A pesquisa também se propõe a demonstrar o modo como este tipo de publicação constrói uma discursividade coerente com a lógica da racionalidade neoliberal que, por sua vez, não apenas modificou o senso de realidade social nas últimas três décadas - gerando a afirmação hegemônica dos valores do hiperindividualismo, da competitividade extrema, do livre mercado, das virtudes inatas do mercado - como também, produziu uma nova forma de vida, uma nova subjetividade: o ser humano compreendido como um empreendedor de si mesmo, um capital humano que deve sempre ser valorizado e potencializado. A pesquisa percorre o universo das capas que retratam, de diferentes formas, as possibilidades oferecidas pelas tecnociências em direção ao "aprimoramento" humano e à criação de uma nova antropologia humana. Nosso objetivo é mostrar como estas revistas assumem estratégias cognitivas que procuram 1) atenuar o sentimento de insegurança e incerteza frente ao futuro nas sociedades pós-industriais, sugerindo técnicas científicas para o alcance da competência necessária para que o indivíduo consiga sobreviver em meio à competitividade dos tempos atuais; 2) atuar no sentido de alterar n...

The research also proposes to demonstrate the means by which this kind of publication builds a discursivity that is coherent with the neoliberal rationality which, in turn, not only modified the sense of social reality in the last three decades by generating the hegemonic affirmation of Hyperindividualism's values, extreme competition, free market and innate market virtues, but also produced a new way of life, a new subjectivity: the human being as its own entrepreneur, as human capital that must always be valued and enhanced. This work deals with the magazine cover universe that portrays in different ways the possibilities offered by the technosciences towards human "enhancement" and the creation of a new anthropology. Our objective is to show how these magazines make use of cognitive strategies that seek to 1) attenuate the insecurity feeling and the uncertainty regarding the future in post-industrial societies by suggesting scientific techniques to achieve the necessary competence for the individual to survive in the midst of competitiveness nowadays; 2) alter our moral grammar by trying to suppress criticism through its discourse on the pretext of helping us deal with the difficulties created by constant social acceleration; 3) create new horizons of expectations and desires by trying to generate in the individual the overcoming of restrictions on consumption as well as the use of emerging biotechnologies. The research's contribution consists primarily in elucidating the intricate process that leads to the anthropotechnics subjectivation, which occurs through articulations between...

This study explores a model for the creative process to facilitate an honest, individualistic, empowering human experience for the dancers and choreographer in the Higher Ed dance studio. I investigated the role of choreographer as facilitator/collaborator and dancer as creator/co-owner to formulate a model aimed at developing connection. Over the course of eight weeks, I facilitated a creative process workshop. Eight undergraduate dance majors volunteered to be a part of the study. My evaluation was conducted through pre and post workshop interviews, self-journaling, group discussions, as well as video documentation. As a result, three themes and six sub-themes emerged from the data: Self-Realization with sub-themes of self-reflection, self-acceptance, and confidence; Safe Open Environment with sub-themes of group empathy and connection; and Using the Voice with a sub-theme of vulnerability. This model offers a safe environment geared toward using the voice, practicing vulnerability, and making individual artistic decisions.

The significance of vocal communication in subterranean rodents was confirmed. In this study I tested whether vocalization of the Mashona mole-rats (Fukomys darlingi) differs individually and what information about signaller are these mole-rats able to obtain using only acoustic cues.
