This paper discusses the relations between the works of the Brazilian researchers Nicolau Sevcenko and Sergio Miceli – the historian and the sociologist. In exploring the “dialogue” between them, some considerations are made about the different approaches of the sociology of culture and social and cultural history. Two reviews of Miceli’s books by Nicolau Sevcenko and a annotated book of Miceli belonging to Sevcenko are the main sources. In addition to this, the article comments on the constituition of a new field of research in Brazil, related to literature and the arts, from the 1970’s. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper it is proposed that the study of popular religiosity is relevant to understanding new forms of contemporary religiosity as they emerge in Latin America. Whereas the theoretical positions held by sociologists of religion in Europe assume that the individual is the most suitable unit for analysis in order to understand the religious transformations of postmodern times, it is argued in this paper that popular religion, understood as being "in between" the traditional and the newly arising, between the local and the transnational, between the social and the individual and between the holiness of the worldly and the worldliness of the sacred, makes it possible to take into account the phenomena of religion practised on the margins of the institutions (as in its new age and neo-esoteric expressions); while attending to the processes by which the new de-institutionalised forms of religion legitimate themselves, seeking anchorages and lineages that would create a continuity with the weight of tradition provided by popular religion.

This paper proposes an introductory reading on how Theodor W. Adorno examines the contradictions that permeate the reflection on the progress. The dialectic of progress theory made by the author tries not to limit the totalizing and hermetic concepts that normally line the understanding of the topic. The Adorno's approach does not think so neither ontological nor the rise and decline of society. It suggests an analysis that points the dualities and setbacks caused by the historical principle of progress. The perspective adopted by the German philosopher and sociologist could provide conditions for mankind to find ways to avoid such historical setbacks in the future. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Changes and identities represent one of the thematic axes of the work of Lídia Jorge - a key figure in contemporary Portuguese literature. Be it at a regional level - the Algarve - be it at a national level, the 10 novels published by Jorge from 1980 to 2010 consider the crossroads faced by Portugal, its urban areas and its rural communities, as a major issue. In doing so, the novelist provides an in-depth assessment of structural transformations and challenges the Portuguese have to deal with. Such an interpretation cannot be ignored by sociologists. The paper presents an attempt to consider Jorge's elaboration from a sociological point a view. This means an attempt to foster a dialogue between the two kinds of portraits - the one drawn by literary creativity and the one drawn by sociological analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Stuart Hall (1932-), Jamaican sociologist and founder of the Cultural Studies, establishes dialogues with intellectuals from various domains of knowledge, among which we can mention philosophy. This papers analyzes Hall's deploy of the term différance, which was coined by philosopher Jacques Derrida (1930-2004). The exam consists at reading and making explicit the arguments contained in Hall's three texts collected at the first part of the book Da diáspora: identidades e mediações culturais. It explains the concept of différance from the text "A diferança" (from Margens da filosofia), considering its attempt to think the limits of Western philosophical tradition. It finally weaves considerations on its usage in Hall's debates about multiculturalism, diaspora and post-colonialism, and thus puts in relief Derrida's indirect contribution. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this paper is to briefly present Sociophysics, a discipline that in recent decades has been emerging on the borders between Physics and the Social Sciences. As an illustration of its approach, we will review some opinion formation models, focusing on the conditions under which a society is more sensitive to the penetration of an external message. In particular, we will see that it is easier for a message to be commonly accepted in a society characterized by conflicts - which recalls the old maxim "divide and conquer". We conclude by suggesting that the construction of this new field of knowledge requires a union between sociologists and physicists that goes beyond a simple juxtaposition of knowledge [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to expose and reflect on the debate between remarkable social scientists of our time: Ulrich Beck and Bruno Latour. However, I still suggest that this debate goes beyond the level of their convergences and divergences in providing indicative of some trends in the humanities. One aspect that I intend to discuss refers to what I see as an "anthropological openness" of the human sciences, which in no way corresponds to his anthropologization. I argue that due the proliferation of crises sociologists and political scientists tend to open their macro-explanatory schemes of social scrutiny and the combination of anthropological methodologies as a mean of finding bases for new parameters that can delimit normative political projects.
