L'article se penche sur la "participation" des populations à la régulation des techno-sciences et des techno-produits qui arrivent sur les marchés et affectent les modes de vie, l'environnement ou la santé. Une double thèse y est développée. La première conduit à la nécessité de réfléchir aux moyens de défendre et protéger celles et ceux qui interrogent les pratiques techno-industrielles (quant à la sécurité des systèmes mis en oeuvre par exemple) ou qui questionnent les certitudes académiques (lorsque celles-ci légifèrent trop vite sur des questions en jeu dans l'espace public). La deuxième thèse propose de placer la question de la participation dans des perspectives politiques et économiques plus vastes, en lien aux univers des marchés et de la politique professionnelle. Une conclusion majeure est que la participation est toujours invoquée formellement mais qu'on tend en pratique à réduire son usage aux cas exceptionnels où la bataille publique fait rage et ne peut être évitée ; dans les autres cas, on la contourne en la remplaçant par exemple par l'éthique instituée en comités – comités fermés mais censés "représenter la Société Civile", capables d'agir vite et, s'ils sont bien choisis, dans la bonne direction. On passe ainsi d'une régulation par la loi et le droit d'une part, des procédures participatives ouvertes de l'autre, à des formes de régulation fermées et ad hoc permettant la mise rapide sur le marché de nouvelles technologies. ; The article focuses on the "participation" of the populations in the regulation of techno-sciences and techno-products that get to the market and affect the way of life, the environment or health. In this case, a double thesis is developed. The first leads to the need to reflect on the means of defending and protecting those who challenge techno-industrial practices (for example, regarding the safety of the implemented systems) or those who question academic certainty (when these legislate very fast on issues at play in the public sphere). The second thesis proposes to place the issue of participation in wider political and economic perspectives, in relation to the market and professional politics. In the end, it is realized that participation is always formally invoked, but, in actual fact, the trend is to reduce participation to exceptional cases where the public struggle is violent and cannot be avoided; and in other cases it is sidestepped or forgotten, being substituted by ethics instituted in committees – closed committees, but supposedly "representing Civil Society", able to move rapidly and, if well chosen, in the right direction. Thus, going from one regulation by the law and by rights, onone side, and participative processes, on the other, to closed and ad hoc forms of regulation allowing for the fast introduction of new technologies in the markets.

The STS movement, which emerged in embryonic in the middle of last century and made over the decades, remains relevant to the society we live in. Thus, it is recurrent the need for a participation of this society in the direction given to the scientific and technological activity, demanding more democratic decisions. In this sense the research is based on the questionings: what is the characterization of educational practices carried out in STS field in Basic Education and in teacher training?; And, as has been the participation of society in scientific and technological development? As objectives, we seek: (i) identify which subjects have participated in decision-making on scientific and technological development, and how; (ii) analyze data referrals in respect of educational practices STS; (iii) to investigate whether the STS assumptions are advancing the Academy to implement educational practices; (iv) to point out horizons for Science Education in the perspective of curricular settings guided by the constitution of a culture of participation. It is a bibliographical research whose methodology was the Discursive Textual Analysis, composed of unitarization, categorization and communication. The corpus of analysis emerged four categories: 1) Limitations practices STS implemented; 2) Methodological aspects of practicas STS; 3) Social participation in the development of ST in classrooms; 4) Justifications for insertion of STS practices.

A intelectualidade vivencia uma ruptura com os padrões de consagração vigentes na Primeira República. A partir da tomada do poder por Getúlio Vargas e a Revolução de 1930, tem-se início um novo cenário político. Devido à queda do preço do café, o modelo agroexportador encontrava-se em processo de decadência, pois já não era mais possível manter artificialmente o valor deste produto. Somam-se a este fator as restrições provocadas pela crise financeira de 1929, o que implicou na queda da demanda externa e no surgimento de novos competidores. Neste contexto, os intelectuais estão subordinados de um modo mais intenso à conjuntura política do que propriamente às questões culturais. A função e atuação dos intelectuais ultrapassam, desta maneira, o campo estritamente intelectual e adentram o do político. Assim, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo demonstrar a relação entre a modernização brasileira e o desenvolvimento institucional e intelectual das Ciências Sociais no Brasil. ; La intelectualidad experimenta una ruptura con los estándares de consagración vigentes en la Primera República.

A este factor se suman las restricciones causadas por la crisis financiera de 1929, que implicó una caída de la demanda externa y la aparición de nuevos competidores. En este contexto, los intelectuales están más fuertemente subordinados a la situación política que a los asuntos culturales. La función y el desempeño de los intelectuales, de esta manera, van más allá del campo estrictamente intelectual y entran en el de lo político. Así, el presente trabajo tiene como objetivo demostrar la relación entre la modernización brasileña y el desarrollo institucional e intelectual de las Ciencias Sociales en Brasil. ; Intellectuality experiences a rupture with the standards of consecration in force in the First Republic. From the seizure of power by Getúlio Vargas and the 1930 Revolution, a new political scenario began. Due to the drop in the price of coffee, the agro-export model was in a process of decay, as it was no longer possible to artificially maintain the value of this product. Added to this factor are the restrictions caused by the financial crisis of 1929, which implied a drop in external demand and the emergence of new competitors. In this context, intellectuals are more intensely subordinated to the political situation than to cultural issues. The function and performance of intellectuals, in this way, go beyond the strictly intellectual field and enter that of the political. Thus, the present work aims to demonstrate the relationship between Brazilian modernization and the institutional and intellectual development of Social Sciences in Brazil.

This article seeks to discuss the vision of the 'social' in the field called social determinants of health. For this, bibliographical research was conducted, based on references from the field of human sciences, by authors such as Latour (2012) and Santos (1988). It begins with a general characterization of the field of social determinants of health, especially political and scientific views. Then, it presents the critical elements characterizing paths on the thinking of these authors. The study sought to highlight reductionism increasingly present in the approach to the field of social determinants of health. These reductionisms that ultimately limit further reading about the complexity of life in society and reinforce the commodification and trivialization of life. Santos (1988) notes that, in front of these reductionism, science cannot be merely producing a scientific paradigm, but also a social paradigm - the paradigm of a decent life. The thinking of Latour (2012) brought arguments to rethink the 'social' beyond a specific and limited domain of reality, as something always external to the subject and to their own health. The fragmented view of the field of social determinants of health is what we put into analysis and make inquiries as a way to raise future discussions on the topic.

The situation John Godfrey Saxe describes in his 19th century poem retelling the parable of the blind men and the elephant is not unlike the birthing pains of the emerging discourse between Western and Indigenous Knowledges. In this paper I propose that the "disputations" have nothing to do with such reified notions as "clash of ideologies" or "metaphysics," but are rather more semiological in nature. Semiotics, to which linguistics belongs, is an undiscovered country whose vistas may provide more efficacious roadmaps to meaningful communications between disparate knowledges – i.e., Western Science and Indigenous Knowledge. I propose to examine a specific case of a wildlife management issue in Nunavut, Canada, whose outcomes will determine not only the viability of a species but the quality of the relationship between Inuit Qaujimaningit and Governments. The original article is in Inuktitut. ; La situación que describe John Godfrey Saxe en su poema del siglo XIX, donde cuenta la parábola de los ciegos y el elefante, no es tan diferente de las dolorosas complicaciones presentes en el discurso emergente entre los saberes occidentales y los saberes indígenas. En este artículo propongo que las "disputas" entre estos saberes no derivan de conceptos codificados como "conflicto de ideologías" o "metafísica", sino son más bien de naturaleza semiológica. La semiótica, a donde pertenece la lingüística, es un territorio ignoto cuyos panoramas pueden brindar mapas eficaces para una comunicación más llena de sentido entre saberes distintos, en este caso la ciencia occidental y el conocimiento indígena. Propongo examinar un caso específico, el tema de la administración de la vida salvaje en Nunavut, Canadá, cuyos resultados determinarán no solo la viabilidad de una especie sino también la calidad de la relación entre Inuit Qaujimaningit y los gobiernos. El artículo original está en inuktitut. ; La situation décrite par John Godfrey Saxe dans son poème du 19e siècle, qui relate la parabole des aveugles et de l'éléphant, ne diffère pas des douleurs d'élaboration des nouveaux discours entre les connaissances occidentales et indigènes. Dans le présent article, je suggère que les « conflits » n'ont rien à voir avec les notions réifiées « d'affrontements idéologiques » ou de « métaphysique », mais sont plutôt de nature sémiologique. La sémiotique, à laquelle appartient la linguistique, est un pays inconnu dont les perspectives pourraient offrir plus de détails pour des communications significatives entre les connaissances disparates – par exemple, la science occidentale et les connaissances indigènes. Je propose d'examiner un cas spécifique, le problème de gestion de la faune sauvage dans la province du Nunavut au Canada, dont les résultats détermineront non seulement la viabilité d'une espèce, mais aussi la qualité de la relation entre Inuit Qaujimaningit et les gouvernements. L'article original a été rédigé en inuktitut. ; A situação que John Godfrey Saxe descreve em seu poema do século XIX que reconta a parábola dos homens cegos e do elefante não difere das dores do parto do discurso emergente entre as sabedorias ocidentais e indígenas. Neste artigo, proponho que as "disputas" não têm nada a ver com as noções reificadas como "choque de ideologias" ou "metafísicas", mas que são, em vez disso, de uma natureza mais semiológica. A semiótica, campo ao qual a linguística pertence, é um país não descoberto cujas vistas podem proporcionar mapas mais eficazes para comunicações significativas entre sabedorias díspares, isto é, a Ciência Ocidental e a Sabedoria Indígena. Proponho-me a analisar um caso de gestão da vida selvagem em Nunavut, Canadá, cujos resultados determinarão não apenas a viabilidade de uma espécie, mas a qualidade das relações entre Inuit Qaujimaningit e governos.

Cet article vise à présenter une réflexion sur la protection de l'environnement et la politique économique durable, en considérant certains éléments substantiels de la théorie des jeux appliquée aux réfugiés environnementaux, ainsi que sa rationalité procédurale analysée à la lumière du développement durable. En outre, les récentes catastrophes environnementales mettent en évidence les impacts économiques et la problématique des risques que la société mondiale endure. Ces impacts ne se limitent pas aux aspects économiques, mais reflètent également sur les marchés sociaux, de la santé, de la sécurité sanitaire, du travail et des finances. À travers une synthèse scientifique, cet article utilise la méthode de la recherche déductive et exploratoire, basée sur l'analyse des références d'articles et des études bibliographiques.

This work aimed to evaluate social vulnerability based on population characteristics as a means of indicating the possible intra-urban spaces with greater chances of dispersion and contagion by COVID-19. From variables that explain social characteristics and amplify the vulnerability of individuals, information from IBGE was selected, treated by factor analysis and mapped, according to an adaptation of the methodology developed by the Center for Social Studies in Coimbra. The scale of coverage chosen was that of census sectors, based on three municipalities in the state of RS/BR. The analysis resulted in 21 variables that make it possible to classify five dimensions of vulnerability, indicating the places where prevention actions to the contagion should be more incisive, given the population characteristics, and the vulnerability of urban peripheries was evidenced. The grouping of information expressed social dimensions that denote auxiliary aspects in the understanding of territory and social vulnerability on a local scale. The methodology demonstrated can be easily adopted in different scales and regions. This study will enable decisions to be taken in order to avoid contagion, and to provide information to support the development of plans for the gradual resumption of economic and social activities. ; Este trabajo pretendía evaluar la vulnerabilidad social a partir de las características de la población como medio para indicar los posibles espacios intraurbanos con mayores posibilidades de dispersión y contagio por COVID-19.

Festivities not always are taken seriously as objects of study, but they have long attracted the attention of social scientists and other researchers. However, its analysis tends to be restricted and enclosed in some classical conceptions that, although relevant and useful, have become mere buzzwords and do not live up to the richness and complexity of this field of study. This article aims to provide some insights for the analysis of the festivities, focusing particularly on carnival and the way it has been treated by Social Sciences. It begins by exposing and discussing some theoretical recurrences – namely the theories of inversion, escape valve, resistance and communitas – and then presents other analytical perspectives that look at different facets of the festivities – cultural, social, economic and political – thus suggesting more in-depth and committed approaches to social reality and less hostage to the abstraction and dryness of theoretical models. ; As festas nem sempre são objetos de estudo levados a sério, mas atraem há muito a atenção de cientistas sociais e outros investigadores. No entanto, a sua análise tende a restringir-se e fechar-se nalgumas conceções clássicas que, sendo relevantes e úteis, tornaram-se meros chavões e não fazem jus à riqueza e complexidade deste campo de estudo. Este artigo pretende fornecer alguns subsídios para a análise da festa, focando-se particularmente no carnaval e no modo como este tem sido tratado pelas Ciências Sociais. Começa por expor e discutir algumas recorrências teóricas – designadamente as teorias da inversão, da válvula de escape, da resistência e da communitas – para depois apresentar outras perspetivas de análise que olham para diferentes facetas da festa – cultural, social, económica e política – sugerindo assim abordagens mais aprofundadas e comprometidas com a realidade social e menos reféns da abstração e secura dos modelos teóricos.
