The paper proposes a concept of embodied subjectivity in the framework of an existential sociology. Starting from Maurice Merleau-Ponty's existentialist-phenomenological philosophy, I present some questions concerning the subject and the body in the social world. These questions are then discussed with reference to Erving Goffman's sociological theory and the work of Michel Foucault. Through the works of these three authors, a notion of embodied subjectivity is constructed, that is, a concept of subject that takes into consideration the body as a fundamental nexus of social relations. Finally, two directions of a possible existential sociology are explored from the notion of embodied subjectivity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The school of today should not only focus on unilateral training of their students, but their omnilateral training. The figure of the teacher as a great promoter dialectical pedagogy in the classroom, aimed at critical civic education of their students. Thus, this paper aims to reflect how the use of a work of fiction today may be worked in Sociology classes of high school, contemplating the various dimensions in the Hunger Games trilogy. Students can learn and reflect on the questions posed in the book, linking them to their reality and the reality of the society in which they live. Screenings of films recorded relating to the first two books and the third book will be counted students in oral form will be made, since the last book is still in the film adaptation. The analyzes made throughout the paper will be the light of the concepts and theoretical assumptions of João Luiz Gasparin, Esther Buffa, Mikhail Bakhtin, among other authors. It is intended that at the end of classes, students have developed a critical awareness of the contents worked and how they perceive the same discipline can offer them knowledge of various areas of knowledge, not being restricted only to their specific content.

This essay starts from the premise that sociological analysis has made important and valuable contributions to the conceptualization of the cultural, moral, and institutional aspects of communication. At present, however, the contributions of the sociology seem poorly represented within the field of communicative studies because these commonly overlook the fact that digital communication is inextricably linked to the social and material spaces which humans act and interact. Considering that it can generate a necessarily limited understanding of the communicative phenomenon, the objective of this work is to explore the approaches proposed by five schools of thought regarding the sociology of communication. Firstly, this paper reviews the main works produced by the Chicago School, the Columbia School, the Frankfurt School, the Toronto School and the Birmingham School to try to elucidate the conceptual bases of their postulates and to understand the criticisms they received from other scholars in the field. Subsequently, it describes the historical changes of the disciplinary research program and the approaches through which social researchers are trying to recognize and to understand the complex sociotechnical assemblages that characterize contemporary communication. Finally, it argues that the sociological perspective continues to be substantial in developing a critical comprehension of the social, political, and economic impact of digital mediatization.

This paper discusses hospital infections based on the methodological concept of concrete totality and the resulting explanatory model of social determination, as critical paths for putting such occurrences and the social intervention possibilities to control them into context. It assesses the prospects for control by considering the advances in knowledge and control programs and the post-constitutional Brazilian institutional setting. It concludes that the increasing intervention by the judiciary and the Public Prosecutor's office, regarding issues involving hospital infection and the existing difficulties for control, reflect the level of healthcare service qualification in Brazil. It suggests that such judicial intervention contributes to the democratization process of healthcare policies and adds to the efforts of society in general to uphold the right to healthcare. It considers that following up the conditions under which control takes place in each institution may reveal important information that can be taken as markers for the general quality of the services and care provided, thereby becoming an instrument for a broad joint effort by the Public Prosecutor's office and healthcare institutions along with citizen participation.

This paper analyzes three rationales used to understand the relationship between knowledge and practice. It acknowledges and criticizes the hegemony of the technological rationale, and points out that use of the concept of soft technology does not resolve the typical epistemological reduction of the technical rationale when it studies social practices, management and healthcare work. An analytical and conceptual method is suggested to analyze social practices and healthcare work, using a technological rationale, in addition to that of the praxis and the art.

This theoretical essay discusses the issue of race relations in Brazil and explores its interfaces with studies on diversity management in organizations. Therefore, it seeks to problematize this field's appropriation of American studies, pushing to the background -- or even ignoring -- studies on race relations developed in Brazilian anthropology and sociology. This questioning helps us realize that organizational studies in Brazil have been displaced in this debate, either by the assumption that our diversity management should follow Anglo-Saxon parameters, or by the distance that the area has maintained from Brazilian studies that address racial minorities and their dynamic relations. The final part of the paper retrieves two important works produced under Brazilian studies on race relations and, from them, examines this debate's contributions to the study of Brazilian organizations. The paper concludes by drawing researchers' attention to the need to rescue the Brazilian debate as a way of contextualizing diversity management in Brazil. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This objective of this paper is to analyze the theoretical and philosophical contributions of Luhmann and Kant, and how they relate the subject of health/nursing It tries to approach Kant's critical rationalism to Luhnmann's social systems theory, illustrating the importance of these thoughts and theoretical abstractions in both the field of social relations and human interactions with users, as well as historical subjects in the communication context. Kant seeks to understand who is man and how to ascend based on the emancipating process, whereas Luhmann wants each individual to acquire its identity as a member of the social networking, supported by interaction and communication. It concludes that communication in health care enables patients to manifest more adhesion, emancipation, and autonomy towards the therapeutical process.

This paper aims to discuss how already established principles of research ethics can be incorporated to the ethical review of research projects in Social Sciences, particularly ethnographic studies or studies using the techniques of participant observation and open interviews. The discussion is guided by an analysis of the methodological and ethical procedures used in the production of the ethnographic documentary "Severina's Story". The analysis of the film shows the urgent need to expand the horizons of the debate around research ethics beyond the biomedical fundaments of this field.

The complexity of government tasks today suggests that virtual interaction processes that could streamline flows and exchanges of information between governments and society in public policymaking may contribute to more effective intervention that is more closely attuned to the heterogeneity and diversity of social problems. Innovative participatory government administration initiatives have proliferated, together with the extension of public control over government actions, handled through by information technologies. Exploring this field, this paper identifies some key issues for better demarcation and qualification of such initiatives in public sector management, based on the authors' own experience in leading an institutional project designed to empower the political, technical, and communicative participation of society in discussions of the implementation of the Unified National Health System in Brazil. Based on a review of the literature analyzing the links among information, technology, development, and democracy, and particularly with regard to social management, this paper systematizes aspects for consideration drawn from in experiences of interactions between government and society, mediated by scientific knowledge, fostering greater transparency and plurality of views in government management.

A critical social theory for what and whom? This question is the key for this paper in order to problematize relationships and the dependence relating sociological theory, political praxis and strong institutionalism. The paper’s central argument is that the Western sociological tradition in the 20th century assumed a systemic understanding of society as epistemological-political basis of its constitution, legitimation and political influence, which led to strong institutionalism, that is, the correlation and self-justification between social sciences and political institutions, so that scientifical-political institutions become overlapped in relation to political praxis of social movements, as neutral and impartial regarding class struggle, depoliticizing social systems’ constitution, legitimation and evolution. The paper’s second central argument is that a critical social theory for the constitution and crisis of contemporary Western modernization must abandon the defense of and connection with strong institutionalism, supporting social movements in their epistemological-political criticism to social systems’ technicization and autonomization. [uma teoria social crítica para quê/para quem? Esta questão é a chave-de-leitura que o artigo usa com o objetivo de problematizar as relações e a dependência entre teoria sociológica, práxis política e institucionalismo forte. O argumento central do artigo consiste em que a tradição sociológica ocidental no século XX assumiu uma compreensão sistêmica de sociedade enquanto base epistemológico-política para sua constituição, legitimação e influência política, o que levou ao institucionalismo forte, isto é, à correlação e à autojustificação entre ciências sociais e instituições políticas, de modo que instituições científico-políticas tornam-se sobrepostas à práxis política dos movimentos sociais, bem como neutras e imparciais em relação às lutas de classe, despolitizando a constituição, a legitimação e a evolução dos sistemas sociais. Assim, o segundo argumento central do artigo consiste em que uma teoria social crítica para o estudo da constituição e da crise da modernização ocidental contemporânea deve abandonar sua defesa e sua conexão com o institucionalismo forte, auxiliando movimentos sociais em sua crítica epistemológico-política à tecnicização e à autonomização dos sistemas sociais]

The aim of this paper is the clarification of some key concepts of the methodology of biographical narratives. Despite of the fact that this methodology is widely used, its theoretical underpinnings not yet appear to have been systematically compiled. Accordingly, the objectives of this paper are as follows: [i] develop the method of narrative interview and the method of analysis of biographical narratives created by Fritz Schütze; [ii] clarify some of the theoretical points that this author assumes (as the task of sociology and its object of study) through the concepts of self, society and language; and [iii] explore the influences of the theoretical framework of the phenomenological sociology of Alfred Schutz and compare both authors. Its conclusion is the statement that the phenomenological sociology cannot be considered the only theoretical framework that underlies Schütze's methodology, which points out to new questions.

Slightl y open-Slightly closed: The cursed heritage of the concept of communication. This paper discusses a debate that is common in the social sciences and in philosophy, but has not yet received an adequate treatment in the field of communication. This is the debate about the opening and the closure of consciousness and of systems, which is an epistemological attitude that underlies the concept of communication, notwithstanding the lack of a theoretical foundation. The paper deals with that debate by means of Niklas Luhmann's theory of social systems, the cybernetics of Heinz von Foerster and the philosophies of Jürgen Habermas, Gilles Deleuze and Maurice Merleau-Ponty. It is divided into nine topics and ends with a summary and a short conclusion on the present state of the theoretical debate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper reconstructs the development of the status of the theory of legal pluralism: while originally the term has been used as descriptive label referring to a situation observed in the world, nowadays a more sophisticated understanding of the role of the concept is needed. The epistemology of social sciences can help us make sense of the multifarious literature on legal pluralism, and of the different conceptions of the term that have been proposed. More specifically, legal pluralism is here devised as a theoretical programme and its influence on the production of social-scientific knowledge is analysed. The investigation concentrates on the role of the concept in the selection of relevant data and on the intelligibility structure imposed on them.Este artículo reconstruye el desarrollo de la situación de la teoría de pluralismo jurídico: aunque en un principio el término se utilizó como una etiqueta descriptiva referida a una situación que se observaba en el mundo, hoy en día se necesita una comprensión más sofisticada del rol del concepto. La epistemología de las ciencias sociales puede ayudar a dar sentido a la literatura heterogénea sobre pluralismo jurídico, así como a las diferentes concepciones del término que se han propuesto. Más específicamente, aquí se concibe el pluralismo jurídico como un programa teórico y se analiza su influencia en la producción de conocimiento científico social. La investigación se concentra en el papel del concepto en la selección de datos relevantes y en la estructura de inteligibilidad impuesta sobre ellos.DOWNLOAD THIS PAPER FROM SSRN: http://ssrn.com/abstract=2833822
