Créer un espace de communication à ceux qui en ont le plus besoin, apprendre à travailler et vivre ensemble. Voici quelques leitmotivs qui reviennent régulièrement lorsqu’on engage une discussion avec les acteurs de terrain d’un Cirque social. De manière un peu succincte je dirais que deux raisons m’ont poussée à mener ces recherches. Premièrement, l’envie de comprendre les modalités et le déroulement de ce travail de construction ou de reconstruction du lien social entre enfants et adolescents en situation de risque, particulièrement ceux issus de certaines « minorités visibles » et la « société normalisée ». Deuxièmement, comprendre et plus encore rendre compte de comment une pratique artistique comme celle du cirque, bien souvent considérée archaïque, démodée et marginalisée, peut prétendre avoir les atouts et/ou les outils nécessaires pour venir en aide à ce type de public et d’être capable de les aider à développer leur potentiel, leur auto estime, d’enrichir leur vie, de prévenir des dysfonctionnements, de résoudre des problèmes et provoquer des changements sociaux tant au niveau individuel qu’au niveau collectif. Les terrains choisis pour mener ces enquêtes furent certains pays de l’Amérique du Nord, la France et le Brésil, plus particulièrement l’Etat Rio de Janeiro. En outre, cette étude souhaite, soulever des questions sur ce qui pourrait être considéré comme étant une discordance, à savoir, le fait que le plus souvent les individus bénéficiant des programmes organisés par ces cirques sont, aussi, le plus souvent absents ou minoritaires dans cet univers circassien. En ce sens, je fais référence une fois encore au nombre réduits de Noirs dans cette espace artistique. Comment comprendre cette apparente dissonance entre leurs discours et actions. Comment peuvent évoluer les formes de sociabilités engagées à l’intérieur de ces lieux mais aussi à l’extérieur de ceux-ci ? En définitif, quel rôle jouent ces cirques dits sociaux dans la mesure où leur objectif n’est pas celui de former des artistes de cirque ? / To create a channel of communication for those who are in most need, to learn to work and live together. Here are a few themes that reoccur once we(one)engage(s) in discussion with those working in Social Circus scene. I will summarize the two reasons that pushed me to make this research. Firstly, the desire to understand the function and evolution of the work of construction or reconstruction of social ties between children and adolescents in challenging life situations- particularly those from certain obvious minorities - and the rest of normal society. Secondly, the need to understand and to take note of how an artistic medium like that of the circus often considered archaic, old-fashioned and marginalized can have the tools necessary to aid minorities and be capable of helping them to develop their potential, build their self-esteem, enrich their lives, prevent social dysfunctions, solve problems and provoke social change on a personal level as well as a global level. The locations chosen for this research are: certain parts of North America and Brazil, particularly the state of Rio de Janeiro .Furthermore this study is intended to raise questions about what can be considered a discordance: the fact that those who would be most able to benefit from these programs are the least likely to be offered access to such an opportunity. I would also like to draw attention to the fact that African-Americans are still drastically underrepresented in the world of Circus Arts.How do we comprehend the implications of these programs ? How can strong, positive, social behaviors evolve inside of these places but also outside of their walls ? Precisely what role do these “Social Circuses” play when their aim is not primarily focused on training professional circus artists ?

Esta pesquisa é o olhar, de uma atriz-sobrete, sobre a linguagem teatral desenvolvida desde 2003 na Cia. Os Fofos Encenam a partir do diálogo com a tradição do circo-teatro brasileiro. O ator e diretor Fernando Neves conduz o trabalho na Cia. e, ao longo dos anos, dedicou-se também ao trabalho pedagógico cujo eixo é a cena convencional que considera a especialização em determinado tipo de papel - como no antigo sistema de emplois; suspendendo, entretanto, a poética do teatro de convenção - para tomá-la como meio de manifestação de um temperamento artístico do ator. Tal procedimento situa o ator na exploração da linguagem teatral circense guiando a composição da personagem-tipo através da qual o ator, dispondo-se ao contato direto com o público, deverá operar a cena. O desenvolvimento deste processo, pedagógico e de criação, é abordado na presente pesquisa na intenção de refletir sobre o modo de operação de uma poética cênica convencional, revelando a dinâmica que a inspira e as estratégias do ator para operá-la, considerando o trabalho da Cia. Os Fofos Encenam em diálogo com a tradição do ator popular. / This study is the look of a sobrete actress about the theatrical language developed since 2003 by the company Os Fofos Encenam from the dialogue perspective with the brazilian drama-circus tradition. The actor and director Fernando Neves conducts the work of the group and, through the years, also devoted himself to the pedagogic work, which the pivot is the conventional scene that takes into consideration the specialization in a certain type of role - as in the old emploi system. Yet, the poetics of the theater of convention is suspended in order to be taken as means of manifestation of an artistic temperament of the actor. This procedure situates the actor in the exploration of the circus theatrical language guiding the type-character composition, through which the actor, making him/herself ready for direct contact with the audience, should operate the scene. This study approaches the development of this process, pedagogic and of creation, to reflect upon the modus operandi of the poetics of conventional scene, revealing the dynamics that inspires it and the actor\'s strategies to operate it, considering the work of the theater company Os Fofos Encenam in dialogue with the tradition of the popular actor.

This thesis examines the ways in which the Magna Mater became an integral part of Augustan ideology and the visual language of the early principate. Traditionally, our picture of the Augustan Magna Mater has been shaped by evidence from literary sources. Here, however, the monuments of the goddess' cult are considered in their religio-political context. Works that link Augustus himself to the Magna Mater are shown to reveal that the goddess played a significant and hitherto unappreciated role in official propaganda. Part I examines the nature of the Augustan reconstruction of the Palatine Temple of the Magna Mater and challenges persistent claims that the princeps was disinterested in the metroac cult. Augustus' use of inexpensive building materials is shown to be, not a display of parsimony, but an attempt to retain the traditional appearance of a venerable structure. A reinterpretation of the temple's pedimental and acroterial sculpture, using the Valle-Medici reliefs, demonstrates that Augustus promoted the Magna Mater as an allegory of Rome's Trojan heritage and as a symbol of a new Golden Age. Part II investigates the topography of the Augustan precinct on the Palatine, and argues that the geographic linkage of the metroön and the House of Augustus became a topos in imperial imagery. It then demonstrates that several well-known works of art echo this connection between the princeps and the goddess. These works range from statues in the Circus Maximus designed to be viewed by thousands, to the Gemma Augustea, a luxury item intended for the elite. They are also found both inside and outside Rome. A reassessment of the Vicus Sandaliarius altar and the Sorrento base illustrates popular recognition of Augustus' reinvention of the Magna Mater as a national deity of Rome and the tutelary goddess of the Julio-Claudii.

Lead is a highly toxic metal that has been used by humans for over 2000 years. Over this time it has become increasingly apparent that despite its usefulness, lead is one of the most highly toxic substances known to man. Current research into lead exposure of humans focuses on low-level chronic exposure and its effects on learning and behaviour. However, investigations into lead exposure of wildlife are still focussed on mortalities, particularly of waterfowl and raptors, with little known about low-level exposures or the effects on other species. This study examines the exposure of free-ranging kea (Nestor notabilis) from the Aoraki/ Mt Cook village and national park, takahe (Porphyrio hochstetteri) from Tiritiri Matangi, Kapiti and Mana Islands, and the lead associated syndrome of clenched-claw paralysis and leg paresis in harriers (Circus approximans) in New Zealand. Thirty-eight kea had detectable blood lead with concentrations ranging from 0.028 mg/L to 3.43 mg/L (mean = 0.428 mg/L ± 0.581). Analysis of tissue samples found that seven of 15 birds died with elevated tissue lead. Lead exposure may be an important contributing factor in kea mortality. As a result of these findings, lead abatement in areas frequented by kea is being considered. Eighteen of 45 takahe had detectable blood lead concentrations ranging from 0.015 mg/L to 0.148 mg/L (mean = 0.028 mg/L ± 0.042). Analysis of tissue samples from offshore island and Murchison Mountains birds found that all had detectable lead. Despite levels of lead exposure in the population being low and unlikely to result in overt clinical signs, it is widespread and there may be significant exposure of birds living around old buildings. An investigation into the clinical signs, pathology and response to treatment of clenched-claw paralysis and leg paresis in wild harriers was carried out. Harriers with clenched feet had significantly higher blood lead concentrations than those without. In conclusion, lead is a major factor in the expression of this clinical syndrome but other factors not yet identified are playing a role. This study demonstrates that lead is widespread in the New Zealand environment exposing a diverse range of avifauna, and has made some progress towards exploring some of its effects on health and survival.

Para tanto, foram adotadas como referência as experimentações cênicas do encenador epedagogo Vsévolod Emilievitch Meierhold, consolidadas nas duas encenações de Mistério-Bufo (1918 e1921), dramaturgia de Vladímir Maiakóvski. No primeiro capítulo, Opensamento russo eodesejo do corpo acrobata: final do século XIX einício do XX, o intuito é contextualizar efundamentar aaproximação das artes circenses eteatrais na Rússia em tal período. O capítulo aborda opensamento russo eoideal de “novo homem”, que encontrou sua expressão nas artes e na literatura. As atividades de Meierhold eMaiakóvski estão atreladas a essa conjuntura. No segundo capítulo, Ocorpo acrobata na pedagogia de V. E. Meierhold, oobjetivo é abordar o trabalho pedagógico meierholdiano nos anos que antecederam a Revolução de 1917, sob a ótica do processo de “cirquização” do teatro. Aobra de Meierhold apresenta um vasto material de investigação sobre oassunto eengendra não só transformações no espetáculo teatral como influencia diversos grupos eartistas do período. Por fim, no terceiro capítulo, A “cirquização” do teatro: Mistério-Bufo (1918 e1921), de Meierhold-Maiakóvski, procurou-se analisar acondição do corpo acrobata na obra enas encenações. Detecta-se nos espetáculos princípios eprocedimentos experimentados por Meierhold nos anos pré-revolucionários, bem como a apropriação eutilização de elementos circenses. Este trabalho revela que, na Rússia, grande parte dos artistas eintelectuais se voltou para as atividades circenses no início do século XX, já que nesse momento havia o desejo do “novo homem”, o herói eslavo harmônico e belo. A destreza, o vigor e a audácia do acrobata casa perfeitamente com tal ideia e, não por acaso, os... / The scope of this work is to discuss the acrobatic body‟s scenic potentialities during the beginning of the 20th century in Russia. To this end, it was adopted as a reference the scenic experimentations from the theater director and educator Vsevolod Emilievitch Meyerhold, which are consolidated in both staging of Mistery-Bouffe (1918 and 1921), dramaturgy of Vladimir Mayakovsky. In the first chapter, The Russian thought and the desire of the acrobatic body: end of 19th century and beginning of 20th century, the purpose is to contextualize and base the approach of the circus and theater arts in Russia in the mentioned period. The chapter addresses the Russian thought and the “new man” ideal, which has found its expression in the arts and literature. The activities of Meyerhold and Mayakovsky are coupled to this conjuncture. The second chapter, The acrobatic body in the pedagogy of V. E. Meyerhold, the purpose is to address the meyerholdian pedagogical work during the years that precede the Russian Revolution of 1917, from the perspective of the “circus-becoming” theater. Meyerhold‟s play shows a vast material of research about the subject and engenders, not only transformations in the theatrical play, but it also influences various groups and artists from that age. Finally, in the third chapter, The “cirquization” of the theater: Mystery-Bouffe (1918 and 1921), of Meyerhold-Mayakovsky, it was attempted to analyze the acrobatic body condition in the play and staging. There are in the plays principles and procedures already experimented by Meyerhold during the pre-Revolutionary years, as well as the ownership and usage of circus elements. This work reveals that in Russia, the majority of artists and the intelligentsia were focused on the circus activities in the beginning of the 20th century, since in that moment there was the desire of a “new man”, the harmonic and ...

The following process allowed to analyze and observe the scientific literacy of the students facilitated by the scientific initiation junior activities. During 2013 the Circus of Science held a science fair of public school students from São Carlos and awarded the 20 best reports with scholarships from CNPq, a governmental institution. The research started with a small science fair at the public school Archimedes Aristeu Mendes de Carvalho where the first and second years high school students exposed their projects and were selected to present at Circus of Science. After analysis of theirs projects and educational achievement 10 students were selected among 20 that participated and were awarded with the multidisciplinary scholarships. The project comprehended during one year activities in different laboratories, among them Chemistry, Biology, Physics and Mathematic. The researcher monitored these students and applied questionnaires before and after the activities, classes, posters composition and the final projects presented again at the Circus of Science event in 2014. The data were analyzed by scientific literacy point of view based in Miller and Ludke and Andre qualitative methodology. / Esse trabalho se resume no acompanhamento de 10 alunos que foram contemplados com bolsa de Iniciação Científica Junior (ICJ) com caráter multidisciplinar oferecida pelo Circo da Ciência em 2013, um evento que acontece anualmente na UFSCar junto à Universidade Aberta que foi coordenado pelo Prof. Dr. Pedro Malaguti do Departamento de Matemática. Esse acompanhamento teve como objetivo observar e analisar o processo de alfabetização científica desses alunos e quanto a ICJ foi facilitadora nesse processo. No ano de 2013 o Circo da Ciência proporcionou uma feira de ciência na qual, alunos da rede pública da Diretoria de Ensino São Carlos foram convidados a expor trabalhos desenvolvidos em suas escolas, e os melhores trabalhos foram contemplados com 20 bolsas de ICJ financiadas pelo CNPq, instituição governamental que financiou o Circo da Ciência nesse ano. O meu projeto teve inicio em uma mini-feira de ciências desenvolvida na E.E. Archimedes Aristeu Mendes de Carvalho, na qual alunos de 1º e 2º anos do ensino médios apresentaram trabalhos que foram desenvolvidos em sala de aula, e os mesmos foram expostos no pátio da escola. Por meios dessa feira de ciências, recebemos o convite da Diretoria de Ensino para participar do Circo da Ciência de 2013. Nossa escola levou dez trabalhos que foram apresentados por vinte alunos, dos quais dez foram contemplados com as bolsas de ICJ com duração de um ano, dividido em quatro períodos de dois meses, cada qual reservado para um dos quatro departamentos envolvidos no projeto: Química, Física, Biologia e Matemática. Para a seleção desses alunos foi levado em consideração seus projetos e seu desempenho escolar. Durante as atividades da ICJ, foram coletados dados a partir de questionários pré e pós - atividades, das aulas ministradas durante a ICJ, dos painéis apresentados nos Circo da Ciência de 2013 e 2014 e dos relatos feitos pelos sobre as atividades realizadas durante a IJC. E por fim todos esses dados foram analisados sobre o ponto de vista do processo de Alfabetização Científica (AC) utilizando as dimensões propostas por Miller e a metodologia qualitativa segundo Ludck e Andre.

The main objective is to promove reflections about the insertion of the clowns in the universe of the circus, to make us comprehend the process of formation of a clown formed in a traditional circus family. In this research, we begin of the conjecture that, through the individual memory we can think about rebuild the process of a professional's integral formation.Then, we trace the itinerary of Roger Avanzi, the clown Picolino II, think that it has possibilities, in this case, to discuss about what is a clown's formation when it come from a traditional circus family. To walk on this universe, a huge numer of authors that deeply studyed about the circus ans the clowns, like: Avanzi; Tamaoki (2004), Bolognesi (2003), Castro (2005), Pantano (2007), Ruiz (1987), Silva (1997) e Torres (1998). We bring then, a theoric base that certainly, fortifies and corroborates our thoughts and reflections about the universe of circus and the trajectory of clown's formation, with special atention to Roger Avanzi, fundamentals i studies about it and with memories like Halbwachs's (2004) and Bosi's (1994). The reflections enabled to conclude that a clown doesn't born done; it becomes in the cultural trajectory, in which all the human are inserted / Reflete-se, nesta disserta??o, sobre a trajet?ria de vida de um determinado palha?o: Roger Avanzi, que d? animus ao palha?o Picolino II.

Nesta pesquisa, partimos do pressuposto de que, atrav?s da utiliza??o da mem?ria individual podemos pensar em reconstruir o processo de forma??o integral de um profissional. Assim, tra?amos o itiner?rio de Roger Avanzi, o palha?o Picolino II, pensando que h? possibilidades, neste, de discutirmos o que ? a forma??o de um palha?o vindo de fam?lia tradicional circense. Para caminhar nesse universo, a uma gama de autores que estudaram profundamente sobre o circo e os palha?os, entre esses: Avanzi; Tamaoki (2004), Bolognesi (2003), Castro (2005), Pantano (2007), Ruiz (1987), Silva (1997) e Torres (1998). Trazemos assim, uma base te?rica que certamente, fortalece e corrobora nossos pensamentos e reflex?es acerca do universo circense e da trajet?ria de forma??o dos palha?os, com especial aten??o a de Roger Avanzi, fundamentados em estudos sobre e com mem?rias como os de Halbwachs (2004) e Bosi (1994).

O circo-teatro, presente na paisagem urbana de São Paulo em todo o século XX, constituiu-se em espetáculo popular baseado na hibridização cultural, com elementos da cultura erudita e da cultura de massa. Por sua vez, essas duas se apropriaram do discurso circense, num processo evidente de circu-laridade cultural. / The circus-theater, that could be seen at São Paulos urban landscape throughout twentieth century, constituted itself in a form of popular per-formance based in the cultural hybridization, with elements from learned culture and mass culture. In turn, both of these cultures assimilated the cir-cus discourse, in an unequivocal process of cultural circularity.
