This paper aims to problematize the Sociology proposed by the French anthropologist Florence Weber to mathematical Education, taking her concept of social scene as the articulation axis, and the theorization on language games developed by the Austrian-British philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein. The idea is to create possibilities to think about mathematical Education in a different way, develop new thoughts and give new meanings to it. This paper lists some modern elements in the making of Mathematics and shows that it was established as a form of true knowledge in Western society in different times and spaces. Afterwards, it introduces Mathematics as a language game and as a social scene. Finally, some considerations are made about a possible direction for Mathematics Education, suggesting that it should be seen in a different way, not as a hard science, but as something that transcends exact calculations and can be found in the ways of knowing and doing in different cultures. Thus, strategies that differ from those imposed by the school could be taken into account and enable new ways of mathematizing that may be silent. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The intention of this article is to reflect on the concepts of norm and linguistic norm. The text begins by showing how the reflections of Social Sciences, particularly Sociology, maybe fruitful for defining the concept of norms in the area of Linguistics, as the latter turned its attention to this concept later than the other disciplines. The main conceptualizations proposed in Linguistics are then presented. Finally, attention is given to the concept of standard language, whose definition still varies from one author to another. In this way, the paper brings several clues to deepen the reflection on the subject and hopes to contribute to its relevance as an object of scientific research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present study investigated the teaching of Sociology in high school at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Paraíba (IFPB) - Campus Sousa, highlighting the organization of the subject in the Pedagogical Project of courses integrated into high school, the contents taught and the adoption of pedagogical resources in teaching plans and class diaries. As a methodological proposal, a bibliographical and documentary research was carried out, through the analysis procedure of the Pedagogical Projects of Course (PPC's), the teaching plans of the discipline and the diaries of the professor of sociology. From the results, it is possible to perceive a concern with the contextualization of the contents, in order to establish connection with pedagogical resources that arouse the students' interest. On the other hand, it is perceived the need of the researched institution to transpose the interdisciplinarity of the paper to the classroom, as well as to encourage the willingness to work together between the disciplines. Equally, engage in the debate so that the discipline of Sociology can continue to be offered in basic education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper analyzes the configuration of female leadership and the conception of marriage in the Bola de Neve Church (BNC) in the city of Londrina, PR. The documentary research was carried out with the publications made available to the faithful, intentionally the book “A formação de um líder” of a leader and the chapter “O alicerce de um líder - a família” served as a source for analysis and interpretation guided by the contributions of the Sociology of religions and by studies on conservative thinking with an emphasis on the role of women. As a result, it was found that female leadership exists within the institution but conditioned to married faithful. This criterion provides elements for understanding the values defended by the denomination regarding marriage and the attributions of exclusively female responsibility: domestic work, management of family conflicts and preservation and reproduction of religious values; aspects that approximate the BNC's discourse to maxims of a fundamentalist religious character.

In this paper, we trace a conceptual roadmap aimed at reconciling a life course perspective with the sociology of class and social inequality. We begin by presenting the life course perspective, reflecting on the central role it grants to processes of institutional regulation. Taking stock of critiques to both atomist explanations of agency and structural determinisms, we advocate for a longitudinal reading of how inequalities shape individual and collective trajectories, mobilizing concepts advanced by Pierre Bourdieu. We then demonstrate the potential of this approach to discuss how life course trajectories unfold in late modernity, drawing on recent research on Portugal. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to revisit the Pauline peristasis catalogues in his second letter to the Corinthians. There, a new perspective is found, based on the interdisciplinary dialogue between the Bible, Psychology and Spirituality, useful for understanding resilience from a Christian perspective, as deduced from the ministry of the apostle to the nations. The concept of resilience, used first in physics and later in Psychology, Psychoanalysis and Sociology, is today found in various hermeneutical approaches to individual and group realities in which people are called to face adverse situations such as difficult relationships, diseases, problems, etc. An analysis of the Pauline peristasis catalogues not only demonstrates that the apostle is a model of resilient behavior but reveals, also, the sides of a hermeneutic arch whose origin is the vocation he received from Christ and whose goal to be reached is the consolation and salvation of Corinthians by him. This finding recalls once again the relevance of Paul's teachings for an interior life anchored in a spirituality of resilience in current times. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to analyze the process of (dis)legitimacy of artistic-sociological consciences in Russia during the early years of Stalinist rule, in order to recover the history of language studies and the context of production of Bakhtinian writings. The method that underlies the reflection undertaken is based on the theoretical-methodological assumptions of Bakhtin (2006 [1979]; 2010 [1920-24]), Medviédev (2016 [1928]) and Volóchinov (2017 [1929], 2013), among others, which present criticisms of the formalist model, prevailing in Stalinist Russia. Historical sources are also used (Deutscher, 2006; Fitzpatrick, 2017) to investigate the political-ideological context of the post-revolution of 1917. The relevance of this manuscript is realized in the contribution of a contemporary but not anachronistic look, which brings to light a critical reading about the construction of philosophical and ethical (aesthetic) approaches on artistic-sociological consciences in Russia. The results show that, despite the execrable situation to which the members of the Bakhtin Circle were subjected amid attempts to (un)artistic legitimacy by the Russian state, researchers and intellectuals resisted and proposed to (re)think the aesthetic object (literary) as conceived by Stalin, whose primary proposal was the unification of the Russian language. Thus, this is not only language movements for the implementation of a linguistic system conception, but also a sociohistorical-cultural reality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
