Family businesses can be considered unique organizations due to the manifestation of two distinct logics in their environment: on the one hand, the family logic, which values the common good of the members, and on the other, the business logic, which aims at rationalization and obtaining profits. Research on this topic indicates that individuals in these organizations are subject to having their subjectivity hijacked, caused by the experience between the field of work and family, which leads, in a way, to the inability to separate attitudes from the two fields, with no clear division by the individual. The theory of action allowed us to understand organizations as a social field, taking into account the concepts of capital, habitus and illusio. This theoretical article aimed to comparatively discuss the foundations of the Bourdieusian theory of action and the analytical principles of the kidnapping of subjectivity by Faria and Meneghetti (2007), highlighting the possibility of applying them in research on family organizations. This article contributes to the understanding of family organizations as a social field that enables the constitution of a subject who is aware of their choices and knows how to deal with power games in the organizational space.

The Pilgrimage of the Bible, which has been taking place for 35 years in São Felipe D'Oeste (RO), is a phenomenon of popular Catholicism, with geographic, political and cultural nuances. We sought to understand this fact by relating it to colonization and hierophanies, which meant "Holy Water" as a sacred space, of struggles and resistance for the conquest of the land. For research methodology, we resorted to ethnography procedures the oral history as a technique was used to systematize the narratives of the pilgrims, collaborators of the research. To understand the relationships between the rites, symbols and meanings of religion, we use the theoretical contributions of Durkheim (2008), how the forms of religious organization maintain social cohesion, Mircea (2010), the differentiation between sacred and profane space, Rosendahl (1999). and 2018) las manifestations of culture in sacred spaces and Santos Silva (2021), with the sacred manifesting itself through hierophany. Therefore, we consider that the pilgrimage, on the one hand, resulted from the struggle and organization of the small settlers. On the other hand, the action of the agents of the Catholic Church and the manifestations of the sacred were fundamental to legitimize religious practices. Currently, the rituals, symbols and meanings that have been promoted to the space of "Holy Water" and in the celebration of the Pilgrimage of the Bible keep the spirit of brotherhood and Christian faith alive in the memory of the pilgrims.

This article systematically addresses the phenomenon of structural racism and the conception of Afrofuturism in the Brazilian context, with the aim of undertaking an insightful analysis of the historical influence of slavery in the formation of prejudice directed at the black community, at the same time that it explores the intrinsic potentialities of Afrofuturism to restructure these stigmatizing perceptions. The method adopted to achieve this purpose comprises a critical approach that focuses on the historical and cultural trajectory of Brazil, placing particular emphasis on contemporary manifestations of the racial phenomenon. The results of this analysis irrefutably highlight the perpetuation of social inequalities and the consolidation of stereotypical representations of the black population in the media. Additionally, they highlight the urgency of promoting a narrative that not only values, but also deconstructs stereotypes rooted in the social structure. The Teatro Experimental do Negro also stands out as an avantgarde endeavor, which not only encouraged the creation of new works, but also led to the emergence of emerging talents, playing a crucial role in the acceptance of contemporary movements, notably Afrofuturism. The conclusion that must be drawn is that Afrofuturism, through its artistic expressions and fictional narratives, presents itself as a vehicle capable of catalyzing the collective imagination, rescuing neglected historical fragments and establishing new paradigms of expectation for the black community. In this context, it reveals itself as a transformative agent, effectively contributing to the deconstruction of structural racism and the promotion of a more comprehensive acceptance of black identity in Brazilian society.

The text is an afterword to the Portuguese edition of the book "Ricos e Pobres no Alentejo" (Rich and Poor in Alentejo), written by José Cutileiro. The author describes the social and economic changes that occurred in Alentejo, Portugal, between the years 1970 and 1976. He reports that after the Agrarian Reform, there were changes in the land ownership system and social relations, but emphasizes that the region's social structure still presented problematic characteristics. The author argues for the need for a progressive awareness of rights and duties of citizenship, as well as minimum economic prosperity and a democratic political and union system for the Agrarian Reform to be effective.

This paper considers the learning difficulties in the specific context of the elementary school - final years (6th to 9th grade), especially in public schools. These difficulties result from the new social and didactic organization, the relationship with expert teachers, and new homework's demanded, typical of this period when compared to early years. To mediate these difficulties, we propose the Writing to Learn device whose purpose is to systematically explore the epistemic function of writing. The device would be integrated as a curricular component to the diversified part of the grade curriculum. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article analyzes the eighties of the 19th century as a moment of intense transformations in the order of thought about the sertões and in the set of actions of the territorial state in formation in the dominance of the Jaguaribe River, in the State of Ceará, in the region that came to be constituted as the Brazilian Northeast. The conjunction of the ecological exhaustion of the social structure created by productive diversification, the institution of private property and the transition from the livestock economy to cotton cultivation, associated with a significant set of scientific research in the field of geography, resulted in intense transformations in territorial formation. The qualitative changes that culminated in the territorial formation of the state, transfigured in water policies as instruments of population control, arranged in the political and analytical formulation hydraulic solution, are given in the form of draft and geographical ideation in scientific research and specific and integrated actions of the State territory at that time. The author analyzes this set of territorial transformations as the construction of a scientific birth statute for the sertões that reclassifies their status as a national problem and deepens the understanding of their constitution with a view to forming an official geography of Brazil.

In the first years of the 18th century, the captaincy of Mato Grosso was the scene of countless gold discoveries, the lives of its inhabitants were marked by the continuous arrival of waves of men and women who sought to improve the conditions for their existence. Several elements were responsible for the formation of a plural and diverse society than the Portuguese Metropolis. The insufficiency of resources and products forged new practices and customs different from those existing in the Kingdom. Remember that these settlers were exploring the backlands that had never been explored before. Thus, the social organization of the Captaincy of Mato Grosso was highlighted by a social stratification made up of whites, blacks, mulattos, free and captives and by a new social layer to be conquered, the indigenous. The initial foundation of the cities in Mato Grosso had the objective of protecting the Portugal domains on the border with the Spanish. The difficulty in populating the Captaincy forced the Crown to grant special benefits and privileges to sertanists who took the risk of settling in the Captaincy, this included the indigenous nations that lived there Arraiais Towns and Cities were forged in order to meet the demands imposed by the geopolitics of the region.

The Migrant's Guide is a document developed by Enactus' Lavi project, an international non-profit student social entrepreneurship organization specifically developed at the State University of Maringá as an extension project. Lavi's goal is to employ immigrants and refugees, with operations aligned with the concept of decent work, and to raise awareness among companies so that the cause is accepted and the job market becomes more inclusive, integrating them into the local population. To this end, it has developed a document compiling the main information to assist the immigrant and refugee community in their first contact with the city and guarantee their access to rights, acting in line with SDG 8 - decent work and economic growth - and SDG 10 - reducing inequality. Despite the support of the various bodies and entities involved in this process, there is still a lack of integrative policies for the first, second, and third sectors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

It is a tendency in certain areas of educational research sectors, many of them progressive, to encourage new practices, to recognize diversity and cultural dynamics, to invest in change to solve the education crisis so that it is possible to finally build a school for the 21st century. When we read "Education 2021: for a history of the future", by Nóvoa (2009), do we not come across the same dream? It's striking that proposals for the future and a new tomorrow for the school must be constructed, but always mediated by the onirian liberal horizon. We wonder whether it is possible to organize these proposals in a form of capitalist social organization that is inherently concerned with forming subjects in the logic of the market. This text thus aims to dialogue with the educational tendencies and Nóvoa's proposals (2009), problematizing them and briefly comparing them with the events and results from the second decade of the 21st century on, from the author's perspective.

In recent decades, indigenous peoples have been articulating processes that strengthen and/or revive rituals, cosmologies, aesthetics, and diversity of knowledge as a political strategy of resistance. This phenomenon is linked to forms of identity affirmation and maintenance of territorial rights, and has served as a lens for the anthropological analysis of indigenous reality. With this in mind, the article focuses on a set of aesthetic experiences and cosmological knowledge that take place during the "Festa da Menina-Moça," an important ritual process and cosmopolitical event of the Tenetehar-Tembé people, located in the northeastern state of Pará, Brazil. The aim of this study is to comprehend the relationship between the social construction of the Tembé body and the role and "strength" (agency) of women in the production and aesthetic utilization of the festival. This utilization translates important aspects of territoriality, cosmopolitics, and alterity of this Tupi-Guaraní people of eastern Amazonia. The study is built upon two foundations: a review of anthropological literature and ethnographic theorization, drawing from both my field experiences in the villages of Guamá and the participant observation I conducted during the festival in mid-2018. Based on this analysis, I examine the paths or phases of the Festa da Menina-Moça and the effectiveness of Tembé aesthetics in the fabrication of the bodies-territories of the girls and boys during the liminality until their relational transformation into "true people." This article offers an original interpretation of Tembé reality and its processes through the aesthetic expressions of the festival, which serve as a revelatory axis for the sociocultural dynamics and cosmopolitical relationships of the various indigenous groups. The conclusion drawn is that the social organization and political practices of the Tenetehar-Tembé people are strongly influenced by the celebration. In this context, cosmological knowledge and potential aesthetics construct "true people" while simultaneously (re)producing social bonds and ritual memory. These in turn, are mobilized and updated in other aspects of Tembé life, particularly in their political struggles for territory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The publication, in 1964, in the pages of the journal Análise Social, of "Portugal, sociedade dualista em evolução", by Adérito Sedas Nunes, is seen as an inaugural milestone in systematic sociological research into Portuguese social structure. This text seeks to reconstitute the dualist sociological argument contained in the article, the path of in-depth research into the Portuguese social structure to which it invited and the realisation of such a path, within a paradigmatic framework, progressively defined around domination and inequalities, which the constitution of a disciplinary field in the field of sociology has guaranteed.

The guiding problem of this research is to identify the meaning of Community Democracy in contemporary Bolivian constitutionalism. Thus, the general objective is to verify the constituent meaning of Community Democracy beyond the analysis of the constitutional text, based on the reflection on the diversity of spaces for construction and democratic practices of a community matrix. The present investigation comprised three moments: in the first moment, it approached the constitutional innovations brought by the contemporary Latin American constitutionalism, especially the Bolivian one. In the next item, an attempt was made to understand the different conceptions of democracy existing in Bolivia, arising from the diversity of community social structures. Finally, Community Democracy was analyzed as one of the innovations of Latin American constitutionalism at the end of the 20th century, foreseen in the new political charter and materialized in the concrete practices of Bolivia. As a result, it was shown that new ways of thinking about the relationship between the State and original populations deserve to be highlighted. However, the demands of community power have been marginalized as official constitutional recognition has been applied with the intention of keeping ancestral traditions in a subordinate position. The approach method used was the hypothetical-deductive, historical and monographic procedure, with bibliographic and documentary research techniques. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article investigated how Bitcoin users' and enthusiasts' legal consciousness symbolically penetrates this social field in Brazil by structuring and shaping individuals' decisions to buy, use and invest in the technology. Thirty-nine Bitcoin users and enthusiasts were interviewed. The thirty-nine transcripts were coded and analyzed using grounded theory. In the end, three distinct interpretative schemas were obtained through which the interviewees' legal consciousness is expressed and affects, as a result, their individual decisions. The interpretative schemas were named 1) law as a utility tool; 2) law as a security provider; and 3) law as a political tool. From the findings, one comes to the conclusion that even in social fields where the law is actively contested and rejected, it still represents a structuring component of social relations with relevant behavioral shaping power.

The objective of this study was to map and visualize the development and structure of social networks of scientific production on the theme "Institution-Based Vision" published in Brazilian national scientific journals indexed in the SPELL electronic library. Social Network Analysis (SNA) techniques were used under one-mode and two-mode perspectives in 12 identified studies. The main results were: Silvio Luís de Vasconcellos was the most prolific author, and the most central. Mike W. Peng excelled in citing his scientific studies. The theme Internationalization was the most published and was highlighted in the degree. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The alienation and violence so often manifested in José Cardoso Pires' narrative appear associated with an environment of suffocation, motivated by a social structure that constantly threatens freedom, dignity and, in many cases, the lives of human beings. It is true that the Portuguese are beings full of history. There have always been those who lived in the shadow of Power, among various inquisitions, whose eyes -- a thousand -- always included bureaucrats on duty, putting at risk the freedom and rights of men, in a state of exception, this "point of imbalance between public law and private fact", according to Giorgio Agamben (State of exception, 2004, p. 11), tending "increasingly to present itself as a dominant government paradigm in contemporary politics." Two books of short narratives come to the public when neorealism is in full force, at a time when the Salazarist Estado Novo exercises its power of repression and censorship -- Os Caminheiros (1949) and Histórias de Amor (1952) -- the latter taken out of circulation by censorship on August 26 of the same year of its publication. With the publication of the volume Jogos de Azar, in 1963, stories from the two books were made public. In 2008, ten years after the death of its author, the second edition of Histórias de amor would be released, including the previously censored excerpts. It is with this book that I intend to pay homage to the author of O Delfim, twenty-five years after his death. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Based on the premise that a model of coherence emerges in Graciliano Ramos'work, that also explains real (extraliterary) socio-historical phenomena, I seek, in this article, to examine the function of the school in the structure of the novel São Bernardo. In the analysis, I highlight episodes of the narrative which expose Paulo Honório's treatment of the teachers Padilha and Madalena, and I relate these episodes to the general dynamics of the novel, in which the school is a key political instrument in a social domination structure in decline (Coronelismo).

The present study sought to identify the main implications that semi-culture and the individualization process have in triggering children's psychic suffering, guided by bibliographic research in light of the theoretical foundations of the Critical Theory of Society and the Theory of Risk Society, using the thoughts of Theodor W. Adorno and Ulrich Beck as the essence of the discussion. From this, it was identified that social organization, semi-culture, and individualization contribute to the development of psychological impasses at any time in life, but especially in childhood, as it is a period of identity construction. The individualization of social risks is correlated to the process of alienation - subsidized by semi-culture -, which intends to dissociate the contradictions and subjective impasses experienced by the individual from their context and socio-historical causes. Subjects are under a constant imperative of self-assessment and personal accountability, reducing the possibilities of re-signification of suffering and collective responses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article is part of more general issue of the relationship between nature and culture and its analysis subject is the relational binomial conflict and cooperation and their interfaces with the histories of ideas and social organization in Western societies. The purpose is to reflect on how different interaction forms established between humans throughout history have influenced the patterns of relationship between humans and nature. These, in turn, gave rise to the ways of life recognized by us today as those of premodern and modern societies. In order to demonstrate this statement, some central aspects of the scientific and philosophical thought evolution of both civilizations are compared, based on three general axes that define and distinguish them: 1) the cosmogonies and cosmologies; 2) the materialities engendered in the patterns of human-nature interactions; 3 the prevailing patterns of rationality. The final considerations bring some notes on contemporary human societies, suggesting that, in current times, despite the intensification of conflicts between nations and the revitalization of extreme right movements, or perhaps also because of this, there is a tendency towards equalization (greater symmetry) of the competition and cooperation principles within the fields of ideas, values and future civilizing projects, which puts us in a process of reorganization of action strategies to adapt to these inflections, generating results that are still unforeseen.

The article discusses the idea of an anthropology of Islam, addressing different perspectives on the object of study of this discipline. The author mentions that there are three possible answers to the question of what exactly is the anthropology of Islam: the first is that there is no theoretical object like Islam; the second is that Islam is a label for a heterogeneous collection of items considered Islamic by their sources; and the third is that Islam is a historical totality that organizes various aspects of social life. The text also mentions the work of Ernest Gellner, who presents an anthropological model of the characteristic forms in which social structure, religious belief, and political behavior interact in an Islamic totality. However, the author emphasizes the importance of examining the assumptions and concepts underlying these approaches. The text discusses the marginalization of Sephardic Judaism and Eastern Christianity in Western anthropology, which represents them as minor branches in the Middle East compared to Europe. The author questions this view and argues that Christian practice and discourse throughout history have been closely linked to political power, just like Islam. He also highlights the lack of curiosity among Muslim scholars regarding Christianity, while Roman Christians showed interest in the beliefs and practices of others. The author suggests that the differences are not intrinsic to Islam or Christianity, but rather the result of historically mutable systems of discipline. The text discusses the criticism of generalizing Islam and the diversity of beliefs and practices among Muslims. Anthropologists have tried to organize this diversity into categories of major and minor traditions, but without considering a unique and essential form of Islam. The dichotomy between orthodox and non-orthodox Islam was popularized by Western anthropologists. [Extracted from the article]

The book "Amazon: towards a knowledge-based economy of nature" by Ricardo Abramovay proposes a new development model for the Amazon, based on a knowledge-based economy that protects nature. The author criticizes the current model of exploitation and occupation of the region, which results in rampant deforestation and lack of effective environmental protection policies. The text discusses the importance of preserving the Amazon and the economic impacts of deforestation, highlighting the need for a new social and economic organization based on sustainable activities. The work also emphasizes the importance of conservation units in preserving biodiversity and the need for environmental education. [Extracted from the article]

We argue that the influence of social movements on public policies is marked by a bilateral porosity, in which movements seek to access the pores of the State and open themselves up for the State to permeate their organizations. Through two case studies, the mieib and the msttr, we show how such movements organize their spaces and events to include representatives of the State, who, in this contact, legitimize movement agendas, qualify themselves in the guidelines defended by the movements, and render accounts.

The rapid growth of research in the social impact business area, its emerging nature, and inspiration from different disciplines contribute to forming a very fragmented literature without dominant structures. Faced with this conceptual fragmentation and aiming to contribute to the strengthening of discussions in the academic environment, the present study proposes to carry out a bibliometric mapping of the scientific production built around the theme, considering international publications indexed in the Web of Science (WoS) between 1945 and 2020 to provide a comprehensive, longitudinal view of field development. The analysis of the evolution of publications; the authors who publish the most and the most cited; the most relevant articles; the most influential journals; the most frequent terms; and co-citation networks points out that there is a growth in academic production at a global level, marked by a wide variety of topics, the most relevant being: the tensions and dilemmas arising from the pursuit of paradoxical goals; the social and economic perspectives; behavioral/cultural dimensions; the variety of enterprises that fit this profile; the conceptual aspects; issues related to organizational hybridity; and the potential of these organizations in reducing social inequalities.
