na reconstrução da teoria do reconhecimento
Positive dialetic: from Mead to Habermas
No full textO autor discute a importância da psicologia social de G. H. Mead para o pensamento social de Habermas. De especial interesse para o filósofo alemão é a confluência, em Mead, de duas linhas de reflexão do pragmatismo norte-americano - a filosofia analítica da linguagem e a teoria psicológica do comportamento - na crítica à filosofia da consciência. Apesar de denominar sua teoria ''behaviorismo social'', Mead se afasta das teorias do comportamento clássicas, ao enfatizar a experiência interna do indivíduo, e fazê-lo tendo como ponto de partida o ''todo social''. O artigo expõe, então, como a teoria da razão comunicativa pretende incorporar e, ao mesmo tempo, ultrapassar essa abordagem.The author discusses the significance of G. H. Mead's social psychology to Habermas's social thought. Two streams of the American pragmatism - the analytic philosophy of language and the behaviorist psychological theory - are united in Mead to criticize the philosophy of conscience. In spite of naming its theory as ''social behaviorism'', Mead breaks with classical behaviorism in so far as he emphasizes the individual's internal experience and presupposes the ''social whole'' in it. Finally, the article shows how the theory of communicative action claims to incorporate and, at the same time, to overcome that approach

A cylindrical ionic polymer-metal composite-based robotic catheter platform: modeling, design and control
No full textIonic polymer metal composites (IPMCs) are soft electroactive polymers that have recently gained considerable attention in biomedical engineering as actuators and sensors. This study focuses on modeling, design and control of a cylindrical IPMC actuator with sectored electrodes. The cylindrical IPMC allows for multi-degree of freedom motion and accurate control of the tip location that can be utilized in biomedical active catheter devices. A three-dimensional finite element model is constructed to describe the physics of cylindrical IPMC actuation. The model is implemented to conduct optimization studies that provide conceptual designs that can maximize deflection, force output, and twisting actuation. Also, a cylindrical tube-shaped IPMC is designed and fabricated. This type of IPMC offers the ability to embed a specific tool and accurately control the tool tip location, which is critical in catheter procedures. To effectively utilize the tube-type IPMC, a closed-loop control system is created based on the electromechanical model and tested in different actuation settings. To improve functionality and the user interface the control system is designed to work on a laptop touchpad

(N. del T.)Dos de las obras marginales de Margaret Mead (1901-1978) habrían bastado para conferirle un lugar relevante en la historia del desarrollo de la antropología: la antología de escritos de su maestra Ruth Benedict, An Anthropologist at Work (1959), y The Golden Age of American Anhtropology (1960), otra antología que preparó con ayuda de Ruth L. Bunzel. El hecho es que estos dos trabajos gozan de cabal marginalidad mientras que el resto de sus libros, algunos bajo el estatuto de clásicos de la disciplina, tal vez se leen todavía menos de lo que se les aprecia. Mead llegó a Franz Boas en los novecientos veinte, como nuestra Anita Brenner (1905-1974), y sus enseñanzas en Columbia University la marcaron para siempre. Winthrop Sargeant preparó este perfil de la doctora Mead a mediados del siglo XX, cuando ella era una especie de ícono entre algunas comunidades letradas. Se publicó en la entrega del 30 de diciembre de 1961 de la revista The New Yorker
Margaret Mead e l'Antropologia dell'educazione tra conservazione e innovazione
No full textThis paper offers a reflection on the figure of Margaret Mead and her contribution to the development of the anthropology of education. Although she is mostly remembered for her research in the Pacific islands, the author has shown deep attention to the education of young people, inculturative processes, and the fight against ethnocentrism and racism. Through a critique of American educational institutions, she proposed the introduction of new educational paths and new teaching methods, anticipating by decades of current research on grandparent figures and their contribution to the education of the youngest
Early to middle Eocene magneto-biochronology of the southwest Pacific Ocean and climate influence on sedimentation: Insights from the Mead Stream section, New Zealand
No full textThe Mead Stream section (South Island, New Zealand) consists of a 650-m-thick series of continuous, well-exposed strata deposited on a South Pacific continental slope from the Late Cretaceous to the middle Eocene. We examined the uppermost Paleocene–middle Eocene part of the section, which consists of ~360 m of limestone and marl, for detailed magnetic polarity stratigraphy and calcareous nannofossil and foraminifera biostratigraphy. Magneto-biostratigraphic data indicate that the section straddles magnetic polarity chrons from C24r to C18n, calcareous nannofossil zones from NP9a to NP17 (CNP11–CNE15, following a recently revised
Paleogene zonation), and from the Waipawan to the Bortonian New Zealand stages (i.e., from the base of the Ypresian to the Bartonian international stages). The Mead Stream section thus encompasses 17 m.y. (56–39 Ma)
of southwest Pacifi c Ocean history. The ages of calcareous nannofossil biohorizons are consistent with low- to midlatitude data from the literature, indicating that during the early–middle Eocene, the low- to midlatitude
calcareous nannofossil domain extended at least to ~50°S–55°S in the South Pacific. Correlation of the magnetic polarity stratigraphy from the Mead Stream section with the geomagnetic polarity time scale allows us to derive sediment accumulation rates (SAR), which range between 8 and 44 m/m.y. Comparing the SAR with paleotemperature proxy records, we found that two intervals of increased SAR occurred during the early
Eocene climatic optimum (52–50 Ma) and during the transient warming event peaking with the middle Eocene climatic optimum (40.5 Ma). This correlation indicates that, at Mead Stream, the climate evolution of the early–middle Eocene is recorded in a sedimentation pattern whereby, on a millionyear time scale, warmer climate promoted continental weathering, transportation, and accumulation of terrigenous sediment
