PSICOLOGIA SOCIAL: Travessias e(m) tessituras
A obra, (co)construída por autoras e autores de variadas áreas das Ciências Humanas e Sociais, aborda de forma ética, crítica, reflexiva e propositiva uma multiplicidade de eixos temáticos que entrelaçam o campo da Psicologia Social e que, simultaneamente, convidam-na a outras travessias. As discussões e os tensionamentos, que se presentificam nos capítulos, informam, a partir de diversos ângulos e em diferentes campos de atuação e/ou pesquisa, o compromisso social da Psicologia.
A busca da perfeição
A imagem que ilustra a capa deste livro apresenta a escultura intitulada ‘Apolo Belvedere’. , em exposição no Museu Pio-Clementino, no Vaticano. A data de sua origem e autoria são controversas, mas considera-se que seja uma cópia romana, em mármore, de um original grego perdido. Representando o deus grego Apolo, tal escultura se tornou a expressão do ideal da perfeição, característico da civilização helênica. Note-se que esse ideal, embora remetendo à beleza, não se restringia ao aspecto estético, pois o belo era associada, pelos gregos, ao amor, à sabedoria, à justiça, à virtude, à bondade e à coragem. Nessa associação está implícita a ideia de um homem superior...
Vulnerabilidades e suas dimensões jurídicas
"Por meio da identificação dos sujeitos vulneráveis e dos mecanismos de tutela, por força do comando da isonomia substancial acalentado no desenho solidarista constitucional que marca o atual estágio democrático do Estado brasileiro, vivencia-se um período sem precedentes de humanização do Direito e da concreta percepção de suas novas funções. Um ordenamento jurídico que não tem por fim o reforço e manutenção do sistema de dominação social, racial e de gênero e preservação do status quo do poder estabelecido, mas atento à realidade de desigualdades e voltado ao efetivo enfrentamento das relações assimétricas que permitem a subordinação e a subjugação dos grupos...
Postmodernity and its Discontents
When Freud wrote his classic Civilization and its Discontents, he was concerned with repression. Modern civilization depends upon the constraint of impulse, the limiting of self expression. Today, in the time of modernity, Bauman argues, Freud's analysis no longer holds good, if it ever did. The regulation of desire turns from an irritating necessity into an assault against individual freedom. In the postmodern era, the liberty of the individual is the overriding value, the criterion in terms of which all social rules and regulations are assessed. Postmodernity is governed by the 'will to happiness': the result, however, is a sacrificing of security. The most prominent anxieties in our socie...
Virtual Ethnography
Cutting though the exaggerated and fanciful beliefs about the new possibilities of `net life′, Hine produces a distinctive understanding of the significance of the Internet and addresses such questions as: what challenges do the new technologies of communication pose for research methods? Does the Internet force us to rethink traditional categories of `culture′ and `society′? In this compelling and thoughtful book, Hine shows that the Internet is both a site for cultural formations and a cultural artefact which is shaped by people′s understandings and expectations. The Internet requires a new form of ethnography. The author considers the shape of this new ethnography and guides readers through its application in multiple settings.
Policy Actors
Policy analysis has always attended to the role of elite actors, but much less often has the policy activity of ‘street level’ actors been attended to. The ‘implementation’ paradigm has tended to caricature the level of practice in terms of ‘resistors’ or policy failure, and ignored the demanding, creative and complex processes of enacting policy. The move from policy texts to policy in action involves sophisticated processes of interpretation and translation, as well as, at times, opposition, subversion and strategic compliance. The chapters in this book, in different ways, seek to get inside the policy process to understand what policy actors really do – how they manage impossible and multiple policy expectations, how they attempt to do policy with limited resources in conditions often unimagined by those who write policy, and how they translate abstract policy formulations into things that are doable, immediate and relevant. The collection re-writes the policy process and offers new ways of researching policy and policy outcomes. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Education Policy.
