“A Conversation Between Kip Jones and Patricia Leavy: Arts-Based Research, Performative Social Science and Working on the Margins.”
No full textThis paper reports a conversation between international pioneers in Arts-Based Research and Performative Social Science, Patricia Leavy and Kip Jones. They begin by delineating the differences between research and/or dissemination that use tools from the Arts in their production. Leavy turns to her fiction writing as an example, while Jones discusses the making of his research-based short film, Rufus Stone. The conversation then turns to how these novel approaches have changed the way in which they work and these efforts in relation to the academy. The concept of “audience” is raised. Both then give examples of taking alternative routes in their career paths and funding for this kind of work. Jones specifically talks about using creativity in all our approaches, including small-scale projects that rely on creativity rather than money. He suggests being creative in the ways in which we write for publication and present our work to other academics. Leavy ends the conversation by discussing taking risks and walking through fear. Jones recommends not working in silos, but letting all parts of our lives influence our outputs
Educação e Educação Física escolar: vamos aprender funk?
No full textEste Recurso Educacional foi construído a partir da pesquisa de mestrado intitulada Educação e Educação Física escolar: em questão, o funk, para inspirar e produzir novas práticas educativas de professores(as) e pesquisadores(as). Sua proposta é dar ao funk uma significação na sua intervenção na Educação e na Educação Física escolar. Com raízes profundas no movimento negro, o funk traz uma linguagem própria, capaz de dialogar com as vivências e realidades estudantis. Por meio de seus elementos, os jovens conseguem se expressar culturalmente e aprender com essas experiências. Eles passam, assim, a se reconhecer como sujeitos sociais e protagonistas de suas histórias e ações. Dessa forma, a melhor estratégia não é proibir o funk, mas chamá-lo para fazer parte da escola, das aulas, com uma metodologia didática e reflexiva, com possibilidade de ocupar um lugar no currículo organizado. Assim, por meio de análises das referências teóricas estudadas que fundamentam o funk, a dança e a cultura, atrelados ao pensamento de autores, escritores e profissionais da Educação, este Recurso Educacional vem concretizar o currículo em seu nível de ensino e apoiar todos(as) os(as) estudantes e profissionais da Educação. Convidamos a todos(as) a conhecerem a cultura funk, dançando, vivenciando, preservando e propagando o que aprenderam, para que, juntos(as), consigamos fazer da escola um ambiente educativo, inclusivo e vibrante.Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES

Promoting global Internet freedom: policy and technology
No full textThis report provides information about US government and private sector efforts to promote and support global Internet freedom and a description of Internet freedom legislation and hearings from the 112th Congress.
Modern communication tools such as the Internet provide a relatively inexpensive, accessible, easy-entry means of sharing ideas, information, and pictures around the world. In a political and human rights context, in closed societies when the more established, formal news media is denied access to or does not report on specified news events, the Internet has become an alternative source of media, and sometimes a means to organize politically.
The openness and the freedom of expression allowed through social networking sites, as well as the blogs, video sharing sites, and other tools of today’s communications technology, have proven to be an unprecedented and often disruptive force in some closed societies. Governments that seek to maintain their authority and control the ideas and information their citizens receive are often caught in a dilemma: they feel that they need access to the Internet to participate in commerce in the global market and for economic growth and technological development, but fear that allowing open access to the Internet potentially weakens their control over their citizens.
Internet freedom can be promoted in two ways, through legislation that mandates or prohibits certain activities, or through industry self regulation. Current legislation under consideration by Congress, the Global Online Freedom Act of 2011 (H.R. 3605), would prohibit or require reporting of the sale of Internet technologies and provision of Internet services to “Internetrestricting countries” (as determined by the State Department). Some believe, however, that technology can offer a complementary and, in some cases, better and more easily implemented solution to ensuring Internet freedom. They argue that hardware and Internet services, in and of themselves, are neutral elements of the Internet; it is how they are implemented by various countries that is repressive. Also, Internet services are often tailored for deployment to specific countries; however, such tailoring is done to bring the company in line with the laws of that country, not with the intention of allowing the country to repress and censor its citizenry. In many cases, that tailoring would not raise many questions about free speech and political repression.
This report provides information about federal and private sector efforts to promote and support global Internet freedom and a description of Internet freedom legislation and hearings from the 112th Congress. Three appendixes suggest further reading on this topic and describe censorship and circumvention technologies
O FUNK NO RIO DE JANEIRO: IDENTIDADE ÉTNICA, CULTURAL E SOCIAL NA BAIXADA FLUMINENSE
No full textPatricia Luisa Nogueira Rangel DOI: 10.12957/periferia.2013.15370O presente artigo objetiva explorar o movimento funk dentro da região periférica do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, a Baixada Fluminense. No entanto, este trabalho focará sua atenção nos municípios de Nova Iguaçu, Mesquita, Nilópolis, Belford Roxo, São João de Meriti e Duque de Caxias. O ritmo que contagiou jovens negros e pobres dos subúrbios e favelas do Rio de Janeiro não demorou muito para atingir o gosto musical de uma região sofrida e esquecida, tornando-se, para alguns, um modelo barato de diversão. O funk é um ritmo dançante que possibilitou recriações com a mistura de vários outros ritmos que estão diretamente relacionados à diáspora africana; junto com essa expressão cultural vem também a possibilidade de uma nova identidade, como linguajar, vestimenta, acessório
