The article discusses the production of identities, differences & power relations in mental health institutions. The study focuses on the new constitution of public policies, which involve the activities that mental health workers in contact with people who look for this health services. The main purpose of these public policies is that assistant nurses in general become workers in mental health services. The work is based on the concepts of identities & difference derived from the field of Cultural Studies & from a Foucaultian approach. The analysis is constructed upon interviews with assistants nurses, men & women who work in a psychiatric hospital in the public service in the city of Porto Alegre. Also, the law 9716 of 1992 that deals with psychiatric reform in mental health work helps the discussion of the problem.

In the 1970s & 1980s, migratory flows of Portuguese & luso-Africans from old Portuguese African colonies towards to Sao Paulo were the result of the pressures of difficult & complex African & Portuguese politics. Three very different cultural experiences were in play: that of the portuguese colony, the african context, & the Brazilian character of the destination, Sao Paulo. This paper explores the migrant's complex displacement experiences, the insertion of the migrant into the new context & the conflicts of identity that this migratory process entailed. We concentrate on the recent past, which has not been extensively researched. We use a method we call 'summarized life-histories', which seemed appropriate, as we didn't know what the immigrants would tell us. We present a number of specific cases to exemplify our analysis. Through them, we can see that memories refer to events, people & places from the three continents, through the conscious & unconscious construction of multiple identities.
Territories are composed of the excluded, groups of people who have been marginalized by production process someway. To identify those groups and discover their location is important to comprehend territorial vitality. Therefore, this paper aims to detect the excluded groups within Tocantins state by using data of the demographic census determined by IBGE in 2010. It can be asserted that Afro-American and American-Indian, ethnic groups traditionally explored in Brazil, have settled remotely from the main federal road (BR-135), considered the most important develpment area of the state. Thus, the existing territorial structure in Tocantins can be seen as a result of clashes occured in the past, in which Afro-American, American-Indian and peasants have not achieved significant access to profits of the production process. As a consequence, those groups have been driven off from the main development center which connects Tocantins to the rest of the country.

Organizational research developed in more advanced economies and democratic societies is increasingly concerned with identity issues and their relationship with the organizational world; its aim is to include and eliminate inequalities in the organizational environment applied to historically devalued identities. Such concern has forged the term "big 6" among Anglo-Saxon organizational researchers, a reference to the six most relevant identities in diversity studies for organizations in this context: age, disability, race/ethnicity, gender, religion, and sexuality. Thus, to contribute to the debate on diversity, identity, inclusion, and the production of inequalities in organizations, five contemporary books on the subject are presented below. The contents of these books are divided into two main themes: methodologies and theoretical-conceptual aspects. ; Organizational research developed in more advanced economies and democratic societies is increasingly concerned with identity issues and their relationship with the organizational world; its aim is to include and eliminate inequalities in the organizational environment applied to historically devalued identities.

Tal preocupação fez surgir, entre os pesquisadores organizacionais anglo-saxões, o termo "big 6" ao se referirem às seis identidades mais relevantes nos estudos sobre diversidade para as organizações situadas nesse contexto, sendo elas: idade, deficiência, raça/etnia, gênero, religião e orientação sexual. Dessa forma, buscando contribuir com o debate sobre diversidade, identidade, inclusão e a produção de desigualdades nas organizações, são apresentados a seguir cinco livros contemporâneos sobre o tema. Os conteúdos destes livros estão divididos em duas temáticas principais: metodologias e aspectos teóricos-conceituais.
This article discusses how Brazilian AIDS activism has emerged and been reconfigured over the last 25 years. I analyze how societal forms were created and particular problems emerged in a specific context affected by the AIDS epidemic. Based on ethnographic research in concrete contexts in Brazil, I follow the ways by which people have united around various ideas and practices related to life, health and illness, morality and politics. People affected by the epidemic were engaged in sociality, identity formation and the definition of a wide range of health, political and judicial demands, which take a particular biosocial activism as their main form of collective mobilization. My main aim is to reflect, therefore, on the formation of particular biosocial worlds, socialities, collectivities and identities related to specific modes of subjectification surrounding life and death, biomedicine and biotechnologies, politics and citizenship.

Propõe uma discussão sobre a noção de língua nacional definida através do pressuposto da unidade lingüística e sustentada por afirmações do tipo "a língua portuguesa é o idioma oficial da República Federativa do Brasil". Esta afirmação começa a ser reestruturada pelo reconhecimento oficial da diversidade lingüística brasileira e das dificuldades no trato com estas questões, tanto em nível acadêmico quanto nos demais níveis de poder. Levantam-se alguns questionamentos acerca das políticas lingüísticas articuladas junto à política de Educação Escolar Indígena no Brasil e especificamente na Amazônia. De um lado estão os povos indígenas que, por motivos históricos alheios a sua vontade, não falam uma língua que se possa denominar como propriamente indígena. De outro lado, discute-se como se organizam as práticas de escolarização em comunidades indígenas de fronteira que falam não somente uma, mas até cinco línguas, incluindo as indígenas e as línguas dos países limítrofes. O que fazer, então, se todas estas realidades estão sujeitas ao "modismo reducionista" imposto pela legislação da educação escolar indígena bilíngüe?
Partindo de uma perspectiva intercultural, este artigo pretende cartografar algumas práticas de alunos e grupos de alunos em sala de aula, a conhecida bagunça, comumente tratadas como prejudiciais ao ensino e organização escolares. Baseando-se na reconstrução documentária de grupos de discussão e entrevistas com alunos do quinto ano de diferentes sistemas escolares (público e privado no Brasil e escolas de baixa e alta qualificação educacionais na Alemanha), discutiremos o conceito de bagunça considerando a sua função social em relação à constituição de grupos de amigos, à carreira escolar e a um descontentamento ou crítica do aluno sobre qualidade de ensino. Função esta que se diferencia e configura de acordo com o contexto social, econômico e cultural do aluno revelando-se, muitas vezes, como sua voz face à obsolescência e ao fracasso da instituição escolar. Do ponto de vista metodológico, empregamos o método de pesquisa qualitativa relacionada a investigações interculturais assim como o método de triangulação sobre o material cultural relacionado.
Apresento, neste artigo, considerações sucintas sobre como pessoas trans* podem sair do armário (ou retornar ao mesmo) através do site de redes sociais Facebook. Trata-se de um trabalho de história do tempo presente/imediato que se utiliza de história oral ciborgue, fundamentado em entrevistas de história oral off-line, entrevistas de história oral on-line, e também via chat do Facebook.
O presente trabalho é resultado de observações feitas em uma escola pública estadual como parte das atividades práticas da disciplina EL 511 Psicologia e Educação, ministrada pela professora Dra. Regina Maria de Souza, na Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP). A partir da observação de duas classes do primeiro ano do Ensino Médio, notamos a diferença - que fabricaram para si - de dois grupos sócio-culturais, chamados, nesse trabalho, de nerds e descolados. Tal diferença é analisada pela perspectiva psicanalítica, ao considerar que os alunos reforçam as diferenças entre o grupo ao qual pertencem em relação ao outro grupo a partir do processo de identificação. A identificação envolve a formação do eu, que passa necessariamente pela imagem do outro. Sustentamos que a diferença entre esses grupos influencia na dinâmica da interação em sala de aula e, por isso, deve ser considerada e discutida no âmbito educacional. Nesse trabalho, também salienta-se a questão da identificação das professoras observadas com um grupo em detrimento do outro.
Este artigo tem como objetivo historicizar o universo nerd como um vetor para a produção de identidades, bem como de sensibilidades no espaço da microrregião de Picos, através do alcance de canais de TV, celulares, smartphones e computadores conectados à Internet. Nesse sentido, o objeto do estudo envereda-se pelas teias discursivas de sujeitos que circulam pelos espaços físicos e virtuais da cidade de Picos, ambicionando com isso produzir uma história do tempo presente, referenciada por autores tais como Félix Guattari, Suely Rolnik, Donna Haraway, Massimo Canevacci e Stuart Hall. Apresentam-se como sujeitos a serem pesquisados aqueles que arrogam para si a nomeação de nerds, fazendo levantamento de dados orais.
