O presente trabalho de pesquisa traz uma nova abordagem e novos personagens dentro do contexto educacional. A pedagogia do salto alto é uma nova leitura que traz as histórias de professoras transexuais e travestis atuantes na educação brasileira como personagens que, por muito tempo, ficaram escondidas ou à margem da sociedade. A partir das histórias de vida apresentadas, analiso tópicos importantes e significativos, norteando o tema da Educação, transversalizando com outros temas como sexualidade, gênero, violência e preconceito. Também proponho, neste trabalho, apontar alguns caminhos possíveis na busca de uma educação possível, a partir destes novos sujeitos. / The present research provides a new approach and new characters into the educational context. The pedagogy of the high heels is a new point of view that brings the stories of transsexuals and transvestites teachers that work in Brazilian education as characters who had long remained hidden or placed on the margins of society. From these life stories I analyze important and significant topics driven by the theme of education traversed by other issues such as gender, sexuality, violence and prejudice. In this paper, I also suggest to point out some paths that aims a perspective of education possible from these new subjects.

Title: Quantification of plantar pressure distribution and geometry of forefoot according to the character of shoes Objectives: The main purpose of this thesis is to describe and verify the changes in the sole of the foot according to the style of shoe which are manifested by changes in the values of the maximum pressure, contact area, contact time and changes in pressure time integral. The next object is to verify the changes in forefoot geometry according to the style of shoes. Methodology: The sample consisted of 6 healthy women of average age 25 ± 1 year. All study participants reported wearing high-heeled shoes occasionally which means not more than twice per week. The measurement was realized with the Pedar-X in-shoe pressure measurement system (Novel) and motion capture system Qualisys. Results were analysed statistically using Wilcoxon test. Statistical significance was set at p < 0,05. Results: From the received data we could find out the changes that footwear causes in healthy people. The findings of this study indicate that the use of different style of shoes affect all measured parameters such as maximum pressure, contact area, contact time and pressure time integral.From the experiment evaluation, it is clear that the style of shoes may also affect the geometry of forefoot. Keywords:...

While footwear was originally meant to protect the feet and enable the wearer to span larger distances and rough materials, today shoes are often seen as a fashion statement and a sex symbol for women. In his book, Of Cigarettes, High Heels, and Other Interesting Things, Marcel Danesi examines how high heels have moved away from the original purpose of shoes and now “seem to contravene this function. They are uncomfortable and yet millions of women wear them." They have moved from practicality to a sign of femininity, sexuality, and power.

Title: Coordination changes in a selected remote part of the locomotor system when walking in straight shoes and high heels. Objective: The aim of the dissertation is to find out how walking on a high heel affects the coordination changes and timing of the beginning of muscle activation in a selected part of the musculoskeletal system in comparison with walking in shoes with straight soles. Methods: This research work has an empirical, comparative intra-individual character. Comparative analysis of coordination characteristics of the locomotor system with the experimental character of obtaining quantitative data. We used a portable electromyograph BIOMONITOR ME6000 (Mega Electronics Ltd., Finland) to monitor changes in the timing of muscle coordination during walking in flat-soled and high-heeled shoes on flat terrain and on a treadmill. We recorded the synchronized video on a Sony HDR-SR12 digital video camera (SONY Co., Japan). Motor units and their electrical potential were sensed by self-adhesive homologated hydrogels electrodes MEDICO LEAD-LOK (Medico Electrodes Int., India, ISO 13485: 2003). The research group consisted of 30 healthy women (age 25 ± 5 years, weight 57 ± 7 kg, height 16 ± 5 cm, BMI 21 ± 3), all respondents are occasional wearers of high-heeled shoes. Results: We confirmed the...
