Apropriar-se: o acontecimento poético em contos de Clarice Lispector: (...à beira do abismo, estamos)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-09-04) ATAÍDE, Luciana de Barros; FERRAZ, Antônio Máximo von Sohsten Gomes; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5982898787473373
The present research intends to identify the relationship between Being, language and thought in narratives of Clarice Lispector, having as reference, mainly, stories that the writer produced throughout the life, from the "First stories" - narratives produced in the decade of 1940 - until the "Last Stories" - produced in the 1970s. In all, twenty one narratives will be studied in which the Being is in force as a matter. However, excerpts from other narratives will also be present, since the approach will be permeated by the search for the appropriative poetic event (Ereignis) through the problematization of the notions of writing and thinking, technique and art, being-alone and being-with, finitude and singularization, I and World. The intention is to show the intertwining ser-man-language-truth under the labyrinth of the question of origin. In Clarice's narratives emerges the investigative project that aims to unfold the essence of man that happens as language - since it is the home of Being and in his dwelling man lives - being a work of listening, understanding and interpretation of the Inherent Questions to the human condition. Thus, starting from the phenomenological-hermeneutic contribution, it will be possible to establish a relationship between Clarice Lispector's literature with thinkers such as Martin Heidegger (especially), Merleau-Ponty, Gaston Bachelard and Manuel Antônio de Castro, among others of great relevance for this study. Another reference of great importance that will support this study is the work The second sex (1980) of the thinker Simone de Beauvoir within the line of 'becoming' with regard to the human condition in possibilities and also with regard to the relation asymmetric gender that tends to reduce female freedom within society. Clarice not only worked as the word, but also with the thought that provides the perception of the velar and unveiling of the man, enabling him to the appropriation of himself, since it is a poetic saying that shows itself as the founding dimension of the condition human, revealed by overwhelming force for engendering a new worldview that lies beyond everyday superficiality. It is, therefore, in this study, narratives (tales) that expose Clarice's artistic-literary work in which poetry dwells in the proximity of thought by constructing a saying that evokes the essence of language.

Compreensão das vivências de psicólogas sobre o trabalho no hospital durante a Covid-19
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-12-07) LIMA, Natasha Cabral Ferraz de; PIMENTEL, Adelma do Socorro Gonçalves; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4534230240595626
The research focuses on understanding the experiences of Psychologists who worked in a hospital in Belém/Pará, the capital located in the Northern Region of Brazil, during the Covid-19 pandemic which, specifically, had significant repercussions on the lives of those who experienced it. As in all social sectors, psychological action during the pandemic period found it necessary to adjust its practice to the emerging challenges posed by Covid-19. With the aim of carrying out a study on the perceptions of psychology professionals who worked in the hospital area during the Covid-19 pandemic, this dissertation is a qualitative study based on existential phenomenological theory. The data analysis method comes from Amedeo Giorgi's perspective. The study was approved by the UFPA Ethics Committee. The profile of the research participants was limited to five psychologists, over 18 years old, residents of greater Belém/PA, who cared for people infected and hospitalized by Covid-19 between March 2019 and March 2022. Based on the analysis of the structure From experience we identified common meanings in all interviews: 1. Volatility of information, speed of daily changes, intrinsic characteristics of the health emergency; 2. PPE issues affecting service and physical and humanized contact; 3. From the patient to the healthcare team, the pandemic affected everyone's mental health, in different forms and degrees of suffering; 4. During the pandemic, Information and Communication Technologies became essential to care; 5. Clinical Psychology was considered an essential service; 6. Healthcare professionals expressed the need for self-care. Also from the contextualization of the unique aspects of subjectivity between the interviews, we revealed the variant aspects: 1. Capacity for personal creative adjustment based on self-perception and self-knowledge; 2. Pandemic and gender issues; 3. Weakening post-pandemic health. The research is considered relevant due to the unveiling of subjective and intersubjective findings from the experience of Psychologists during the pandemic. We conclude that the study pointed out indicators for new research in mental health and care strategies, as well as the deepening of the modalities of providing psychological care, through ICTs.

Considerações sobre a fenomenologia hermenêutica de Heidegger
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2018-04) SEIBT, Cezar Luís
The text points to what characterizes Heidegger's phenomenology, situating it in its larger context in the 1920s to 1930s. Heidegger intends a phenomenology in the phenomenological sense and this implies in his work of deconstruction of the metaphysical tradition to rediscover the meaning of being, buried by the daily tendency of human existence involved with beings (objects and their representations). The things themselves will not be, for this author, the objects or entities, but the enabling horizon of the beings, which is the sense of being. Moreover, it will be hermeneutic because it is about recognizing the finite and historical condition of the human being as an interpreter already always involved in a comprehensive circle.

Corpo, ambiente e aprendizagem: etnografia sensorial sobre o mundo da vida cotidiana em comunidade camponesas amazônicas
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2020-06-26) ALVES, Vitória Mendes; CASTRO, Fábio Fonseca de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5700042332015787
This is an interdisciplinary research that discusses the connection between body, environment and ways of technical apprenticeship with the socio-environmental indicators (COSTA, FERNANDES 2016) of amazonian agroextrative peasantry. The field work was carried out in the region of the islands of Mocajuba, specifically in the locality of São Joaquim, lower Tocantins region, state of Pará. Using sensory etnography (PINK, 2009) as the method and assuming a phenomenological approach, we take as a starting point the lifeworld (SCHUTZ, 1970) and daily life of peasant communities. Experiences such as shrimp fishing, cocoa extractivism and preparing fish for consumption are described in order to demonstrate the link between techniques of the body and the environment in which they inhabit. Thus, we conclude that a) these techniques are not transmited, but taught and learned by a complex sensorial engagement with the environment (LAVE, 2015) and b) the entanglement body-environment (INGOLD, 2015) is central to peasant daily life, which implies interpreting it while overcoming the dualisms of culture/nature and production/reproduction. These connections partially explain the socio-environmental virtuosity expressed in the data.

Crianças que se revelam agressivas: um estudo fenomenológico sobre o reconhecimento da agressividade em escolares
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2008-05-12) RIBEIRO, Elizabete Cristina Monteiro; PIMENTEL, Adelma do Socorro Gonçalves; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4534230240595626
The aggressiveness in childhood has been presented as a recurrent complaint by parents and teachers, which introduces a worrying scenario in that the identification of the child and his family as primary responsibility is still sharp. This study present a childhood aggression initial understanding from the Person-Centered Approach, as like the education proposed in this reference articulating with some complexity theory principles. Considering that the child recognized as aggressive has been made in a subjectivity process which significant socially people are involved, this research through a phenomenological research aimed to check the recognition configuration from the participants testimonies analysis: the child identified as aggressive, a colleague, the mother and teacher. The study was done in a selected school from the mapping by the Centre of Violence in Schools Core-Pa. The results point to: a subjectivity vision subsidizing the linear link form, the distance used as a teaching resource to avoid the conflict, the previous manifested aggression denouncing the student stories and current experience, a relationship between the child condition to react label and family history, the repercussions of how it is recognized at school in their learning process. The participants experienced feelings allow us to pay attention to the condition involvement that includes then, reaffirming the need to seek ways to promote changes in the student and the school seeing way. This changes must be introduced from a complex interactive subjectivity human vision, enabling understand the aggressiveness subjectivity from a scenario that may reveal multiple meanings.

Deus e o Diabo nos detalhes: a ética em Buber e Adorno
(2003) MENDONÇA, Kátia Marly Leite
The author approaches Violence from a ''personalist and phenomenological'' perspective, so that the issue do not remain exclusevily referred to its usual sense, the violation of physical integrity. The article takes M. Buber and T. Adorno philosophies – both concerned with the construction of a ''phenomenology of sensibilities'' – as a support for its own elaboration, and compares their ethical implications, showing how a enlarged understanding of Violence rises from that point of view.

A dimensão fenomenológica da linguagem como possibilitadora do ser-aí historial
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2017-08-11) SOUSA, Fabrício Coelho de; SOUZA JÚNIOR, Nelson José de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7150345624593204
The question of language in the years 1932 to 1934 emerges as an urgent matter of foundation and, let alone, redirection of Heidegger's thought. The philosopher feels the need to base his phenomenology with a new methodological bias that allows a visualization of the context and assurance of the bases in which the being-there is, in a context of being already with one another. This context of already beingone-with-another will at no time is of secondary importance in relation to language, but it will have to be deployed in its details for the assumption of language itself as the driving force of Heidegger's thought in those years. For this, Heidegger, In the summer lecture of 1934 entitled "Logic as the Questioning of the Essence of Language”, begins by making an analysis of what is the essence of language and comes to the conclusion that we will not reach this essence if we understand language only as an exposition of the modus operandi of thought : Logic. The essence of language springs from the essence of the being of the human being as a historical being. Language arises as a measure of the innermost limits of the constitution of being-there while being-one-with-another, or to be even more in keeping with Heidegger's pretensions, the innermost limits of being-there history constituted as Volk. In this context, language is more than a mere instrument at the disposal of man. On the contrary, language is that which first disposes the being of man in the world, opening the possibility of being in the midst of beings, giving him an understanding of the relationships in which he is inserted. We must understand language not as a logical-grammatical device of articulation of words, but rather in the phenomenological sense as a primary organizer that makes sense of the relationships between beings and beings-there.

Fenomenologia da Comunicação em sua quotidianidade
(2013-12) CASTRO, Fábio Fonseca de
The article reflects on the relationship between Communication and communicative everyday processes using Martin Heidegger's philosophy. Intending to interpret the communicative phenomenon from a phenomenological and hermeneutical approach, we seek to understand Communication as tacit condition of every being in the world and we discuss the banal and quotidian character of Communication through Heidegger's notion of idle talk (Gerede), comprehended it as a fundamental communicative experience. The aim of the paper is to understand the Communication in its most basic phenomenal condition, wich we have identified as their intersubjective condition. With this proposition, the article also seeks to understand Communication without the metaphysical bonds that are required to think on it, in other words a condition of effectiveness of language and meaning. Doing this, we start a phenomenology approach by which Communication could be comprehended as intersubjective and daily phenomenon.

This qualitative research of orientation Phenomenology, existential gestalt, tries to reveal some meanings attributed to the phenomenon of the abuse sexual inside family, through a case study in that the informer, of the 9 to the 11 years, were been victim for the father and still today, in her existential field, she is influenced by the existence of that experience. The violence against the child, in their several modalities, is a problem of public health and of relationships between family and who takes care the child. In if treating of the sexual abuse, in that the aggressor is the responsible for the primary cares, usually, there is denial for the victim, aggressor and the family, and almost always, it happens, involving more than a violence modality. Same not having a consensus among the authors, it is puts in prominence the noxious effects of those events on the health psychic, occupational, physics and the victims' of the development. The data were collected in ONG Republica of Emaús including reading of documents, informal reports, participant observation and interview with the adolescent, being this last one, the main appreciation source. The analysis of the interview conjugated, insofar as possible, the theory of the interpretation of Ricoeur, some concepts of the gestalt-therapy as the one of contact, illustration-bottom, and psychological nutrition and of the Occupational Therapy, as areas, components and the performance contexts. Of the interview were created units of significance that orientated the reflections concerning the meanings of the adolescent's speech. Some results are: presentation of the weight of the existence of the sexual abuse some times as evidence sometimes as bottom; repercussions owncontact without functionality and contact with the other; in the own-image, selfesteem and in some acting areas: learning and socialization. The creative adjustment can be identified in the opening in revealing the experience, what suggests expansion of their contact borders. A conclusion that the study reach, was about the adolescent's relationship with the father that still, she stands out while an open gestalt.

Linguagem e comunicação em Heidegger
(Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo, 2014-06) CASTRO, Fábio Fonseca de
This article discusses the ontological dimension in the Heideggerian category of “talking,” based on which we seek to make an interpretation of communication as a fundamentally intersubjective phenomenon. To this end, we use Heidegger’s Being and Time. We begin by explaining Heidegger’s concept of language, which he discusses in the above cited book, to gain an understanding of this philosopher’s concept of communication. We seek to demonstrate that talking is equivalent to giving ordinary meaning to something: not the encounter, the revelation, of the meaning itself of something, in its so-called ontical dimension, but the meaning present in intersubjectivity, in the shared world, and in the resources of understanding that the individual uses in his interactions with others. Based on this rationale, we seek to demonstrate that philosophical reflections about language and communication should be rooted in the ontology of being-with-others in order to go beyond the bounds of the individual’s metaphysics and of subjectivity in order to gain a deeper understanding of the phenomenon of intersubjectivity.

No emaranhado do Guamá: trajetos etnográficos numa feira de Belém
(Universidade de São Paulo, 2017) CASTRO, Fábio Fonseca de
This seeks a phenomenological description of Guamá’s market, located in a neighborhood of Belém, Brazil. Dialoguing with ethnocartography procedures, we start with a comprehensive exposition of the spatiality of the market. We hope to enhance endogenous dimension of local spatial experience. Undertaking a phenomenology of the place means, in our understanding, a double movement: First, to ask how the social subjects find the world in its spatial complexity and, then, to interpret how these encouters are used to make sense to spatial world. One sees the space as a dimension experienced by individuals, and not as something foreshadowed by representations. Thus, the market we describe corresponds a space in its intersubjective dimension: not as something pre-ontologically given, but rather as an ongoing construction of meaning.

The research objectives were to assess the professional practice / social worker, the area of education, the Administrative District of Guama (DAGUA) in Belém-Pará; the degree of influence of lifestyles that make experiences present in the social development of the individual case, and particularly in the work of these social workers process. Left of the assumptions that: the way of life influences the professional practice / social worker; the practice of social work is being rethought in everyday life; the social worker has a defined understanding of the theory you use in everyday practice; works published in Brazil currently do not meet the theoretical-methodological and operative technical dimensions of Social Service. Employs various techniques for the implementation of research and dialogue with currents of thought that influence social work since its inception. Appropriates the phenomenology for the dialectical interpretation of the results and also the Marxist theory as support reading of the reality. The existential-phenomenological method enabled to grasp the concrete / real in the reports of the interviews, which was evident in day to day issues of School Social Work, as the scarcity of professionals, bad structural conditions for the realization of professional intervention, the issue of various forms of violence, poor training, the need for greater openness to the plurality of ideas in theoretical and methodological conduct of professional practice.

Ser orientador em programas de pós-graduação em educação: uma descrição fenomenológica
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2013-03-04) FERNANDES, Roseane do Socorro da Silva Reis; MOREIRA, Wagner Wey; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5798244047692726
This study describes the research about what is to be an orienteer teacher into programs of post-graduation in education, developed with eight teachers of the Post-Graduation Program in Education of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte. This is a qualitative research based on the phenomenon that is situated and it has as interrogatives: what is to be a orienteer teacher? How they develop the function of orienteer? The empiric data were produced by interviews that had the purpose to present the existential position that the teachers produce in their experience to orientate and also to identify how they play the function to be an orienteer. Our thesis is that to be an orienteer only can be understood at the time that they start to live the experience, not by the behavior submit a pre-conceived world, in opposite, when they exist in the world of the education is when they create their existential base. The theoretical referential of the Phenomenology of Merleau-Ponty, in special the work Phenomenology of the Perception, gives sustentation to this study. The data produced through the interviews with the orienteer teachers shows that to be orienteer is to be together, to learn, to open the horizons, to deal with the pressure of the system, with the singularity of the human condition, it´s a kind of activity that make you grow, to learn, to be disappointed, to feel important like as in others situations in life. The relationship between orienteer and their students must be based on empathy e can´t be reduced only into an exchange of knowledge, but also of affection and that´s why sometimes is a dramatic relation, including the projections of the both. We do not defend that is not necessary one formation that attends the specifics requests of the activity of orientation. In opposite, a educative practice demands interlocutions, to understand what happen to us, what we have done and why we have done, what it was successful and what was not, it´s to share life, into a project that have as its basis the human existence e its possibilities to come-to-be.

A sociologia fenomenológica de Alfred Schutz
(Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos, 2012-04) CASTRO, Fábio Fonseca de
This paper develops a bio-bibliographical review of the thought of Alfred Schutz and his project to set up a phenomenological sociology. Schutz’s work operates at the confluence of Weber’s comprehensive sociology with Husserl’s phenomenology and can be understood from the perspective of an anti-essentialist theory whose main assumption is the rejec tion of a full rationality of the real. His proposal is to reestablish, phenomenologically, comprehensive sociology. However, in order to do it, it was necessary to develop a critique of Husserl’s transcendental egology and put the theme of subjectivity in a sociological perspective, establishing the matrix of the idea of intersubjectivity – something that goes beyond the mere constellation of individual subjectivities, inherent in Husserl’s thought. Schutz’s thought presents a solution to the problem of intersubjectivity in sociology by building the core framework of a phenomenological sociology.

Um estudo crítico das psicoterapias fenomenológico - existenciais: terapia centrada na pessoa e gestalt-terapia
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2007-06-01) BEZERRA, Márcia Elena Soares; PIMENTEL, Adelma do Socorro Gonçalves; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4534230240595626
This study consists on a theoretical research which aims to develop critical reflections on the epistemological bases of the person centered therapy and of the gestalttherapy configured in the conceptual matrices elaborated by Carl Rogers and by Frederick Perls. It analyzes some psychotherapies' theoretical new configurations proposed by Brazilian authors, starting from the articulation with Martin Heidegger's certain phenomenology concepts. The psychotherapeutic theories, in general, still maintain a conception of abstract existence out of the historical context. The world today puts us before great challenges, so it is necessary new ways of understanding the human existence and a clinical labor which gives support to the contemporary man's sufferings. The methodological path used in the study consists of: 1. Selection of classic texts to compose the epistemological matrices of the person centered therapy and gestalt; 2. selection of material produced by authors that present critical analysis regarding the theme; 3. systemization of conceptual categories of the matrix of the respective psychotherapies; 4. analysis and discussion of some present themes in national publications which indicate points of new configurations of the matrices. Among the indicatives pointed by the investigated authors, it was possible to highlight: the need to include the stranger, the lack, in the person centered therapy as condition of possibility of the existence; overcoming the essence concept in the gestalt therapy; Heidegger's anguish concept resonances for the clinical practice, since that is not understood as a psychopathological symptom to be extinct or a functional disturbance; the opening and care concepts as well which make possible to think the therapeutic function as an aid to the customer to interpret himself, returning to his own care in a free and responsible way. We have come to the conclusion that although more studies regarding the theme are needed, there is already, at the present time, a movement on the part of some psychologists in throwing a contemporary glance on the person centered therapy and gestalt, standing away from an essencialist conception of subject and of a cloistered subjectivity.
