No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas. Programa de Pós-Graduação em HistóriaEsta dissertação analisa a trajetória de João da Cruz e Sousa (Desterro, 1861 - Rio de Janeiro, 1898) privilegiando o estudo dos seus textos de juventude e, em especial, a sua produção abolicionista. A sua estrutura está organizada em três partes: no capítulo 1, trata das origens familiares e dos primeiros contatos de Cruz e Sousa com a cultura dominante no seu tempo; no capítulo 2, aborda os anos de formação político-intelectual do escritor; por último, no capítulo 3, reconstrói a militância abolicionista de Cruz e Sousa em Desterro e reflete sobre as relações entre produção intelectual e engajamento político na experiência de escritores negros no Brasil do final do século XIX
O trágico na poética de Cruz e Sousa
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura, Florianópolis, 2014.Este trabalho elabora uma leitura que destaca uma emergência trágica nos textos poéticos de João da Cruz e Sousa (1861?1898). Na linhagem de Nestor Vítor, a crítica do poeta utiliza reiteradamente o significante "tragédia" - na acepção do senso comum -, normalmente adjetivando sua vida. Deixando ressoar esse vocábulo e apoiando-se nas imagens que os poemas evocam, esta pesquisa opera um deslocamento de sentido no significante "trágico" e o utiliza enquanto gênero que adjetiva, não mais a vida, mas os textos de Cruz e Sousa. Para tanto, optou-se por realizar uma comparação capaz de colocar em confronto temporalidades distintas; um contraponto com as estéticas surrealista, romântica e barroca. Foram percebidos contatos relevantes com os textos cruzesousianos tanto na imagem do Ângelus, de Millet, e na leitura surrealista que Salvador Dalí fez da obra, quanto no uso reiterado do mito cristão e sua aparição em outras modalidades artísticas ? como na ópera de Parsifal, ou ainda, no drama trágico alemão e no estudo que fez dele Walter Benjamin. A afinidade reside na tônica dada ao sacrifício, à morte, ao rito religioso. E, a partir daí, se desenha uma hipótese de leitura que faz dessa emergência trágica um modo de conceber a história. Precisamente essa forma de pensar é que caracteriza o decadentismo do fim do século XIX como um momento no qual se privilegiou a reencenação do rito, adotando uma postura crítica ao mito

Educação integral: olhares em torno de uma escola pública municipal de Caxias-MA
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências da Educação, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação, Florianópolis, 2014Esta dissertação tem como foco a Educação Integral, uma política pública integrante do Programa Mais Educação. Ela parte de estudos e vivências sobre uma escola municipal situada em Caxias, estado do Maranhão. A pesquisa contou com a participação de gestores, professores, monitores, familiares e alunos, com os quais agenciei os questionamentos sobre o tema - Educação Integral. A intenção foi analisar como as práticas de Educação Integral têm se constituído nessa Unidade de Ensino, localizada no bairro Campo de Belém. Assim, delineou-se o problema de pesquisa: como a Educação Integral contribui para tecer uma prática pedagógica emancipatória, numa escola municipal de Caxias-MA? Durante o tempo em que eu estive em campo, os anseios, as dúvidas e expectativas emergiram nos discursos dos treze interlocutores, para reinventar o contexto educacional em sua pretensão de criar uma escola de tempo integral. Por meio da abordagem etnográfica foi possível configurar o olhar em torno do contexto social,histórico e cultural dos pesquisados. Ancorada numa análise qualitativa, esta pesquisa evidencia a importância de repensar a formação docente e a prática pedagógica numa perspectiva de Educação Integral, comprometida com a emancipação do ser humano, que está inserido no cotidiano escolar. Ademais, proponho neste estudo: delinear um currículo que aponte para uma identidade coletiva, entrelaçada às políticas educacionais efetivadas nas escolas municipais de Caxias. Em campo construí as informações específicas, com instrumentos e técnicas como: observação participante, rodas de conversas, entrevistas semiestruturadas e realização de filmagens, a fim de fazer um recorte entre os anos de 2010 a 2012, quando o Programa Mais Educação chegou na escola pesquisada. No ano de 2013, é que as informações foram coletadas, quando a E.I. estava em curso. Os conceitos centrais buscaram explicar os sentidos e significados de ser um profissional crítico, autônomo e reflexivo, diante da proposta de jornada ampliada gerada pelo PME. Para discussão teórica, o apoio veio de autores como: Giroux (1986), Contreras (2002), Freire (1996), Nóvoa (1992), entre outros. Para ilustrar o contexto da Educação Integral e do Programa Mais Educação foram utilizados autores complementares, entre os quais:Teixeira (1967), Peter McLaren (2000), Clifford Geertz (2008), Darcy Ribeiro (1979), Arroyo (2012), Sousa (2010), Moreira (2002), Moll (2012) e Cavaliere (2007). Os documentos oficiais que regulamentam o PME compuseram as fontes sobre a temática mencionada, ampliadas pelo levantamento das produções científicas a respeito das concepções de práticas pedagógicas na Educação Integral entre os anos de 2006 a 2012, quando começa a efervescência das discussões sobre o assunto em pauta. Esta pesquisa me permite refletir sobre a complexidade que transversaliza a implantação da Educação Integral, uma política interessada em uma escola pública de qualidade, como espaço e tempo do aprender, aberta aos repertórios culturais, à troca de saberes e experiências para a formação do ser humano.Abstract: This thesis has focused in Full-time Education, a public policy and component of More Education Program and part of studies and the being about a Municipal School of the City of Caxias, in State of Maranhão. In the research has participated managers, teachers, trainees in education, parents and students, whose we applied questionnaires about the theme Full-time Education. The mean was to analyze the how the Full-time Education practices have been constituted in this Unit of Learn, localized in Campo of Belém Neighborhood. The problem of this search: how to evidence the Full-time Education as a contribution to do a pedagogical practice emancipatory? During the time on fieldwork, doubts and expectations in the speeches of thirteen research interlocutors to reinvent the educational context to claim and build a Full-time Education. Through the ethnographic approach was possible to configure for the best look of the social, historic and cultural context of the surveyed. Based on a qualitative analyze, this research evidences the need to rethink the teaching training, the practice of pedagogy, in a perspective of Full-time Education, commitment with the human being emancipation which is embedded in the day a day of the school. Furthermore, the study to delineate a curriculum that indicates a collective identity, intertwine to education polities effective on the municipal shoos of Caxias is proposed. In fieldwork we joined the specific information, with tools and techniques as: outlook of participation, circle of talk, semi-structured interviews and video making, leading on between the years 2010 and 2012, when the More Education Program occurs in the referred school. The information were collected in 2013 and the I.E. was on course. The central concepts attempt to explain the sense and meaning of a critical, autonomous and reflexive professional, in front of the proposal de blown up journey, made by MEP. To the theory argument was sustained in authors as: Giroux (1986), Contreras (2002), Freire (1996), Nóvoa (1992) and others. Delineating the Full-time Education context and the More Education Program, were used complementary authors, such as Teixeira(1967), Peter McLaren (2000), Clifford Geertz (2008), Darcy Ribeiro (1979), Arroyo (2012), Sousa (2010), Moreira (2002), Moll (2012), Cavaliere (2007). The official documents made the sources about the referred thematic, amplified by the scientific productions raised about the conceptions of pedagogical practices in Full-time Education, between the years 2006 and 2012, where start the effervescent discursion about this theme. This research leads us to think about acomplexity that crossed the Full-time Education implementation, an interesting policy in a public school of good quality, as space and time of learning, open to the culture repertories, and knowledge and experience exchange for the human being formation

SOROPREVALÊNCIA E FATORES DE RISCO PARA A INFECÇÃO POR Neospora caninum EM CÃES DE ZONA RURAL DO MUNICÍPIO DE SOUSA, PARAÍBA
No full textNeospora caninum é um protozoário cujos hospedeiros definitivos são canídeos domésticos e silvestres, e hospedeiros intermediários são os herbívoros. Objetivou-se determinar a prevalência de anticorpos IgG anti-N. caninum em cães de zona rural do município de Sousa, Paraíba. Foram analisadas amostras de 98 cães de zona rural, através da Reação de Imuno fluorescência Indireta no ponto de corte 1:50. A frequência de soro positividade foi de 9,18% (9/98). A titulação de anticorpos variou de 50 a 200, predominando o título 1:50. Em 66,6% (4/6) das propriedades avaliadas havia pelo menos um cão soropositivo. O contato com bovinos foi considerado fator de risco (Odds ratio=15,25) para a infecção, demonstrando maior risco de contato com tecidos contaminados. Conclui-se que os cães de zona rural do município de Sousa estão expostos ao N. caninum
Whistle characteristics of free-ranging Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins (Sousa chinensis) in Sanniang Bay, China
No full textBroadband recording systems were adapted to characterize the whistle characteristics of free-ranging Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins (Sousa chinensis) in Sanniang Bay, China. A total of 4630 whistles were recorded, of which 2651 with legible contours and relatively good signal-to-noise ratios were selected for statistical analysis. Of the six tonal types (i.e., flat, down, rise, convex, U-shaped, and sine), flat (N - 1426; 39.45%) was the most predominant, followed by down (N - 754; 23.35%) and rise (N - 489; 12.34%). The whistles showed a short duration (mean +/- SD: 370.19 +/- 285.61 ms; range: 29-2923 ms), a broad frequency range (fundamental contour ranged from 0.52 to 33 kHz), and two harmonics (mean +/- SD: 1.90 +/- 2.74, with the maximum frequency of harmonics beyond 96 kHz). Whistles without gaps and stairs accounted for 76.7% and 86.4%, respectively. No significant interspecies differences in frequency parameters were observed compared with S. teuszii, which is inconsistent with morphological taxonomies but confirms phylogenetic results, thus suggesting a close relation between Chinese S. chinensis and Atlantic S. teuszii. Significant intra- and interspecific differences in the genus Sousa were also observed, indicating that animal vocalization may not be limited by genetically determined traits but could also be a function of local habitat adaptation.

Studies on genera of Scarabatermitini describe very superficial sexual dimorphism among the species of the tribe (eg Silvestri 1940; Howden 1973; Howden and Gill 1988a, 1995, 2000); otherwise, the sexual dimorphism of <i>Balleriolus</i> is restricted to terminalia.</p>Published as part of <i>Sousa, Rafael & Vaz-de-Mello, Fernando Z., 2023, Balleriolus, a new termitophilous genus of Ceratocanthinae (Coleoptera: Hybosoridae) from South America and notes on termitophily in the tribe Scarabatermitini, pp. 1377-1395 in Journal of Natural History 57 (29 - 32)</i> on pages 1386-1389, DOI: 10.1080/00222933.2023.2248689, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/10492238">http://zenodo.org/record/10492238</a>
Cruz e Sousa, entre o tribuno e o místico / Cruz e Sousa, between the tribune and the mystic
No full textResumo: O artigo procura, por meio da revisão bibliográfica da fortuna crítica e da análise de poemas de Cruz e Sousa, refletir sobre dois dos perfis historicamente estabelecidos sobre o poeta catarinense: o de tribuno, poeta engajado na liça abolicionista, e o de místico, ligado ao culto à arte e a busca pela transcendência e comunhão com o Absoluto. Tais questões são pensadas à luz de bibliografia teórico-crítica brasileira e internacional, com eventuais contribuições do pensamento social e filosófico para a compreensão da poesia de Cruz e Sousa como um momento singular da poesia moderna brasileira e ocidental. Nesse sentido, demonstra-se que aquela dualidade se apresenta como perfil apenas parcial da produção do poeta, cujas temáticas e elaborações formais precisam ser pensadas com base no conjunto de sua obra e de suas transformações ao longo de sua trajetória literária.Palavras-chave: Cruz e Sousa; simbolismo; abolicionismo; poesia e experiência mística; fortuna crítica.Abstract: The article seeks, through the bibliographic review of the critical fortune and the analysis of poems by Cruz e Sousa, to discuss the two profiles historically established about the poet from Santa Catarina: that of tribune, a poet engaged in the abolitionist side, and the mystic, linked to the cult of art and the search for transcendence and communion with the Absolute. Such questions are thought considering Brazilian and international theoretical-critical bibliography, with eventual contributions from social and philosophical thought to the understanding of Cruz e Sousa’s poetry as a unique moment of modern Brazilian and Western poetry. In this sense, the article demonstrates that that duality presents itself as only a partial profile of the poet’s production, whose themes and formal elaborations need to be thought in the light of the set of his work and its transformations along his literary trajectory.Keywords: Cruz e Sousa; symbolism; abolitionism; poetry and mystical experience; critical fortune
