Resenha do: Black Avatar and Other Essays, de Amit Majmudar (2023).
No full textAmit Majmudar’s Black Avatar and Other Essays (2023) examines the intersections of colonialism, colorism, and cultural identity in India. The book combines literary criticism, philosophical reflections, and autobiography to examine how aesthetic and racial patterns have been shaped historically. Majmudar engages with theorists such as Fanon, Said, and Bhabha, exploring the impact of colonialism on the self-image of postcolonial peoples. While it offers a profound analysis, it could expand its connections to other colonized regions. The book’s response has generated significant debate, reflecting its relevance both to academia and to a wider audience.El libro Avatar Negro y Otros Ensayos de Amit Majmudar (2023) examina las intersecciones del colonialismo, el colorismo y la identidad cultural en la India.

Exploring young students creativity: The effect of model eliciting activities
No full textThe aim of this paper is to show how engaging students in real-life mathematical situations can stimulate their mathematical creative thinking. We analyzed the mathematical modeling of two girls, aged 10 and 13 years, as they worked on an authentic task involving the selection of a track team. The girls displayed several modeling cycles that revealed their thinking processes, as well as cognitive and affective features that may serve as the foundation for a methodology that uses model-eliciting activities to promote the mathematical creative process
Reviewing the Author-Function in the Age of Wikipedia
No full textIn Reviewing the Author-Function in the Age of Wikipedia, Amit Ray and Erhardt Graeff examine how wiki technology challenges traditional concepts of authorship and authority in knowledge production. The authors build on poststructuralist theory, particularly Roland Barthes\u27s Death of the Author and Michel Foucault\u27s concept of the author-function, to analyze how wikis destabilize individual authorship in favor of collaborative, community-driven content creation.
The essay argues that wikis represent a fundamental shift from the Romantic notion of the solitary author-genius to what they term the wiki writing process —a dynamic system where traditional roles of reader, writer, and editor blur into a unified community of users. Using Wikipedia as a primary case study, the authors demonstrate how the platform\u27s structure (article, discussion, and history pages) creates a digital palimpsest that archives all contributions while enabling continuous revision.
Through analysis of Wikipedia\u27s editing patterns and community oversight mechanisms, Ray and Graeff show how wikis embody poststructuralist principles in practice, creating what they call serial collaborations that exist in perpetual flux. The authors conclude that wikis represent an evolved form of textual production that realizes Foucault\u27s vision of discourse freed from traditional authorial constraints, offering new possibilities for collaborative knowledge creation while challenging established notions of intellectual authority and ownership
