    Parting from the idea that Christianity is the great religious phenomena responsible for attributing the Sacred characteristic of the modern western civilization, and that the televising media is its main disseminating agent in this very present moment, our proposal is to analyze, through an epistemological predisposed point of view of the religious phenomenology, which models of Christian Myths are propagated by the media-televising programs. We guided ourselves utilizing the transdisciplinary understanding required by the Science of Complexity, with the intent of creating a dialogue between the delineated fields of knowledge in this work, thus consisting of Religious Studies, Social-anthropology and Communication Sociology, as form to perceive what happens to the sacred mythical-Christian phenomenon, when exposed by massive models, which amongst them televising programs are included. For this understanding, we searched distinct inquiry models, serving as a better way to inwiden the knowledge on how to better reveal the Christian Myth models in media-televising. The choice in selecting Bourdieu´s Symbolic Interactions and the analyses of the Mythical-sacred reflection brought by Eliade and Morin, served us in great amount as to contributing to the necessary information required in this very research, a time that in the first stage, we reflect the model of the institutionalized religion and its interaction in the religious-televising format, being founded on the operandus way of logical capitalism, opposed to the second stage which consisted of an even bigger target of our analyses, consisting on the multidimensional aspects of the religious experience, which deals with the phenomenology that circumscribes the Live Myth as the word or the speech that tells of the Sacred, allowing that its narrative be preserved, transmitted and repeated in an infinite way, living, reliving and disclosing the sacred event.

    The present study has the objective of analyzing how the users of the Center for Juridical Assistance of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (NAJ/UFRN) represent the brazilian Judicial Power, undoing the dominant concept about justice and Law. Our study is divided in two levels. In the first one we analyse the historical moments that show the connection between justice, Law and ideology. In the second level we analyse the data obtained in the final stage of our research, identifying how the brazilian Judicial Power is represented by the individuals that have judicial actions sustained by NAJ/UFRN, showing that justice, law and ideology are linked, despite of the discourse preached by the capitalist judiciary model.

    Famílias simultâneas: um diálogo sócio-jurídico

    It examines, in the present research, concurrent, families in which there is a common partner in conjugal cohabitation with two different women or a man and a woman. The methodology used is the case study, from two trials that were brought to the Judiciary, in which the Supreme Court gave general repercussion in the year 2012, to which all other cases in the country were treated similarly. From these paradigmatic cases, this study has discussed the theories of patriarchy, male domination, sexual pact as well as the existing power relations in legal forms. The family is central to human being and condition for his humanization and sociability, aside from being a permanent and global phenomenon. In all eras and societies has always existed some kind of family arrangement. In developing the study, were placed in communication two fields of knowledge (law and social sciences) that were completed to reveal assumptions and unexpected results. The research proved challenging, to the extent that the theme family includes a series of ideas and preconceptions of the history of each person, which makes difficult the estrangement necessary for opening the new possibilities. Finally, there is the inevitable trend to the recognition, through the legal forms, of families in concurrency.

    As mulheres do Cariri e os caminhos da legitimidade política
    (Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2019-11-22) Silva, Antônia Eudivânia de Oliveira; Bento, Berenice Alves de Melo; ; ; Cabral, Carla Giovana; ; França, Fagner Torres de; ; Araújo, Iara Maria de; ; Porto, Rozeli Maria; ; Almeida, Tânia Mara Campos de;
    This study goal is to investigate the place held by women first ladies in the local power struggle inside the Cariri region in Ceara state. From political problematizations such as the network of meanings (BARREIRA, 1998), elections as representation rites (TURNER 2013), and gender as incomplete performance (BUTLER, 2010), I question: how do these women build political capital in order to legitimate themselves as city representatives? To answer it I did field work during 2016 election campaigns in five Cariri cities, during which I collected data with electoral state and federal agencies, observed conventions, meetings and rallies in these cities. I also did semi-structured interviews with the first ladies and ex-first ladies in order to engineer their trajectories for this local power build/maintenance. By this investigation’s end we inferred that, although the political field hinders the bodies comprehended as females entrance and permanence in its core, these women have found strategies to share the formal politics public space. In the specific context, women use the first lady title to acquire experience, build political capital and stage to show their administrative competence. Another strategy to steady themselves as public representatives is to trigger personal features, symbolically understood as female, which were away from the political field, as demand to renew contemporary politics.

    Pedagogias da corporalidade e o cuidado de si: corporalidade, experiência religiosa e o exercício de si na Igreja Verbo da Vida
    (Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2019-10-08) Tavares, Anderson Severino de Oliveira; Lopes Júnior, Orivaldo Pimentel; Silva, Anaxsuell Fernando da; Assunção, Luiz Carvalho de; Mendes, Estevam Dedalus Pereira de Aguiar; Berg, Irene de Araújo Van Den
    As the central objective of this thesis, we investigated if the corporeality model in Igreja Verbo da Vida (IVV), which has the action of the Holy Spirit on the bodies of its believers as its intention, results into the exercise of a self-care which integrates itself or not to the institutional corporeal regimes that regulate the use of the body. Therefore, we analyzed the corporeal pedagogies conducted at IVV, observing on their celebrations, the set of body techniques which are transmitted by the priests and ministers through their discursive and body performances during services, as well as analyzing the believer’s experiences as they acquire the ways of using the corporeality. Thus, we collected data concerning the priests and the believers’ conceptions about corporeality in the chosen community, here defined as enunciation place for the standardization mechanisms of body use in the celebrations and in everyday life. The theoretical perspective we used was grounded on corporeal pedagogy approach, and on Foucault’s concept of self-care. The research had a qualitative character, and we used direct observation, unstructured informal interviews and semi-structured interviews with nonrandom samples from believers. As we observed both priests and ministers in IVV mobilizing and stimulating believers into the use of gestures in the services, we verified that those, in the search for being “Holy Spirit instruments” , feeling on their bodies the “manifestation of the anointing” , activate a set of body techniques. In the interviews with members of IVV, we did not find a possible self-care which would open possibility of breaking with institutional body regimes. On the contrary, the self-work carried out by the believers interviewed, in the services and in everyday life, leads a self-transformation, in their bodies; according to the institutions own body regimes. On those, the believers are compelled to run, dance, jump, speak in strange languages, as well as hug one another and “declare de word” in the most adequate moments as possible, demonstrating publicly what they do in order to be “God’s instruments”, subjecting themselves to the leaders and to the corporeal perceptions which they describe as orientations from the Holy Spirit.

    O processo de impeachment de Dilma Rousseff. Micropolíticas do possível em Gabriel Tarde
    (Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2018-10-30) Cardoso, Ana Tázia Patrício de Melo; Dantas, Alexsandro Galeno Araújo; ; ; França, Fagner Torres de; ; Lopes Júnior, Orivaldo Pimentel; ; Klein, Eloisa Joseane da Cunha; ; Rocha Neto, Manoel Pereira da;
    The thesis approach the social categories of repetition, opposition and adaptation, as proposed by Gabriel Tarde, which are considered essential to the analysis of Brazil’s political phenomena in contemporaneity, through his neomonadologic perspective in which “the universe is composed by other souls besides mine, but deeply similar to mine” (2007, p. 65). The research aims at reaching a micropolitical dimension of social phenomena pro and against of President Dilma Roussef’s impeachment in the social media, expressed during April to August 2016. I investigate how the interaction of both hashtags founded spaces of resistance in the life spread dimension and in the virtual experiences, contagion networks, social avatars and practices of virality in social network. To understand the variation of imitations and inventions of social phenomena in the social network, we apply the theoreticalmethodological model developed by Bruno Latour (2012), through his Actor-Network Theory (ANT), which allowed for reaching an infinitesimal level to explain the reality, by observing flows of beliefs and desire throughout monades. In this sense, I reinstate the power of those political phenomena as an essential moment to open up possibilities to new possible worlds, against the passivity of “no alternative is possible” or as “end of history”.

    Corpo, vícios e compulsões: leituras de uma dietética da metrópole e da alimentação contemporânea no filme Réquiem para um sonho
    (Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2019-08-29) Batista, Natália Araújo do Nascimento; Silva, Josimey Costa da; ; ; França, Fagner Torres de; ; Lima, Hermano Machado Ferreira; ; Lopes Júnior, Orivaldo Pimentel;
    This research aims to comprehend food contemporaneity, as well as diet, by problematizing the individual/society relationship in the metropolis from the film Requiem for a Dream, directed by Darren Aronofsky (2000). Considering that cinema has much to say about social aspects, whose transformations are determinant in food practices, this dissertation took the perspectives of Gilles Lipovetsky (2014) when it comes to considering communication mediums as accelerators of the process of individualization; Zygmunt Bauman (2001) to reflect about such process as a fatality rather than a choice; Georg Simmel (1903) to investigate how the life in the metropolis affects the individual and causes the blasé attitude; Michel Foucault (1984) for contextualization of what represents dietetics; and Edgar Morin (2014) and Edgar Carvalho (2008) to using filmic analysis as means for sociological investigation. The film, the corpus of this work, was analyzed through four reading keys (television, dress, refrigerator and table), considered as elements of the narrative that dialogue with contemporary sociocultural aspects. Through this analysis, we interpret that the movie Requiem for a Dream problematizes themes which allow inferences about compulsions and ways of dealing with the body that interfere with food; that the manipulation of the body through diet may symbolize a way of dealing with the blasé phenomenon caused by metropolitan life; and that the weakening of social relationships has significant impact on transformations and excessive concerns associated with food and the act of eating.

    Os corpos que podem: uma etnografia nas plataformas digitais do "Cantinho dos Cadeirantes"
    (Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2019-08-26) Pereira, Diego Leonardo Barreto; Silva, Josimey Costa da; ; ; Dantas, Alexsandro Galeno Araújo; ; Klein, Eloisa Joseane da Cunha; ; França, Fagner Torres de;
    What does it mean to be normal? Is there only one way to be a disabled person and a wheelchair user? This is the reflexive challenge of the research which resulted in this Master's dissertation. The focus of its discussion is the body of the wheelchair person seen as a transgressor of the social conduct norms, taking into consideration that digital technologies and media create new experience possibilities. From March to September of 2018 and from April to May of 2019, we have executed an ethnography and a documental research focusing on the digital platforms (website, Facebook and Instagram) of the "“Cantinho dos Cadeirantes”", a virtual space of socialization created by Carolini Constatino that counts nearly 45,000 followers on Facebook and 15,000 on Instagram. The metodology has included the interaction with the participants of these spaces, the analysis of the content published on the platforms and the application of questionnaires with four participants and the administrator of the platforms. The determination of the corpus analyzed in this study has obeyed the succeeding criteria: number of likes, comments and shared posts, and the recurrence of the topics covered. We identified that the narratives related to corporal experiences, as well as the sociabilities which resulted from the use of the platforms were plural. In addition, such aspects favored distinct possibilities for the existence of their actors in multiple aspects of social life, as the political, the ones related to sexuality, and the existence or not of acceptance of one's own body. By means of the ethnographic insertion, we observed manifestations of diversity when it comes to being a wheelchair user though the “Cantinho dos Cadeirantes”, by evoking discussions which deal with themes directly related to the daily life of these people. Therefore, we concluded that the "Cantinho" is an agency which potentializes the deconstruction of prejudice and ableism regarding people with disabilities. As a theoretical support, we applied the ideas of ableism and normative body (Anahí Guedes Mello, 2014), agency (Sherry Ortner, 2007), technology and its socio-political impacts (Bortolazzo, 2016; Bauman, 2018; Serres, 2018), and of social construction of the body (LeBretton, 2017; Mauss, 2003; Mary Douglas, 1988).

    Fim de ciclo do governo pós-neoliberal no Brasil: o PT, o Estado e o golpe institucional
    (Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2019-02-19) Barbieri, André Augusto de Paula; Vitullo, Gabriel Eduardo; ; ; Rojas, Gonzalo Adrian; ; Aguiar, Jórissa Danilla Nascimento;
    Latin America is facing a sort of “end cycle” of the governments that were known as “progressives” or “post-neoliberals”. This heterogeneous group of political forces attained the highest posts of command as a product of the weakening process of the neoliberal parties in the end of the 1990s, and of the economic crisis in Latin America in the early 2000s. Forces self-declared “national and popular” – as “kirchnerism” in Argentina, the government of Evo Morales in Bolivia, Hugo Chávez in Venezuela, and the Workers’ Party in Brazil – ascended to the presidency of these countries with a program of revenue redistribution and social inclusion, aiming to assimilate movements that opposed the neoliberal offensive within a platform of collaboration with local capitalists. Our aim was to find some of the reasons that called forth the reversal of the post-neoliberal political landscape in Brazil. This process resulted – amid severe contradictions – in the rearrangement of political forces traditionally belonging to the right-wing spectrum, after the parliamentary-judiciary coup d'etat in 2016, that ultimately led to the electoral triumph of Bolsonaro in 2018, aided by the Supreme Court of Justice and the tutelage of the Armed Forces. Methodologically, we went through the study of the conception of the State in the early discussions of foundation within the Workers’ Party, also in its National Congresses in the 80s, navigating through its policies when head of the State, in dialogue with some of the scholars who dedicated studies about this topic. We concluded that some of the reasons that explain this "reversal" in Brazil's political landscape are to be found in the Worker's Party own policies. The cornerstones of economic policies originated in the 90s and that had deepened in the Workers’ Party governments – specially the increasing process of outsourcing – and the further austerity measures adopted in Dilma Rousseff's second term collaborated in the strengthening of right-wing forces which attained power after 2016.
