This work focuses on the experience of a Brazilian cassava starch agro-industry in developing its technological capabilities since 1917, when it was first established. Its main purpose is to explore how the process of technological progress which occurred along with that industrialization, especially regarding the starch industry, has been determined by the following variables: I) the pattern of capital accumulation, II) the capability of the related technical base to both the promotion or absorption of technological changes, and III) firms' strategies towards innovation.
Organizadores: Daniel de Mello Ferraz, Ana Paula Martinez Duboc We don’t know what the future holds among so much polarization, hybrid wars, movements to disassemble public education, but the role of a teacher educator who is engaged and aware of its representation in the society cannot be denied and vanished. On the contrary, a teacher educator in the complexity of his/her role will inevitably be reference of resistance: creating discursive and theoretical opportunities, legitimizing knowledge other than those which comes top down. Certainly, this book will trigger other similar projects and contribute meaningfully to critical teacher education (Fabrício Ono).

O estudo é baseado em coleta de dados junto a pesquisadores brasileiros com experiência em publicações de artigos acadêmicos em periódicos internacionais, e examina uma gama de práticas correntes, de acordo com a Teoria da Atividade de Engestrom. A análise dessas práticas revela que há inúmeros e sérios conflitos dentro das atividades que compõe o objeto final, a publicação. Essas informações enfatizam a necessidade de políticas institucionais que apoiem o trabalho dos pesquisadores, tanto no campo da pesquisa quanto no letramento acadêmico em português e em língua estrangeira.

How Brazilian favela residents engage with and appropriate technologies, both to fight the oppression in their lives and to represent themselves in the world. Brazilian favelas are impoverished settlements usually located on hillsides or the outskirts of a city.
