World Women in Mathematics 2018
The first World Meeting for Women in Mathematics - (WM)2 - was a satellite event of the International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) 2018 in Rio de Janeiro. With a focus on Latin America, the first (WM)2 brought together mathematicians from all over the world to celebrate women mathematicians, and also to reflect on gender issues in mathematics, challenges, initiatives, and perspectives for the future. Its activities were complemented by a panel discussion organized by the Committee for Women in Mathematics (CWM) of the International Mathematical Union (IMU) inside the ICM 2018 entitled "The gender gap in mathematical and natural sciences from a historical perspective”. This historical p...
EDUCAÇÃO NO CONTEXTO CONTEMPORÂNEO: Ensino, Diálogos e Perspectivas – Volume 1
A presente obra reúne capítulos que abordam diversos temas dos contextos contemporâneos nas diversas áreas do conhecimento e níveis de escolaridade de modo a integrar as aprendizagens para esclarecer e orientar enquanto recursos de aperfeiçoamento tão necessários no auxílio do processo de ensino e aprendizagem tanto para os profissionais envolvidos ou interessados em Educação. Este livro, na forma de coletânea, expressa processos amplos de reflexão sobre a educação contemporânea, constituindo importante espaço de análise para a sistematização e produção de conhecimentos interdisciplinares com aprofundamento de algumas constatações iniciais do debate educacional contemporâneo acerca de temas urgentes que se constituem numa prática educacional e no exercício do processo de ensino e aprendizagem.
Shifting the Meaning of Democracy
This book offers a historical analysis of one of the most striking and dramatic transformations to take place in Brazil and the United States during the twentieth century—the redefinition of the concepts of nation and democracy in racial terms. The multilateral political debates that occurred between 1930 and 1945 pushed and pulled both states towards more racially inclusive political ideals and nationalisms. Both countries utilized cultural production to transmit these racial political messages. At times working collaboratively, Brazilian and U.S. officials deployed the concept of “racial democracy” as a national security strategy, one meant to suppress the existential threats perceived to be posed by World War II and by the political agendas of communists, fascists, and blacks. Consequently, official racial democracy was limited in its ability to address racial inequities in the United States and Brazil. Shifting the Meaning of Democracy helps to explain the historical roots of a contemporary phenomenon: the coexistence of widespread antiracist ideals with enduring racial inequality.
The Art of Cultural Exchange
Can cultural exchange be understood as a mutual act of translation? Or are elements of a country’s cultural identity inevitably lost in the act of exchange? Brazil and Great Britain, although unlikely collaborators, have shared an artistic dialogue that can be traced back some 500 years. This publication, arising from the namesake research project funded by the United Kingdom’s Arts and Humanities Research Council, seeks to understand and raise awareness of the present practices of cultural exchange between Brazil and Great Britain in relation to their historical legacy. Presenting five case studies and eight position papers, this research-based project investigates how artists interpret...
O florescer da grumixama
Esta obra contribui para ampliar o repertório de propostas para o ensino da matemática. A obra apresenta reflexões importantes, de diferentes pesquisadores, realizadas dentro de um grupo de pesquisa sobre Etnomatemática, o Gepem/FE/USP, ao longo dos seus mais de 20 anos de estudos, contribuindo para o ensino de Matemática em contextos culturais de grupos étnicos. São apresentadas investigações e práticas, em torno de temáticas, que envolvem alteridade e escuta com base nas obras de Paulo Freire, da diversidade indígena, africana e afro-brasileira, matemática nas políticas curriculares, inspiradas pela perspectiva da Etnomatemática, Educação popular, Etnomodelagem e formação de novos pesquisadores em Etnomatemática.

Making Samba
In November 1916, a young Afro-Brazilian musician named Donga registered sheet music for the song "Pelo telefone" ("On the Telephone") at the National Library in Rio de Janeiro. This apparently simple act—claiming ownership of a musical composition—set in motion a series of events that would shake Brazil's cultural landscape. Before the debut of "Pelo telephone," samba was a somewhat obscure term, but by the late 1920s, the wildly popular song had helped to make it synonymous with Brazilian national music. The success of "Pelo telephone" embroiled Donga in controversy. A group of musicians claimed that he had stolen their work, and a prominent journalist accused him of selling out his people in pursuit of profit and fame. Within this single episode are many of the concerns that animate Making Samba, including intellectual property claims, the Brazilian state, popular music, race, gender, national identity, and the history of Afro-Brazilians in Rio de Janeiro. By tracing the careers of Rio's pioneering black musicians from the late nineteenth century until the 1970s, Marc A. Hertzman revises the histories of samba and of Brazilian national culture.
