De corpo e alma na margem: catolicismo, santidade e medicina no Norte de Portugal (c. 1900 - c. 1950)

Abstract

RESUMONum primeiro olhar, a personalidade religiosa da beata Alexandrina Maria da Costa surge como estranha e desconcertante. Este artigo propõe um exercício de compreensão histórica e antropológica que reduz essa estranheza. Sustenta-se que este caso reflete a história de uma comunidade com uma identidade religiosa forte, onde um catolicismo devocional convivia com investidas clericais visando promover uma subjetividade espiritual. Ao mesmo tempo, a medicina e a psiquiatria forneceram novas grelhas de interpretação da experiência religiosa. Este conjunto heterogêneo de elementos formou uma mística vernacular que atribuiu novos significados às entidades liminais próprias do universo religioso do Norte de Portugal. A linguagem da mística vernacular construiu a interioridade de uma experiência que, em sua singularidade, foi sempre fortemente socializada. Palavras-chave: santidade popular; mística; medicina e psiquiatria; liminalidade; Alexandrina de Balasar.ABSTRACT On a first approach, the religious personality of Blessed Alexandrina Maria da Costa strikes us as strange and disconcerting. An exercise in historical and anthropological comprehension, this article reduces such strangeness. It is argued that this case reflects the history of a local community with a strong religious identity, in which devotional forms of Catholicism combined with initiatives on the part of the clergy aiming to promote spiritual subjectivities. At the same time, Medicine and Psychiatry provided new interpretation frameworks regarding religious experiences. From this ensemble of heterogeneous elements eventually emerged a vernacular form of mysticism, within which the traditional liminal entities acquired new meanings. The language of vernacular mysticism constructed the interiority of an experience that, albeit singular, was always strongly socialized.

Political regimes matter: Participation practices in the context of a competitive oligarchic policymaking in water management in Duque de Caxias, Brazil, 2007–2017

“…The dominant TPPC for the 2007-2017 period reinforces the isolation of DdC and the DdC's dependence on "water production" advocacy. 13 The power of the TPPC comes from the privileged links at the level of the federated state, between CEDAE, private-public works companies (Marques, 1998), 14 the secretariats of state, and the governor, 15 which allow the TPPC to monopolize the relevant resources and capacities to act in the water sector (access to technical information and financing, access to decisionmaking places and to operational management of infrastructures). The TPPC remains the "owner" (Gusfield, 1989) of the problem and the solutions; by virtue of its advocacy based on "water production," it has been monitoring water management for several decades.…”

“…The Governor appoints the CEDAE leadership team upon taking office (chairpersons and a team of administrative and technical directors), 18 and there is an interchangeability of functions between CEDAE and political functions in the state. Even though this interchangeability is less than it was in the 1950–2000 period (Marques, 1998, p. 157), it remains structural—the movement of CEDAE technicians to senior civil service posts in the state (Secretariat for the Environment, which recently integrated water, and Public Works, Governor's Office) is based on the political co‐option of technicians. The president of CEDAE from 2006 to 2015 (W. Victer, Civil Engineer) was before that an operational engineer of the company for the electrical production of the Guandu system, of Petrobras, and then was Secretary of State for Energy and Oil of the State of Rio.…”

“…1616One of the major explanations for this collusion is the public works market, an indispensable resource for financing political campaigns and enterprises (Marques, 1998). During the period studied for this article, these collusions have been the subject of judicial chronicles (imprisonment and trials of dozens of people: Cabral, Pezao [former governors], Correa [former Secretary of State for the Environment], Pexoto, Braga [Secretaries of State for Public Works], Vidal Borroso, Rabelo [collaborators on governors' cabinets] (MPS activists, personal communication, May 7, 2015).…”

Montagem, instrumentação, controle e desenvolvimento experimental de um processo fermentativo extrativo de produção de etanol

“…Atendendo à normalização, e às necessidades do mercado, atualmente os fabricantes de componentes, sensores e atuadores desenvolvidos para a automação de plantas desenvolvem produtos compatíveis entre si, que podem ser operados por um mesmo sistema supervisório. Segundo Moraes & Castrucci (2001) citado por Pupo (2002), os sistemas supervisórios ou IHM (Interface Homem Máquina) surgiram da necessidade de uma interface amigável eficiente e ergonômica, entre sistemas de automação complexos e a equipe encarregada de sua produção. No caso dos CLP's, os IHM's podem ser utilizados para enviar sinais de operação simples como liga-desliga e monitorar uma variável de processo.…”
