The purpose of this study is to identify the functions of the concept of the political and to demonstrate its heuristic potential. The paper examines the concept of the political in its associative and dissociative interpretations. The phenomenon of the existence of the political and its dependence on the modern understanding of society is considered. Using M. Foucault's work, heuristic potential of the political is shown.

In this paper, we argue that in order to bind Teach For All's universal/izing statement of problems and solutions to the specificities and the special conditions of member programs' local contexts, what is needed is a shared set of discursive practices, a way of bringing together the commonalities found in each country while separating the noise of particular politics and histories. That common set of discursive practices is shaped around the notion of data. This paper is structured as follows: First, we contextualize Teach for All by (briefly) juxtaposing the universal and specific elements of the network, including the organization's mission, target population, its recruits (and recruiting tactics), vision, and its production of a particular kind of teacher. Then, we present the two competing, yet complementary, logics of data that are at play in Teach for All – the use of data itself and the notion of data speak – along with their underlying assumptions. We conclude by questioning the logics of this set of discursive practices, and outline our skepticism regarding how data is mobilized to produce particular subjectivities and objects. ; En este trabajo, argumentamos que para ligar la declaración universal/izante de problemas y soluciones propuestas por Teach For All a las especificidades y condiciones especiales del contexto local de cada programa, se necesita de un conjunto de prácticas discursivas compartidas, esto es, una forma de entablar elementos comunes entre cada país, y separarlas del ruido producido por historias y políticas particulares. Ese conjunto de prácticas discursivas se conforma alrededor de la noción del dato. La estructura de este trabajo es la siguiente: primero, contextualizamos Teach For All brevemente yuxtaponiendo los elementos universales y particulares de la red, incluyendo la misión de la organización, la población a la que se dirige, sus reclutas (y técnicas de reclutamiento), visión, y su producción de un tipo particular de docente. Luego, presentamos dos lógicas complementarias y en competencia que son puestas en juego por Teach For All – el uso de datos y la noción de un lenguaje de datos – junto a sus suposiciones subyacentes. Concluimos cuestionando las lógicas de este conjunto de prácticas discursivas, y esbozamos nuestro escepticismo en torno a las formas en las que los datos son movilizados para producir ciertas subjetividades y ciertos objetos. ; Neste artigo, propomos que para ligar a declaração universal/izante de problemas e soluções apresentadas por Teach For All às especificidades e condições particulares dos contextos locais de seus programas parceiros, é necessário estabelecer um conjunto de práticas discursivas compartilhadas que possa juntar tudo o que estes vários contextos nacionais têm em comum e ao mesmo tempo manter à parte o ruído de suas histórias e políticas individuais. Este conjunto de práticas discursivas compartilhadas é baseado no conceito de dados. A estrutura deste artigo segue assim: primeiro, contextualizamos Teach For All justapondo brevemente os elementos universais e específicos da rede, incluíndo a missão da organização, seu público alvo, suas recrutas (e táticas de recrutamento), sua visão, e sua maneira de produzir um certo tipo de professor. Depois, apresentamos as duas lógicas (concorrentes e ao mesmo tempo complementares) de dados usados em jogo por Teach For All – o uso de dados em si e a noção de uma linguagem de dados – juntos com suas suposições subjacentes. Concluimos ao questionar a lógica deste conjunto de práticas discursivas, e elaboramos nosso ceticismo em relação a esta mobilização de dados para produzir subjetividades e objetos específicos.

This study examined cultural variations in parental goals of storytelling and story constructions to and with young children. Sixty-five (34 East India; 36 USA) mothers and their four-to-five year old children were audio taped as they read a non-worded picture storybook. East India mothers told longer stories that included more evaluative comments and responses to their child's questions than US mothers. Content and evaluation of character and story action reflected cultural themes of collectivism of India and individualism of USA. Enculturation through storytelling is discussed.

AbstractThis article seeks to address a thematic thread that remains relatively unexplored in historical disaster research—victimhood—through an analysis of publications by disaster relief funds and their supporters in the aftermath of the 1934 earthquake in Bihar in northern India. By examining the representations of victimhood, I aim to explore the historical significance of perceptions and constructions of victimhood in the late colonial period. Based on photographs, illustrations, and descriptions of suffering in images and texts, the article suggests that constructions of victimhood effectively relied on imagery that contained, on the one hand, an absence of bodies and, on the other, a feminized anthropomorphization of suffering. The narratives underlying such depictions of earthquake victims are based on a constitution of victimhood that relied on contemporary historical and culturally founded imageries. The analysis of images and texts focuses on how representations of disaster victims were effective in communicating suffering to audiences. I tentatively argue that historically and culturally founded tropes of what constituted a victim formed along two narratives of victimhood that appealed to a colonial and a nationalist readership respectively. These conceptualizations of victimhood formed the basis for collecting aid for relief and reconstruction, rather than the loss of life, dispossession, social marginalization, and displacement suffered by victims of the earthquake.

Scholars have long recognized that ethnographic method is bound up with the construction of theory in ways that are difficult to teach. The reason, Allaine Cerwonka and Liisa H. Malkki argue, is that ethnographic theorization is essentially improvisatory in nature, conducted in real time and in necessarily unpredictable social situations. In a unique account of, and critical reflection on, the process of theoretical improvisation in ethnographic research, they demonstrate how both objects of analysis, and our ways of knowing and explaining them, are created and discovered in the give and take

In both countries, France and Germany, there is great pressure to change and adapt towards new forms of urbanity and to conceive new strategic approaches with limited public finance and a need for economic efficiency. Not all types of urban areas are equally affected by these issues. The book aims to do justice to this situation, considering in both cases the context of the national urban systems. As it proved impossible to address all the topics relevant to the spatial development of urban and rural areas, the authors decided to concentrate on a number of important topical themes which are undoubtedly relevant in both countries, albeit in different ways, and which could be significant for a comparison. The focus is thus on issues related to metropolises, small and medium-sized towns and particularly current issues of urbanity, sustainability, Smart Cities, transport and mobility, and the role of crossborder urban development. The structure of the chapters is conceived in these terms. Besides scientific and theoretical approaches, the authors also consider the practical planning perspective and methodological aspects of the topic at hand. They mainly address three relevant factors: the differences between the two institutional systems, the development paths and historical constants, and how new challenges are addressed on both sides of the border.

The construction industry is a sector that has a high level of risk both in terms of business risks, occupational health and safety risks. The lack of OHS implementation, resulting in increased work accidents in construction projects. OHS in the Construction Industry needs special attention, it can cause harm to workers, employers, the government and the community, which can be human casualties, property damage and the environment around the project. This study aims to determine the application of OSH in the New Building Care project at Nagan Raya Hospital and to determine the factors that influence OSH in the project. OSH evaluation is carried out by giving questionnaires to the project implementers then performed univariate and bivariate analysis to determine the relationship between variables. The number of respondents 25 people. The results obtained are the most dominant age 16-20 years and at least 42-44 years. The highest level of education in the group without school and the lowest S. The average work period of workers is 10-15 years by 40%. The results of univariate analysis, the frequency distribution for answers "less" is 61.5% for site managers, as well as implementers who answer "no" with a frequency of 60.0% and supervisors 41.7%. This indicates the lack of application of OSH to the project concerned. This is due to the lack of knowledge about OSH management systems and concepts both from the site manager as the project manager, implementer and supervisor so that workers do not get a proper understanding of the OSH.

The Itaparica region located between Pernambuco and Bahia had got part of his territory flooded due to the construction of the reservoir of the Luiz Gonzaga Hydroeletric, built in 1988. About 10,500 families were transferred to resettlement areas as result of the reservoir construction. More than 21,000 people lived in urban areas and more than 19,000 in rural areas. The resettlement were used construct new cities and areas with irrigated settlements and small villages (agrovilas). The resettlements of Apolônio Sales, Icó-Mandantes and Barreiras Bl2 are the oldest in the Petrolândia Municipality, only the first present different infrastructure. This research aims to discuss the challenges in land management of the irrigated schemes of Chesf in Petrolândia after the Itaparica reservoir construction. Field works, including interviews and workshops using the Constellation Analysis methodology was used as tool in the elaboration of this study. Currently the agrovilas are with an outdated water supply and treatment system most likely causing health issues for the resettled people. The agrovila area presents a disorderly urban increase, normally caused because of immigrants who came to the irrigated scheme to work in the farming or to invest in the agriculture. They also expand new irrigated schemes through inappropriate areas, leaving residential garbage in the native vegetation and using water uncontrolled, causing reduction in the water supply. The debate over the water and land access and the effective action of the public power together with the producers are urgent to solve the existing problems in the resettlements.

Introduction: Machado de Assis was the main name of Brazilian Realism and his literary production is marked by the use of irony as a stylistic principle in describing Brazilian society in his works. Purpose: The aim of this research is to analyze the Machado de Assis short stories called 'A confissão de uma viúva moça' and 'Miss Dollar', and verify how the construction of meaning on social issues and peculiarities of literary language, manifest themselves in the language resources created by the author and in the critical and ironic development done over the society.

Theoretical Basis: For this, we take as theoretical basis, mainly, the reflections on Dialogism and Irony addressed by authors that deal with the question proposed from the Circle of Bakhtin. Preliminary Results: Expected to check how the dialogical relations are established in the construction of meanings of the two short stories considering the timeless social issues and the criticism of society that still lingers, as well as, check how the irony, while dialogic relationship that directs sense, it is present in the texts.

The tourism industry is one of the largest industries in the world. The tourism industry can absorb the labor force in large numbers, to increase income and economy and can provide a large contribution to a country. As one of the world's largest industry, tourism development is expected to boost the economy so as to improve the welfare of the community in which tourism is developed. The development of tourism must be supported by all aspects and tourism support facilities such as: place of accommodation (accommodation facilities: e.g. hotels, villas, etc.), restaurant, travel agent, money changer, transportation, infrastructure and tourism destinations that are offered to tourists. The aim of this research is to determine how the impact of the construction of tourist accommodation facilities, especially construction of villas in Bali towards sustainable tourism and fatherly looking out strategies that must be done to achieve sustainable tourism in Bali in the future. Type of data used was qualitative and quantitative data obtained from literature study, documentation and interviews via email. The analysis uses descriptive qualitative analysis method. The results showed that in terms of economic development of the construction of the villa has a positive impact on increasing revenue. In addition to the positive impact on increasing revenue, negative impact that posed that is productive agricultural land is reduced so that the diminishing agricultural output each year, and pollution to the environment. In realizing sustainable tourism required an appropriate strategy like development of ecotourism and government policies as well as good cooperation between the government and the tourism industry.
