Dans le cadre d’un projet de recherche-action mené auprès d’élèves réfugié·e·s au Québec, nous avons documenté l’expérience d’enseignant·e·s qui les accueillent en classe. Dans cet article, nous présentons une analyse de récits de pratique qui relatent des situations vécues mettant en scène un·e élève réfugié·e et qui, du point de vue des personnes qui les racontent, pourraient être formatrices pour de futur·e·s enseignant·e·s. Dans une perspective compréhensive du savoir-agir professionnel, l’analyse qualitative progressive des données menée nous permettra de mettre en lumière six manières dont les participant·e·s soutiennent la résilience des élèves, ce qui nous apparaît également contribuer à leur développement professionnel.

This article offers an analysis of the screening of the Italian film Luciano Serra, pilota (1938) in the cities of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro during the Second World War. The sources consulted for this work include mainly the newspapers that advertised the programming of the screening rooms, the magazines that circulated in the country, the film itself, as well as official sources (Brazilian laws and decrees). The advertisements published in Brazil about Luciano Serra, pilota are part of a set of procedures and strategies of profit maximisation, but they also reflect characteristics and values of Brazilian society before the state of belligerence towards the Axis countries.

“Induction provides a path to first principles” (Aristotle): so we approach our topic by sampling three distinct sorts of data—rules in actions as exemplified in games; rules as directives for manufacture; as laws not only for maintaining order among people but also relations between citizens and governments—finding in each case the parts that nonverbal expressions of rules play. While words are essential to formulating constitutive rules defining sporting games, they seem less important than emulation for recreational uses. They drop out in children’s games of make-believe, which developmental psychology shows to be crucial to early development, since ours is a naturally rule making and following species. Industrial artifacts, thereby the modern world, depend on graphic systems, here exemplified by origami notation, which feature isolation and sequence in simultaneity, lacked by words. Such notations also exhibit a five-order pattern of intentionality, whose importance is demonstrated by communication breakdowns in road signage, undermining civic life.

The purpose of this essay is to analyze the figure of Delmiro Gouveia, Brazilian industrialist, as a counterpart of Macunaíma in Mário de Andrade’s scriptures. Chronicles, letters and Macunaíma’s romance will be the sources for this research. Differently from the character in Andrade’s novel, in which Delmiro Gouveia is represented as a lazy worker, we will observe in these documents that this man was a unique Brazilian, dedicated to the progress of his own country.

Fifty years ago Ernst Gombrich’s Art and Illusion revolutionized philosophical and scientific study of visual representation by thoughtful -application of research from the modern vision sciences. Since then those sciences – recently including neuroscience – have greatly developed, and it is now common to attempt direct translation of their findings to depiction, even treating its perception as a branch of visual perception.Unfortunately, rather than advancing Gombrich’s project, many of these applications – often reductive in nature – involve elementary logical fallacies. These fallacies are mostly due to overlooking Gombrich’s main idea, that image makers – like other technologists – use natural principles for their own purposes, and that their first purpose is to make artifacts, which are perceived as such. With better context, it should be possible to find more constructive directions for recent cognitive research, related to drawing.

Between 1950 and 1966 prices in Argentina rose at an average annual rate exceeding 25 percent. There have been several attempts to stabilise the situation, notably in 1966 when the military government took command. This attempt appeared to have considerable initial success, however, by 1970 the inflation rate began to accelerate again. This article describes the nature and characteristics of the stabilisation policy pursued in 1967-69. The author explains why, despite its initial success, in the end it broke down. Implications for the structuralist-monetarist controversy are then drawn. Finally, some conclusions that can be drawn for long-run development strategy and short-run stabilisation policy in Argentina are suggested. JEL: E31, E52, E60

This paper analyzes the relationship between the cinemas located in the city of Aracaju (located in Brazil’s Northeast) and the movies shown at the time of World War II. The cinemas’ scheduling varied according to changes in U.S. movie production, and it also depended on the international position of Brazil, considering the War and the countries involved in the conflict. Newspapers and magazines constitute the bulk of the documentation that supports an analysis of the films exhibition at a time when the mass media were controlled with political purposes.
