The publication of the work "The Sense of Beauty" by the philosopher George Santayana marks the maturity of American aesthetics. From a naturalistic psychological approach he turns to the question of beauty to understand why, how and where beauty arises, the conditions necessary for its formation and the elements that help its flowering. Despite its importance, since the philosopher's death in 1952, his work has fallen into a semi forgotten stage. The purpose of this work is precisely to recover from the historical limbo this work so relevant to clarify how Santayana treated the problem of beauty of his youth work.

This article aims to analyze, from the work Truth and Method, as main perspectives that can support a hermeneutic philosophical device inherent as human sciences. The main hypothesis is that Gadamer develops a non-methodological reflection for human sciences guided by the inextricable relationship between critical hermeneutics and language, understood as the dialogic way of interpreting interpretation. To develop such a hypothesis, three moments are relevant: the first moment presents Gadamer's non-methodological path from the appropriation of the concepts of touch, game and art. In the second moment, the security or maturation of hermeneutic devices in the human sciences, based on the notion of hermeneutics of fatality developed by Heidegger. In the third moment, use the approximation between hermeneutics and language as a point of dialogue with tradition, thus bringing it to the fore of the historic and effective conscience. It was concluded that the hermeneutic constitution of the human sciences has as main objective to prepare a hermeneutic conscience.

This essay wishes to debate the concept of History in Karl Marx's work, in opposition to the "end of History" theory proposed by Francis Fukuyama. In a historic setting that involved the end of the communist era in the Soviet Union and in Eastern Europe, the American author introduces his ideas about the victory of liberal democracy being the culminating point in the history of humanity. Well, to what extent is it possible to consider a system like the one advocated by Fukuyama as the ultimate goal of mankind? Furthermore, to what extent can we consider that there actually is a goal that humanity is seeking to achieve? This essay intends to answer these questions through a Marxist understanding of History.

This article presents a comparative analysis of two concepts proposed and developed in two very different areas: the concept of themata, proposed by Gerald Holton in the area of ​​the history of science and related to the processes of production and diffusion of scientific knowledge, and the concept of Pathosformeln, proposed by Aby Warburg in the area of history of art and related to some important historical and epochal continuities of artistic production. Despite the very different disciplinary contexts in which they were proposed, and despite the specificities that naturally ensure the identity of each of the concepts, it is shown in this article how themata and Pathosformeln have undeniable and important affinities. In fact, both correspond to entities that have a long historical persistence, a cyclical nature, and a great disciplinary, cultural and epochal transversality, in conjunction with a great capacity to assume specific forms at a given time and in a given context. Despite the roots in very different areas, the affinities are strong enough to recognize that themata and Pathosformeln belong to a conceptual network with great potential for understanding, not only the science and art, but also the historical and transdisciplinary dynamics of culture in general.

The general objective of this article is to discuss the concept of genealogy created by Friedrich Nietzsche. Our hypothesis is that Nietzsche allies himself to a certain notion of history to create this concept. It is then a matter of investigating to what extent Nietzsche takes history as a hieroglyphic writing and how this conception of history cannot be thought of from his understanding of origins. Thus, the relationship that Nietzsche establishes with history is another, which does not belong to the traditional register. For, if metaphysics can make history an objective science in which it is possible to define an absolute, a constant, and from there to trace a teleological movement, Nietzsche thinks of history as discontinuity, betting on the singularity of the event. Finally, we will point to the dimension of laughter inherent to this record of history, and how the genealogist's laughter would be a kind of protection against scientific seriousness for the realization of his gay science.

Este artigo apresenta uma leitura crítica do conteúdo de dois filmes que abordam o preconceito racial. Foram selecionados os filmes: Um grito de liberdade e Sarafina o som da liberdade, como fonte de pesquisa. O objetivo é investigar os aspectos culturais, econômicos, sociais e políticos da África, a fim de propor uma metodologia de análise fílmica, com base nos Estudos Culturais. De que maneira o cinema, ao mostrar os conflitos sociais gerados pelas leis raciais, pode contribuir para formar professores mais preparados e capazes de lidar com o racismo e o preconceito na sala de aula? No espaço escolar, esses filmes analisados na perspectiva de Douglas Kellner, Michel Foucault e Stuart Hall, podem ampliar a nossa compreensão sobre a lógica da dominação pela segregação racial e contribuir para mobilizar ações de valorização e de reconhecimento da história e cultura africana e afro-brasileiro.

Este artigo tem como objetivo relatar a experiência da Universidade Federal de Rondônia – UNIR com o ambiente AVA TelEduc, destacando sua história, bem como a aceitação por alunos e professores das mais variadas disciplinas e cursos desta IFES, além de analisar questões de ordem mais técnica que a Plataforma TelEduc nos apresentou durante os anos em que o ambiente foi adotado como recurso didático-tecnológico nas atividades docentes desde a sala de aula universitária. Nossa experiência com este ambiente data de 2004 e, devido a problemas técnicos, somente volta a funcionar em nossa universidade em 2008, agora como parte de um projeto do Laboratório Didático-Pedagógico Multimídia – Labmídia. Em 2009/2010 o destaque foi a mudança de versão da 3.3.8 para 4.2.1 e adesão dos cursos do PARFOR. Alguns aspectos foram tomados como considerações desta experiência com o TelEduc: boa aceitação do ambiente como recurso tecnológico ao ensino presencial; mostrou-se um ambiente de fácil utilização e robusto; têm ferramentas de aprendizagem interativa que proporcionam aos alunos uma aprendizagem prazerosa; a ferramenta bate-papo pode ser melhorada quanto a inserção de recursos de áudio; o código fonte do TelEduc deve ser reescrito para substituir tags em desuso. Entretanto, o nosso maior desafio continua sendo vencer as dificuldades próprias de viver e trabalhar numa região como a Amazônia, distante de quase tudo, mas, ao mesmo tempo, grandiosa em suas possibilidades, e a adoção de ferramentas da Educação a Distância é estratégica para o desenvolvimento sustentável da região.

Alternative means of dispute resolution are sought a long time as an access to justice more humane. Without the imposition of an intervening power, the parties have gain more autonomy in their decisions. The extension project of the Federal University of Paraíba "Citizenship in Extension: Access to Justice and Conflict Mediation", linked to the Reference Center for Human Rights (CRDH) aims to address the theme "Access to Justice", using one of the extrajudicial dispute resolution methods, namely: Mediation. The Mandacaru and Jardim Veneza's Reference Center for Citizenship in João Pessoa/PB, were the spaces chosen in the first year of the project, where residents discussed their problems in these localities, in order to build possible plans of action. The following year, the Guardian Council has become the chosen space, working directly with the Mediation. Building a sense of unity among residents of a community is one of the goals of this project with respect to collective issues. And mediation, with respect to individual issues. With the prospect of working together, this project follows its activity, achieving its main goals: empowering individuals and fostering active citizenship.

Sartre, in the work Notebooks for an Ethics (1947-1948), presents notes on the dimension of history that begins to develop initially within his moral reflection. Sartre, however, does not have a finalized version of his theory of history, linking his reflection to a comparison and critique of Hegel's philosophy of history and Marxian historical materialism. The aim of this article is to analyze Sartre's critique of Hegel in the Notebooks for an Ethics about history, showing an outline of Sartre's initial views on history. Sartre makes extensive use of a critique of the possibility of Hegelian dialectics, questioning the dimension of this movement of the real as true. It analyzes the idealization of this movement in the dialectic of the master and the slave in works such as Phenomenology of the Spirit (1807) and discusses the notion of the totality of history. Sartre suggests, based on this critique, his own notion of history linked to a de-totalized totality and a historical becoming centered on freedom.
