Da epistemologia moderna à epistemologia complexa de Edgar Morin: repercussões sobre o humanismo
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2022-03-03) MONTEIRO NETO, Benedito da Conceição; NUNES, Antônio Sérgio da Costa; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2937593233363602; SOUZA, Luís Eduardo Ramos de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7892900979434696
Our objective, in the present work, is dedicated to demonstrating the main epistemological elements of the complexity elaborated by Edgar Morin in general contrast with the principles of the modern method of Descartes. We start from the following guiding questions: how does the passage from modern ordered knowledge to complex organized knowledge occur and how does this knowledge culminate in a conception of humanism? The hypothesis we defend is that Morin's principles of complexity are exposed as a critical dialogue about the limitations of the modern method, pointing out how the last one has an ambivalent impact on science and society under the name of degenerate humanism and a regenerated humanism. Methodologically, we discuss, firstly, the conception of science and method in modernity, starting with the arguments that precede and formulate the organization of a quantitative method of knowledge, having as a central axis the contributions of Descartes in his main works (1952). The second part of the text turns to the conception of science and method according to the contributions of the epistemology of complexity, proposed by Edgar Morin (1996, 2011, 2015, 2016), where we present the main intelligibilities of his theory: the dialogic principle, the recursive principle, the hologrammatic principle. In the third and last part of the text, we compare complex thinking and modernity based on the concept of humanism. Initially, we expose the reading of modernity by complexity, highlighting the category of rationalization. Then, we explain how the modern method has repercussions in contemporary times with the advent of the action ecology. Finally, we present a reconstruction of an alternative method and knowledge, capable of dealing with uncertainties, culminating in the proposal of a regeneration of humanism.

A natureza complexa do patrimônio paleontológico da praia do Atalaia, munícipio de Salinópolis, Pará, Amazônia Oriental, Brasil
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2021-09-02) SILVA, Rayana Alexandra Sousa da; COSTA, Sue Anne Regina Ferreira da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3629751361208856; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3314-5148
In this research, we reflect on Paleontological Heritage as a specifically complex heritage category that is inserted in environmental, cultural and mineral policies. The analysis starts from a review of the transformations in the conceptions of cultural and natural heritage in Brazil, to problematize the various dimensions that interfere in the processes of heritage patrimonialization, besides contextualizing and reinforcing its social importance in a context of great complexity. We will look specifically at the paleontological heritage of Atalaia Beach, which is one of the main beach resorts in the state of Pará, receiving tourists from all over Brazil and the world every year. The region's patrimony is formed by an expressive fossil record from the Brazilian marine Cenozoic, dating from 23 to 25 m.y., representing the transgressive moment of advance and retreat of the Atlantic Ocean over the continent. The fossils found are mainly of marine invertebrates and vertebrates, such as manatees, rays, sharks, gastropods and fishes. Thus, the main objective of this work is to investigate and analyze the paleontological heritage of Atalaia Beach, seeking to relate and communicate among themselves the subjects, environmental context and cultural heritage. To this end, based on Morin, in the method that seeks complexity through the creation of avenues of approach, we carried out observations in different pheres: a public hearing for environmental licensing, an activity with elementary school teachers and an interview with a private collector of fossils. The results presented in the form of two articles point out that a) the use of this heritage follows a utilitarian logic of nature transformation; b) we highlight a complex network of environmental, economic and social issues that must be considered when any project of valorization, education or even of analysis of the paleontological heritage of Atalaia Beach is intended; c) we point out the urgent need to transform our practices in relation to paleontological heritage, so that we can think and act upon it in a more comprehensive way, conceiving it as a fundamental right which contributes to the full exercise of citizenship.
