The Construction of Socio-Political and Symbolical Marginalization in Brazil:Reflecting the Relation between Socio-Spatial Stigma and Responses to Violence in Rio de Janeiro
No full textIn this article I reflect upon the construction of socio-political and symbolical marginalization of the dwellers of the favelas in Rio de Janeiro. I explore the demonization of favelas and the particular labelling of favelas’ youngsters as the usual suspects and the face of fear in the city. I argue that addressing youngsters generically as ‘drug dealers’ follows the systematic historical devaluation and humiliation of the dwellers of the favelas in the public arena. Thereby I want to show the nature of criminalization of poverty in Rio, and its consequences on youngsters’ life experiences in the city. Youngsters from favelas have been transformed into the main target of strategies of social control and spatial enclosure. Such processes unfold in a core period for Brazilian society and involve transformations in Brazilian socio-political and spatial context, where the negative effects of neoliberal agenda challenge the consolidation of democracy and social justice. This article is based on empirical research in Brazilian favelas with youngsters living under a socio-symbolical shadow (Fernandes, 2009, 2013a/b) and involved in drug trafficking (Fernandes and Rodriguez, 2009; Silva et al, 2009). It is also based on extensive reflection on concepts and theories that enable new representations on favelas and by extension, new routes for public policies addressed for marginalised groups

Youth Gang Members in Rio de Janeiro:The Face of a ‘Lost Generation’ in an Age of Fear and Mistrust
No full textThis article analyses the relationship between stigmatization, violence and marginality and its limits to social justice and citizenship. It involves a critical reflection on the way groups living in a social and symbolical shade are represented and treated by governments and their institutions, and the way such practices reinforce a cycle of socio-symbolical marginality and the limits to life in the city. For that the article will explore the findings of a research within drug gangs in which I have been involved (Silva and Urani, 2002, Observatório de Favelas, 2006; Silva et al, 2009), and my own research on violence, urban marginality and stigmatization (Fernandes, 2009; Fernandes, 2012)

Densidade mineral óssea e actividade física na Universidade Fernando Pessoa
No full textO objectivo do estudo foi estimar a densidade mineral óssea e a actividade física na comunidade da Universidade
Fernando Pessoa. Foram avaliados 164 indivíduos dos 17 aos 81 anos (118 do sexo feminino e 46 do sexo masculino)
entre estudantes, docentes e funcionários da Universidade Fernando Pessoa, no âmbito do Projecto Ambulatório
de Saúde Oral e Pública desta Universidade, através de desnitometria óssea por ultrassons. Os parâmetros de t-score
e densidade mineral óssea revelaram-se, de uma forma geral, normais. Contudo é necessário atender ao facto de a
amostra em análise ser ainda jovem e pouco activa, pelo que no futuro estes valores poderão tornar-se o espelho da
osteoporose.
The main purpose of this study was to estimate the bone mineral density in the community of University Fernando
Pessoa. There were evaluated 164 subjects with ages from 17 until 81 years old (118 females and 46 males) involving
students, teachers and workers of the University Fernando Pessoa, during the Ambulatory Project of Oral and Public
Health, by ultrasound densitometry. The parameters of t-score and bone mineral density were generally normal. However
it is necessary to consider that this sample was young and not very active, so in the future these results could
become a mirror for osteoporosis

FISCAL IMPACTS OF SOCIAL SECURITY REFORM IN BRAZIL
No full textThis article focuses on the reform of Social Security in Brazil, initiated in 2003. We estimate the fiscal impact of the original government proposal, as well as of the proposal approved at the House of Representatives, and the final format approved at the Senate. We also estimated both, the balancing contribution rate and the effective contribution rate, in the three phases of the reforming process. Results indicate that although the final impact was considerably reduced from the initial project, a great deal of progress has been made towards both, the reduction of annual Social Security deficit and its transformation into a more equitable system.
