This paper discusses how pluractionality is expressed in Macuxi (Cariban), a South American Indigenous language spoken in Brazil, Guyana and Venezuela. Cross-linguistically, the multiplicity of an action can be expressed by means of specialized pluractional morphemes affixed on verbs, via adverbs, or by reduplication. Previous work on Macuxi claimed that the iterative suffix -pîtî indicates a multiplicity of actions, whereas verbal reduplication is mentioned but scarcely described, and is associated with the interpretation of multiple events. Based on data from context-based elicitation, we show that verbal reduplication is impacted by Aktionsart (activity and semelfactive verbs, which denote unbounded, atelic events, have a higher tendency to be reduplicated) and that reduplicated verbs are often associated with an intensity interpretation. On the other hand, the suffix -pîtî functions as a pluractional marker that encodes a multiplicity of events and is predictable via a Lasersohnian analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article intends to outline a historical reconstitution of the configuration process of the field of popular education in Brazil, comprising its trajectory and its theoretical-conceptual development from the 1950s to the present day. This is a study with a qualitative approach built from bibliographical research with a descriptive characteristic, which was based on the narrative type review modality. As a result, different experiences, and historical moments of popular education in Brazil are characterized, for example: a) from the genesis to the process of disarticulation; b) the intensification of repression resulting from the civil-military dictatorship to the spread of practices across different sectors; c) from the emergence of new guidelines to the reinvention of the field of popular education; d) from political achievements to institutional challenges. Next, an attempt is made to outline a possible characterization of what popular education is in its multiplicity of perspectives. Finally, it is concluded that, in addition to understanding popular education as a political-pedagogical practice, understandings of this as a theory, a field of knowledge construction, an organized civil society movement, and public policy.

This article explores the intertwined poetics and politics of Léopold Sédar Senghor in the Luso-Afro-Atlantic worlds. The main purpose is to unveil a pivotal dimension of his cosmopolitanism that has been ignored by a literature centered on the Anglophone and Francophone languages and cultures. A poem published in the book Nocturnes and speeches delivered during travels to Brazil and Portugal as head of state make evident the important relation between Senghor's poetics, his politics of a third world alliance, and ideas such as "Racial Democracy" and "Lusotropicalism." My analysis sheds light on the poetic principles guiding Léopold Senghor's imagination of the Lusophone worlds, his readings of Gilberto Freyre's ideas, as well as his speeches in Brazil. The conclusion considers the complex connections between racial exceptionalism and Afro-Atlantic cosmopolitanism, emphasizing the multiplicity of aesthetics and political entanglements. O artigo explora os entrelaçamentos poéticos e políticos de Léopold Sédar Senghor com os mundos luso-afro-atlânticos. O propósito é revelar uma dimensão importante do cosmopolitismo de Senghor ignorada pela literatura centrada nos mundos anglófonos e francófonos. Um poema publicado no livro Nocturnes e discursos realizados durante viagens ao Brasil e a Portugal evidenciam os nexos entre a poética de Senghor, as políticas de uma aliança terceiro-mundista e as noções de "Democracia Racial" e "Lusotropicalismo." Minha análise enfatiza os princípios poéticos que orientam a imaginação de Léopold Senghor sobre os mundos lusófonos, sua interpretação das ideias de Gilberto Freyre, assim como os seus discursos no Brasil. A conclusão pondera sobre a complexidade das cone-xões entre excepcionalismo racial e cosmopolitismo afro-atlântico, sublinhando a multiplicidade de estéticas e de entrelaçamentos políticos.

In the light of new challenges posed to processes of deinstitutionalization by Brazil's mental health reform, this study explores the production of existential territories in the city by recording the experiences of users of a psychosocial care center in São Paulo. Using methods based on social cartography, including the creation of affective maps and accompanying participants on routes around the city, it was possible to understand how participants weave multiplicities of living territories and networks throughout their itineraries, breaking free from places instituted by the asylum logic and cementing the principles of deinstitutionalization in the micropolitics of their everyday lives. During this process, the participants'experiences stimulated reflections on the kind of cities we want to build, collectively reinventing urban territories, making them more sensitive and permeable to instituting forces and creating new ways of living together and producing differences. At the same time, they stimulate reflection on how these singular experiences of the city can be incorporated into and enhance the therapeutic itineraries of clinical practices based on the "logic of territory".

One of the most pressing challenges in anti-corruption law is whether and how to coordinate enforcement across multiple agencies, that is to say, under conditions of institutional multiplicity. One approach is modular enforcement, which involves dividing responsibility for enforcement among multiple institutions that are able, but not required, to coordinate their activities. The relatively impressive performance of Brazil's anti-corruption agencies around the beginning of the twentieth century has been attributed to this kind of institutional modularity. We examine whether other similarly situated countries adopted the Brazilian approach. Specifically, we compare the extent to which the modular approach to anti-corruption enforcement was reflected in the national anti-corruption institutions of Brazil and five other South American countries as of 2014. We find little evidence that Brazil's neighbors adopted the modular approach and suggest a variety of political, intellectual and institutional factors that may limit the attraction of institutional modularity outside the Brazilian context. Our analysis also demonstrates the value of an approach to comparative legal analysis which extends beyond the judiciary and the police to cover the full range of institutions involved in law enforcement.

Local phase filters as the tilt derivative (TDR) and the horizontal tilt derivative (TDX) are extensively used to interpret magnetic data. We use two combinations of these filters, namely TDR − TDX and TDR + TDX, to design a constraining mask that guides the Euler deconvolution moving data window. The TDR − TDX filter produces sharp peaks over the centers of the sources, while the TDR + TDX filter generates plateaus over them. Motivated by previous approaches that make use of the Laplacian filter or the analytic signal to constrain the Euler deconvolution window, we compute the solutions for windows centered at points that (1) have positive values of TDR − TDX and (2) are contained in the plateaus of TDR + TDX. The use of both criteria improves the selection of source-related points while reducing the number of spurious ones. Our method is tested in synthetic anomalies due to interfering dike-like sources and field data from southeast Brazil. The experiments show that the use of a constraining mask based on combined tilt filters produce Euler solutions that are more contiguous and less sensitive to noise than the traditional located-Euler deconvolution.

Studying Protestantism is a fascination for many researchers for the last few years. The thematic core of this article is made up by its multiplicity, embodied combinations and constant metamorphosis. As a sample of a portion of that reality, this study encompasses both a dialogue with theorists of history and sociology who have dealt with this subject, as an approach to stories and experiences of practitioners of a religious community in Londrina, Parana. From this combination of looks, it is admitted that manifestation of sacred in this environment is not a consequence of mere repetition of patterns, but recreation, reinventions of tradition, from a simple people faith experience in their private life context. In addition to that, both in discourses and religious practices have occurred ruptures, as going to flexibility as going to a reinforcement of religious trenches. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
