Abstract

MOURTHE JUNIOR, Carlos Alberto; LIMA, Valéria Vernaschi e PADILHA, Roberto de Queiroz. Integrating emotions and rationalities for the development of competence in active learning methodologies. Interface (Botucatu) [online]. 2018, vol.22, n.65, pp.577-588. Epub 21-Dez-2017. ISSN 1807-5762. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1807-57622016.0846. This paper discusses a rationalist/objectivist tradition of teaching and learning, with the support of a constructivist, dialogic and competence-based educational practice. Artistic expressions, particularly cinematographic ones, are presented as educational triggers. Students are organized into small groups in which they share, correlate and discuss their emotions, allowing for a better understanding of the rationalities involved in the learning process. As the groups present different stages of problematizing their emotion, we propose categories to support teachers and members

An ounce of prevention is worth a ton of cure: imaginary diseases in journalism

Abstract

GOMES, Denise Cristina Ayres. An ounce of prevention is worth a ton of cure: imaginary diseases in journalism. Interface (Botucatu) [online]. 2018, vol.22, n.65, pp.493-503. Epub 20-Jul-2017. ISSN 1807-5762. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1807-57622016.0948. We use the theories of the imaginary to understand how journalism tends to redefine the status of what it is to be or to feel sick through the dissemination of the culture of risk. The journalistic devices promote the potential or imaginary disease, acting on the daily practices, thus becoming a “technology of the imaginary”. We suffer in anticipation, afraid of the future that may carry a disease. We should be aware, either through the regulation of our habits or the discovery of genetic tendencies
