Dos rios à tela de cristal líquido: o retorno do mito e a arquitetura da cultura convergente em League of Legends
(Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos, 2015-08) MACEDO, Tarcízio Pereira; AMARAL FILHO, Otacílio
This paper seeks to weave an analysis about the online game known as League of Legends, understanding it as a contemporary cultural product and a transmedia world, with the possibility of tracing a path of competitive games, often taken with a predominance of competition (agôn), as vectors of a meaningful narrative. In this sense, we try to identify some phenomena of the so-called convergent architecture culture in the game from the creation of a skin based on Amazon Iara. Thus, we present the history, the functioning and the relationships that the game and its transmidiatic products have with the global consumer culture, as well as their strategies in order to attract consumers to a virtual environment, promoting participatory culture, the reframing and the return of the myth in contemporary societies.

Entre banzeiros e remansos: memórias da professora Ionete da Silveira Gama
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-04-13) RODRIGUES, Josivana de Castro; SILVA, Carlos Aldemir Farias da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7226908910873590; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5463-1316
Memory is humans’ ability to preserve meaningful things that happened in the past. By making us remember events, it allows us to tread again important pathways of collective and individual human trajectories. In this dissertation, our objective is to recollect fragments of the memories of a teacher, Ionete da Silveira Gama, in order to understand how her life experiences influenced her music, and how did it relate to primary school contents she taught in riverside cities in the countryside of the state of Pará. Her memories as a teacher make us understand how important it is to use work methodologies which include the sociocultural experiences of students to teach contents from different school subjects, from an interdisciplinary standpoint. We ask ourselves how does Ionete Gama’s music blend Amazonian cultural elements with the natural sciences in an interdisciplinary perspective, and how can it be connected to the themes taught in Primary School? To reach this goal, we recorded fragments of her life’s story through interviews, so as to understand her trajectory, emphasizing the reminiscences of her childhood by the Amazonian riverside and of the years she dedicated to teaching river dwellers. These interviews were written down and became an (auto)biographical narrative that is complimented by her images and documents. In this dissertation, we give pride of place to six songs that refer to environmental aspects that are integral to the Amazonian culture and, based on them, we elaborated illustrated stories for children. The stories are aimed at the primary school level of education.

Saberes populares na produção de derivados da mandioca como ferramentas para o ensino de conceitos científicos
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-06-13) DURAES, Murillo Rodrigo Nazareno Albuquerque; PESSOA, Wilton Rabelo; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0244057330247829; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9966-9585
The dawning of science and the emergence of new technologies from the beginning of the last century gave rise in the world to an overvaluation of scientific thinking in relation to other forms of understanding reality; thus, much knowledge were being cast aside or subjugated to the evaluation of "right" or "wrong" by the "truth-keepers." In recent years this most dogmatic view has been overlooked, and much progress has been made in seeking connections between what one learns in academies and what one knows empirically. In this aspect, the school has among its various functions the task of questioning exclusionary paradigms and when necessary to seek new elements that make the teaching and learning processes more broad and meaningful. Thus, this research aims to investigate how the popular knowledge present in the production of cassava derivatives, especially flour, can serve as tools for the teaching of scientific concepts, particularly of chemistry, in order to contribute to the construction of a society that values its local culture more and has greater respect for the past generations. Through a qualitative approach that approximates the ethnographic characteristics, a brief theoretical survey was initially carried out in which information was sought about what has been the object of study of research on the subject and also to know other relevant aspects of it. Field visits were also carried out in which two family farms producing cassava flour were interviewed in order to know the process of obtaining cassava flour and to perceive through the lines and practices of them possible connections between the popular knowledge and the students. Using the analysis of content according to Bardin (2011) identified through these lines and practical possibilities of dialogue between knowledge with great potential for teaching key concepts such as: combustion; mixtures; separation processes of mixtures; organic and inorganic substances; hydrolysis; toxicity etc. It is important to emphasize that there is still a lot of work to be done to build a more egalitarian and just school; however, the search for new teaching approaches that value local identity, the knowledge and the language of the people is an important step to be taken; and without doubt, positive
