O espelho virtual = prolegômenos de uma arqueologia do futuro do humano / The virtual mirror : prolegomena of an archaeology of the future of the human being

Scachetti, Rodolfo Eduardo 03 October 2011 (has links)
Orientador: Laymert Garcia dos Santos / Tese (doutorado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Instituto de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas / Made available in DSpace on 2018-08-17T17:01:20Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Scachetti_RodolfoEduardo_D.pdf: 13745227 bytes, checksum: 200cb9c19e66047d05f9db0571c72d85 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2011 / Resumo: Esta tese começou com um desencontro. Diante dos desdobramentos da cibernética, diante de modelos e metáforas, no início estávamos no vestíbulo do futuro do humano onde ouvíamos uma voz se levantar e tratar dos riscos de uma iminente superação do homem pelas máquinas. Fomos conduzidos a pensar o estatuto do humano no Ocidente, e se a metaforização frequentemente apareceu como seu fundamento, não foi de outro modo que encontramos a figura futura de uma Máquina Absoluta, máquina soberana, rainha da produção metafórica, centro de uma nova ordem simbólica, em suma, receptáculo dessa transferência de uma tecnologia linguística que teria marcado o humano e o distinguido até aqui na grande cadeia dos seres. Mas por que teriam as metáforas de passar às máquinas nessa espécie de possibilidade estranha de metaforização sem corpo? Com esse estranhamento, as questões tiveram de ser reabertas, e demos assim um passo atrás antes de qualquer passo à frente, saindo do vestíbulo do futuro do humano. Nesse momento, o encontro. Percorremos espaços, sentimos diferentes velocidades, e a espreita inicial se abriu na total instabilidade do olhar. Menos linguagem verbal, menos apenas o dizível, movemo-nos, no encontro com Foucault e em todos os outros que esse pôde disparar, em meio às vertigens da relação entre dizível e visível. A metáfora perdeu espaço, e através principalmente da pintura acompanhamos a representação se curvar diante das forças. Mais do que a tentativa de mostrarmos uma figura do futuro do humano, uma possível Máquina Total, buscamos acessar com Foucault e Deleuze o plano da disputa de forças através de um espelho virtual, esperando com ambos que uma nova forma não seja pior do que as anteriores, a clássica forma-Deus e a moderna forma-Homem / Abstract: This thesis has begun with a mismatch. In front of the unfolding of Cybernetics and its models and metaphors, at the beginning we were in the vestibule of the human future where a voice stood up to deal with the risks of an imminent overrun of man by machines. We were herded into thinking the human's status in Western, and if metaphorization often appeared as its foundation, we have not found otherwise the figure of a future Absolute Machine, sovereign machine, Queen of metaphorical production, center for a new symbolic order, in short, receptacle of the transfer of a linguistic technology that would have marked the humans and distinguished them until here in the Great Chain of Beings. But why would the metaphors have to be transferred to machines on this kind of strange possibility of metaphors without body? Because of this strangeness, questions had to be reopened, and we stepped back before any step ahead, leaving the vestibule of the future of human beings. At this point, the meeting. Going through spaces, we felt different speeds, and the original peep opened in a total instability of the gaze. Less verbal language, less the articulable only, we moved with Foucault and all other meetings provoked by him among the vertigo of the relationship between visible and articulable. Then metaphor lost its space and we observed representation bowing down in face of the forces mainly through painting. More than trying to show a picture of the future of the human, a possible Total Machine, we tried to access the plan of the dispute of the forces through a virtual mirror with Foucault and Deleuze, waiting with them that a new form will not be worse than the previous ones, the classic God-form and the modern Man-form / Doutorado / Teoria Sociológica / Doutor em Sociologia

Packaging behaviour : developing action kits for the promotion of road safety.

Rieker, Mark Ivan. January 2005 (has links)
Recognising that road safety is a development priority in South Africa, this research project aims to compare the efficacy of the Social Marketing development communication approach with that of the education approach favoured by the National Department of Transport in road safety development interventions. The research is also driven by the identified need to explore the role of new Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in development. To this end, road safety "action kits" were developed using Social Marketing principles and incorporating the use of interactive technology. Educational kits using information supplied by the National Department of Transport were also developed. The efficacy of the two interventions was compared by comparing the results of a road safety inventory across three groups of participants. These participants were learner drivers from Pietermaritzburg aged < 25 years and with access to the required technology. The first experimental group (N=36) received the action kits, the second experimental group (N=42) received the developed educational intervention and a third control group (N=40) received no intervention. The Social Marketing group was found to score higher than the education group across all items in the inventory (educational, attitudinal and behavioural). The research concludes that the Social Marketing approach needs to be considered as an alternative to the current approach in road safety communication interventions. It also provides the basis for further exploration of the uses of ICTs in development interventions. / Thesis (M.Soc.Sc.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2005.

Saberes populares: recurso para o ensino de conceitos químicos num enfoque CTS

Zanotto, Ricardo Luiz 16 April 2015 (has links)
Acompanha: Jogo dos pares. / Partindo-se da premissa de que a Química originou-se de saberes e práticas ligadas à transformação da matéria, considera-se que deva ser ensinada a partir do diálogo entre os diversos saberes que integram o cotidiano dos alunos. Neste sentido, o objetivo geral deste trabalho foi verificar as contribuições da utilização dos saberes populares, sob um enfoque CTS, na construção de conceitos científicos para o ensino de Química. A pesquisa foi realizada com uma turma de 3ª série do Ensino Médio composta de 30 alunos de um colégio da rede estadual de ensino, da região sul do Estado do Paraná. A abordagem metodológica foi a qualitativa, de natureza interpretativa, com observação participante. A coleta de dados para análise efetuou-se por meio de questionários, entrevistas, discussões, pesquisas bibliográficas, elaboração e análise de mapas conceituais, resumos, produção de textos, fotos e desenhos. As atividades foram planejadas e desenvolvidas em oito momentos, abordando, sobretudo, os conteúdos químicos de Funções Orgânicas. Os principais resultados evidenciaram que a utilização dos saberes populares foi um fator motivador da aprendizagem e que esses podem ser usados como conceitos espontâneos, favorecendo a criação de estruturas cognitivas, uma vez que contribuíram para a ocorrência de construção de conhecimento e mudança de perfil conceitual. Além dessa verificação, pode-se citar como resultado, a construção de infográficos de conceitos químicos, como produto da pesquisa, enfocando as relações da Ciência, Tecnologia e Sociedade (CTS) e a Alfabetização Científica e Tecnológica (ACT) como propulsores de todas as discussões que permearam o desenvolvimento da pesquisa. / Starting from the premise that chemistry originated from knowledge and practices related to the transformation of matter, it is considered that should be taught from the dialogue between the various knowledges that are part of the daily lives of students. In this sense, the aim of this study was to analyze the contributions of the use of popular knowledge in the construction of scientific concepts for teaching chemistry. The survey was conducted with a group of 3rd year of high school composed of 30 students of a college of state schools, the southern state of Paraná region. The methodological approach was qualitative, interpretative nature, with participant observation. The collection of data for analysis was executed by means of questionnaires, interviews, discussions, literature searches, preparation and analysis of conceptual maps, summaries, production of texts, photos and drawings. The activities were planned and developed in 8 times, particularly addressing the chemical content of Organic functions. The main results show that the use of popular knowledge was a motivating factor for learning and can be used as spontaneous concepts that enable the creation of cognitive structures as it contributed to the occurrence of building knowledge and conceptual change of profile. In this observation, one can cite as a result, the construction of infographics of chemical concepts such as product research, focusing on the relations of Science, Technology and Society (STS) and the Scientific and Technological Literacy (ACT) as propellants of all discussions that permeated the development of research.

On Human Separatism

Mylius, Benjamin January 2023 (has links)
This is a dissertation about human separatism. Human separatism is the social imaginary according to which Humanity should aim to use technology to “separate” itself from nature. It is incoherent and self-undermining. But it has also proven persistent and resilient, and appears to be intensifying in the face of fears about phenomena like climate change. In chapter 1 I unpack three distinct conceptions of “separation” that I argue have prevailed at different times in European philosophical and cultural history. The first is ontological, or related to being; the second is epistemological, or related to knowing; and the third is “nomological”, or related to law-making and laws. These correspond roughly to Ancient thought (in Plato and Augustine), Early Modern thought (in Bacon and Descartes) and Modern thought (in Kant and the contemporary “Ecomodernists”), respectively. I also offer some reasons for concluding that the concept of separation is in general incoherent. In chapter 2 I reflect upon why this imaginary has proven so difficult to overcome. Specifically, following existential psychology, I propose that it is a perverse manifestation of terrors that are central to the human condition. In particular it is a manifestation of the fears we have as human beings about our limited agency and our mortality or finitude. These fears are powerful enough to override rational thinking. Insofar as fantasies about separation from nature provide a salve for them, these fantasies persist over time. Insofar as fears of death and mortality are more and more front-and-centre for us as individuals and collectives, these fantasies become ever-more resilient to critique, and continue to intensify. In chapter 3 I consider some challenges that emerge when we attempt to gather resources for imaginative alternatives to separatism. I consider the ideas that we might either (a) invent a new story from whole cloth, or (b) appropriate the stories and theories of other cultures and attempting to graft them onto our own. I reject these approaches, and explore some resources from critical ecofeminism as intellectual tools to understand them, and develop some design parameters for alternative approaches. In chapter 4, I explore the narratives of some First Nations Australian cosmologies as they speak to the relationship between human beings and the natural world in the work of the First Nations writers Mary Graham and Tyson Yunkaporta. I then consider what might be involved in presenting some of these same insights in terms that adhere to the design parameters I set out in chapter 3. I propose that the genre of narrative tragedy is a powerful place to do some of this work. To flesh out this claim, I offer a series of detailed reflections on narrative tragedy, drawing on the work of Julian Young, and suggest that tragic narratives offer a powerful place for metabolizing existential anxieties, for coming to terms with ecological reality, and for encouraging and engaging in dialogue about imaginative alternative futures.
