This article analyzes the ambivalences regarding access to water on the part of communities and populations directly affected by the transposition of the São Francisco River. Based on Bauman’s (1999) approach, ambivalence is understood as the contingency resulting from the incessant search for modern ordering and rationalization. This is a case study, with a qualitative approach. Data were obtained from semi-structured interviews and discussed based on access categories, according to Fekete (1997). Planning for communities to have access to water has been operationalized in a restricted way, at the same time, economically costly, in addition to imposing an organizational and sociocultural reconfiguration of these communities. Finally, if there is already difficulty with access in relation to consumption and domestic use, in terms of productive use, there is no prospect of access to water for communities.

Research on partisan voters in Brazil have demonstrated a decline in both partisanship and feelings toward political parties. How is party identity maintained in this situation? We affirm that even when voters do not evaluate their own party positively, their party identification persists through their interparty feelings, which have deteriorated in recent years. Data from the Brazilian Election Studies (ESEB) for the period from 2002 to 2018 suggest that partisan voters are less enthusiastic about Brazilian political parties, and the relationship between partisan feelings has strengthened in the most recent electoral context. The results about the relationship between party sentiments, to use a quadratic term, indicate that the main alternatives to support for the Worker’s Party (PT) justified a party identity based on the ‘lesser of two evils’ strategy. This indicates the use of a greater deterioration of the image of a political opponent as a mechanism to justify ambivalence in relation to their own partisan position. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article proposes a discussion on the role of images in different psychological theories from a reading of the novel The Days of Abandonment, by Elena Ferrante. The mythical and mundane aspects of the figure of the “poor thing” [la poverella] as it appears in the text are approached in their ambivalence, considering both the pertinence of a classical psychoanalytic approach and the adequacy of C. G. Jung’s theory of archetypes to understand the phenomenon in the context of the narrative. The article then projects the archetypal psychology of James Hillman, Patricia Berry, and Rafael López-Pedraza as the most appropriate theoretical reference for the analysis, recognizing transpersonal dimension of the image, but without submitting it to a structuralist interpretation.

Taking as its scope the first decades of the 20th century in the Brazilian cultural milieu, in the intellectual circuit recognized as forming and consolidating literary modernity, this essay investigates ambivalences present in the way the notion of margin manifests itself in critical and historiographical discourse. Some images of Brazilian modernism are analyzed, especially images concerning Oswald de Andrade. In the first two parts, the essay focuses on a scene ‒ the dedication written by Oswald in a book he gifted the Campos brothers Augusto e Haroldo ‒ and on a space ‒ Oswald’s garçonnière in São Paulo, where the collective diary O perfeito cozinheiro das almas deste mundo was produced ‒, both of which are emblematic of Brazilian modernism. The final part presents a survey of other possibilities and questions for critical exploration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The prescriptive propositions of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (Eclac) suggest to various social segments that efforts should be concentrated on the construction of policies to overcome difficulties exacerbated by the pandemic on the region. Actions that generate democratic social cohesion appear to avoid insoluble conflicts that tend to worsen after the health crisis caused by Sars-CoV-2. The documents indicate some policies that generate consensus based on the defense of rights and social justice. However, in the prescriptions for political and economic actions, there is a difficulty in dealing with the authoritarian enclaves that block the advances of democratic practices in the region. Democratic social cohesion and conflict deterrence: Latin America and covid-19 in Eclac/UN documents aims to understand the ambiguities and ambivalences present both in the diagnoses and prescriptions contained in the Eclac materials produced during 2020 and 2021.

This paper seeks to understand the specificity of the discourse about the motherhood elaborated in the essays and the poetry by Adrienne Rich at the time of her feminist affirmation. Effectively, in establishing a continuity with Walt Whitman's tradition of rebel and democratic diction, Rich, to this day rarely read in Brazil, uses in her discourse the enumeration and the narrative mode to represent courageously the pain and the ambivalence related to the experience of motherhood. The violence of writing as well as the use of oneiric language that face the orphic patriarchal tradition linked to phonocentrism make the poetry by Rich conform to the theory of deconstruction in its subversive aspects.

High levels of ambivalence are associated with poor outcomes and therapeutic abandonment. The objective of this study was to conduct a cross-cultural adaptation and assessment of the psychometric properties of the Ambivalence in Psychotherapy Questionnaire (APQ). After cultural adaptation of the instrument, we assessed 181 individuals undergoing psychotherapy of different approaches in school clinics and private practices. The APQ was validated regarding internal structure and relationship with external variables. In the confirmatory factor analysis, the model with the best fit was composed of three dimensions: two first-order - Demoralization and Wavering - and one second-order - Ambivalence. The internal consistency was 0.86. In relation to external variables, the APQ correlated moderately with measures of psychological distress (OQ-45-Outcome Questionnaire) (r = 0.65) and motivation to change (URICA- University of Rhode Island Change Assessment): contemplation (r = 0.36) and maintenance (r = 0.37). The results indicated that the Brazilian version of the APQ is a suitable instrument, of quick and easy application. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article consists of an investigation into the Oedipus complex based on a clinical case study. Our aim is to reflect on the subjective impasses resulting from non-resolution of the oedipal situation. In Kleinian theory, the pre-oedipal period is now conceived as part of the oedipal situation, which creates the conditions for triangulation, starting a path that may or may not lead to the Oedipus complex. In the field of primary object relations, the inability of the object to receive and transform the projections coming from the child compromises the internalization of triangulation. Incipient triangulation is interrupted due to this failure. The study of a clinical case helped us to reflect on the intrasubjective and intersubjective difficulties related to a prevalence of the oedipal situation in the resolution of the Oedipus complex. When triangulation cannot be sustained there is fragility in the demarcation of the limits of the self and a consequent difficulty tolerating ambivalence. The predominance of the oedipal situation implies a failure in the differentiation between the self and objects, causing a state of confusion between psychic reality and the external world. We suggest that analytical work allowed the patient to construct more consistent psychic boundaries, modifying her dual relationship with the parental couple. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article focuses on the debate on curriculum theory and curriculum policy in current educational reforms and policies, arguing that such policies attempt to control the other and, in an attempt to respond to what is read as "missing" knowledge, seeks to define centralized knowledge., excluding differences in policies and curricula. Based on a study and theoretical review, we discuss, in the light of the Theory of Discourse and the contributions of Derrida's thought, the contingent processes of subjectivation of policies, the translation that prevents the control of knowledge, curricula, training, decision-making. and the subject. We provisionally conclude that the conflict around curricular thinking and theories, as well as the dispute over the power to decide what should be taught and learned, has marked the attempt to establish in policies and curricula for rural schools projects of formation that try to control the formation of these peoples and produce universal subjects, disregarding the processes of differing and differences. In this sense, we defend the idea of theory and politics committed and marked by an ethical-political commitment to alterity and deconstruction. We bet on a theory and policy negotiated and produced in the ambivalences and contingencies caused by the processes of differing, committed to alterity in the deconstruction of normativities, of the BNCC.

Psychoanalysis defends the importance of looking as a channel that promotes parent-child relational exchanges, an affective construction that impacts the subjective constitution of the baby. The child's welcoming is also given by the maternal and paternal look, which bathes their body with affection, allowing the child's needs to be met or not, according to the interpretation of the agents of specularization about the baby's signs. From the mother's point of view, the baby's gaze evokes affective experiences in herself, such as anguish, pleasure, and gratification. Although the function of looking can be constructed even without the support of the vision, we argue that a visual misalignment can impact relational exchanges, warning about the importance of looking, as a construction, for the subjective constitution of the baby. This article develops reflections on the construction of the look in mother-baby dyads in the context of childhood strabismus. Five mothers of cross-eyed babies, from six to twelve months old, were interviewed. Mothers noticed the visual change, especially during breastfeeding. Despite the psychic impact, with feelings of guilt, frustration, and anxiety, most did not become paralyzed in the face of anguish and sought support. They seem to have little or no space for listening to health professionals, although they felt relief from anxiety from consultations with clarification and treatment possibilities. Although this research does not indicate elements of an etiological nature, strabismus may involve a psychic dimension in the initial exchanges that should not be neglected. Professionals involved with early childhood are encouraged to listen to maternal and paternal ambivalence in exchanges with the baby, seeking to observe the quality of the interaction through the look, which indicates the affective climate of the pair/triad, the basis for child integration.

From the first experiences of bonding, representational models will be internalized that will serve as a prototype for loving relationships in the future. This study investigated the association between the perception of parental bond and the quality of love bonding in university students in southern Brazil. This is a cross-sectional study, in which the Questionário de Vinculação ao Pai e à Mãe and the Questionário de Vinculação Amorosa were used. The statistical analysis was based on the Multiple Linear Regression model. We assessed 89 university students. For each increase of one point in the mean of inhibition of exploitation and individuality in the maternal bond, there was a decrease in the mean of confidence and an increase in the mean of ambivalence in the love bond. The results demonstrate that difficulties in establishing a healthy early bond can lead to feelings of insecurity, ambivalence and low confidence in future relationships. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study investigates whether biases present in informal statistical cognition are similar between professionals working at the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) and a non-randomized comparison group in the population. Five hundred and twelve participants answered an online questionnaire with registration items and situations involving probability, risk, uncertainty, or ambivalence. Three hundred thirty cases returned the questionnaire with more than 50% of the items answered, being 85 linked to the IBGE and 245 from the noncasual comparison group. The results revealed that the biases are not distributed in a generalized way, as predicted in the literature, the variable "currently working with statistics" may have significantly less bias. However, the low associated value of R² suggests further investigations considering random clusters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article analyzes, through a postcolonial perspective, the literary works Foe and Youth, both written by J. M. Coetzee. It problematizes the concept of mimicry as presented by Homi K. Bhabha in his essay "Of mimicry and man: The ambivalence of colonial discourse". Analyzing the actions of the characters John and Friday, it becomes possible to perceive how they resort to strategies of mimicry and attempt to resist Western discourses of power. Consequently, they present themselves as disruptive and subversive in a cultural space traditionally imbedded with colonial authority. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

his study examines the effects of (in)consistent leadership behaviors in promoting (or suppressing) relevant work outcomes for temporary employees such as interns. Specifically, to better understand the drivers of internship effectiveness, we hypothesized that supervisor humor interacts with leadership style, sending implicit messages about the organizational and supervisory relationship, thus shaping interns’ attitudes and behaviors. Using a sample of 164 interns, we empirically examined the moderating effect of humor (affiliative and aggressive) on the relationship between leadership styles (transformational and laissez-faire), attitudes (satisfaction and stress), and behaviors (negligence and job acceptance intentions) using a two-wave research design. Our findings were consistent with the hypotheses, suggesting that humor needs to be tailored to leadership styles to predict interns’ attitudinal and behavioral responses, with different types of humor interacting differently across leadership styles. Implications for further research are discussed.

Public accounting has a social function that consists in guaranteeing credibility, trust and order to the general public. This is possible due to the power that the Colombian State gives to the accounting professional to be able to grant public faith. The fiscal year prints in the public accountant a role of mediator and regulator between the State, companies and citizens. However, a recent publication of Ámbito Jurídico reveals that the conduct most sanctioned by the disciplinary court of the public accountancy is the conduct against the public faith, which invites to think that some accounting professionals, for the pursuit of their own interests, have transgressed its social function. Therefore, this article questions: ¿What structural problems are hindering the moral exercise of public faith? To answer the question, it is proposed to observe public faith from the sociological concept of social action, and thus, to shape the present relationships between public faith, the State, capitalism, the bureaucratic-tech-nocratic administration and the individual. The final reflection of this work indicates that the accounting professional, due to the structural transformations of the current social reality, is carrying with it the social action of the public faith attending two antagonistic behaviors, but validated by the State, such as morality and selfishness.

Resumen: La dualidad constituye una de las características que justifica en mayor medida la complejidad del discurso literario infantil. En el caso del álbum esta dualidad que define el lector implícito generado por el discurso se refleja, entre otros rasgos, en la relación que se establece entre el autor implícito, el personaje y el lector que las dos primeras instancias generan como estrategia textual. Los personajes infantiles se definen así desde la perspectiva del autor adulto y, por ende, de un receptor adulto que busca reconocer un concepto de infancia –también dual- con el que guiar al lector infantil. Por tanto, en el marco de los estudios de Nodelman (2008; 2010) y Nikolajeva (2014), entre otros, se propone una aproximación semiótica a los personajes infantiles desde la dualidad que preside el proceso de creación y de recepción específico de la literatura infantil. Con este fin, se han seleccionado dos obras paradigmáticas en este sentido: El maravilloso Mini-Peli-Coso de Beatrice Alemagna y Poka & Mina. El despertar de Kitty Crowther. Se centrará la propuesta en el análisis de los protagonistas desde los diferentes códigos que los construyen y en la concepción tanto del autor como del lector que de ellos se deriva. Abstract: Ambivalence is one of the characteristics that further justifies the child literary discourse. In the context of the picture-book, this ambivalence, which is defined by the implicit reader that is arised by the discourse and it is shown, among other features, in the relationship established between the implicit author, the character and the reader. Those two first elements of enunciation result in a textual strategy. Children’s characters are defined, through the author’s perspective as an adult, and, for that matter, from an adult receiver who aims to acknowledge the concept of “childhood” ambivalent as well to be able to guide the child reader with it. In the framework of the Nodelman (2008; 2010) and Nikolajeva (2014) studies, among others, there is a proposal based on a semiotic approach to the child characters from the ambivalence, which leads the particular process of creation and reception in the childhood literature field. To this end, two works have been selected: El maravilloso Mini-Peli-Coso, by Beatrice Alemagna and Poka & Mina. El despertar, by Kitty Crowther. This proposal will be focused on the analysis of the main characters from differents codes that built them. And on the conception that both, from the author and the reader, which from them is derived.

This article examines the behaviour of the variable “victim’s declaration” in the police and the court in criminal proceedings for gender violence, problematizing the results from a sociological and gender perspective. From a quantitative methodology, the analysis of the procedures initiated during 2017 in the Pamplona judicial district allows us to identify frequencies and statistically significant relationships of this variable with others. The importance of the victim is verified so that the process reaches trial phase. It constitutes an empirical contribution to the theoretical and dogmatic works that analyse the criminal justice system from a gender perspective. It contributes to the legal and social debate on the need for the victim's declaration to obtain effective judicial protection, identifying the rationale behind this demand. The ambivalence of the system that requires a moral consensus around the victim to obtain legitimacy is appreciated.

The use of modern technique requires an ethical responsibility in the face of the ambivalence of the impacts of human action, in which the heuristic of fear presents itself as the best direction in favor of current and future society. The new must be called for a new way of thinking, privileging the diagnosis of negative results to consider the possible threats that may arise from the techno-scientific achievements. Thus, this paper aims to investigate the application of Hans Jonas' theory of ethical responsibility in the context of the techno-digital era. As a research problem, it asks if the principle of responsibility proposed by Hans Jonas meets the conduct requirements of contemporary digital society. As a hypothesis, it states that the contemporary digital society requires self-determined conduct for the domain of individual action, as the essence of the human being, giving rise to an adaptation of Hans Jonas' categorical imperative, which contemplates a natural obstacle to the inexorable breach of privacy in the era digital. Bibliographic research was primarily carried out in books, articles, and theses related to the theme. The research is inserted in the juridical-social aspect, adopting, as predominant reasoning, the hypothetical-deductive. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Homeless women, part of a phenomenon that constitutes as a global problem and inherent to the capitalist mode of production (CMP), are subject to a series of oppression and inequalities that are especially alarming with regard to their health. This study aimed to understand what has been researched about this group of woman, in the nacional and internacional context, from a systematic literature review, and taking into account gender particularities. The following databases were consulted: Lilacs, Redalyc, SciELO, ERIC, and the website of Portal de Periódicos da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES/Brazil). The key words selected were homeless women, health, health care, health care policy and therapeutic itineraries, through which a final sample of 21 articles were found, having their analysis expressed in three categories: Violence, poverty and living on the streets: implications for women's health; motherhood, work and health: ambivalence felt in the bodies; access to health and social assistance services. The findings show the intersection between gender, the life in the streets and health, highlighting the cross-cultural character of the phenomenon, and the need to invest in further research in the area.

In the present study, through the literary imagination provoked by the work Legal Science and its two husbands, by Luis Alberto Warat, the reader is invited to a complex thinking in Law, based on the need for the dialectic of sensitivity and reason in law. Within the surrealist ideal, a Cartesian, dogmatic and closed view is problematized, as questions raised on gender as a category of becoming. The guiding question is: would gender be a possibility of openness, of decentralization, of an ambivalent becoming? Thus, from a complex-paradoxical approach, the ambiguities that are inherent to being are problematized. It is concluded that gender, in a simplistic/dichotomous bias, derives from the pruning of a desire, from a castrated becoming by a Cartesian ideology, from a centered, logocentric rationality, as the vision of gender becomes open to the perspective of emptiness, of opening up to new perspectives of becoming complex and paradoxical.

Ambivalence is a seminal category in Hélio Oiticica’s artistic proposals and theoretical texts, since the theory of the parangolé until the ambiental manifestations and their developments, made perfectly explicit in the ambiental project Tropicália, and in the relationships he established with the production of the group of popular music from Bahia. Ambivalence is also a critical procedure that refers to the elaborations of Oswald de Andrade’s antropophagy and that guided the creative processes and the political dimension of a significative set of activities that emerged simultaneously in the years 1967-68, and that defined a specific position, dissonant in regard to the most evident relationships between aesthetics and politics of the 1960s, questioning the then fixed conflitous opposition between artistic and social inconformism.

This article deals with "radiação" or radiation as a process that creates bond and distance between people and spiritual entities -- souls, spirits, and "caboclos" -- and between these entities themselves. Drawing on ethnographic research conducted in Andaraí, a city in the Chapada Diamantina region, located in the northeast of Brazil, it presents a range of variations around the radiation in two contexts: in the "jarê", an African-based religion, and in the mourning ritual called "terno das almas". The radiation is often defined as a stage prior to possession, being an experience underlined by ambivalence and uncertainty of the entities' presence in people's bodies and practices. In this paper, I will argue that the radiation experience can also be thought of as a way of being in a relationship with these entities, demanding attention, knowledge, and zeal.

This study aims to contribute to the discussion about the interpretation of the enigmatic saying "en tots toú patrós mou" (Lk 2:49c) in the episode of Jesus at twelve years old (Lk 2:41-52), showing the importance of observing the original meaning of the Greek text, to gain a better understanding of the communicative intent of the gospel text. The exposition includes leading modern scholars of the Lucan Gospel, with indications of important Bible translations in various languages, and a brief analysis of the words otkos and oikia, which correspond to the words "house", "habitation", "family" etc. in English, and its use as a metaphor for the "Father's house" (Temple), in order to discard this translation in favor of another, more open one, namely: "in my Father's things". So, we support the hypothesis that Luke intended to write an ambivalent text as a narrative and communicative strategy, due to the reader's cooperation in updating the gospel text. In this way, the narrative would remain with an "open" ending to be filled by the reader throughout his reading of the Lucan Gospel. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Based on Paul Ricoeur's elaborations on the phenomenological project, this text intends to situate and problematize both the reading of "suspicion" (practiced by explanatory or reductive hermeneutics) and the "welcome" reading (practiced by understanding or establishing hermeneutics), understanding them as epistemic attitudes that make it possible to conceive childhoods and children in radically different ways. The way chosen here defends the welcome reading as opposed to the reading of suspicion, since explanatory or reductive hermeneutics would look at childhoods and children from an external, superior, objective point of view, objectifying them with the explanations produced; while understanding or establishing hermeneutics are placed in relation to childhood and children - there is someone who looks, but who is also looked at - in an epistemic attitude of understanding and welcoming otherness. The other is everyone who is also another of us. And each of us is not a monolithic, linear, evolutionary, chronological block. We inhabit the world with complexity, depth, intensity and ambivalence. Therefore, we will discuss the views of childhoods and children that these hermeneutics establish and present some contributions from Jorge Larrosa and anthropological studies, especially in the field of children's anthropology, which, when drawing up an inventory of possible alternative ways to exist in the world, highlights the plurality of childhoods, as well as differences in the relationships established between adults and children in different socio-cultural contexts.

The crisis of modern society advises researchers not to confine themselves to explaining the facts but to assume a role of social intervention in the construction of identities and senses. Thus, this study intends to discuss the role of the researcher in the formation of active and engaged citizenships in Tete (Mozambique). On the one hand, the social crisis awakens the need for local citizen intervention, and, on the other hand, the discourse on development issues points to the need to value local knowledge without losing the sense of the global. Through a theoretical reflection, supported by empirical data, we sought to discuss the ambivalence of the context and to look to the researcher as a subject who seeks the sense of being a citizen, with a view to an engaged practice, in the present and in the space in which he/she is to work.

In the work of Charles Baudelaire, the relation between the poet and his public tends to be marked by violence, hostility or mismatch. The dialogical trait, fundamental to the poetics of the author, is openly addressed in the prose poem "Le Chien et le Flacon", in which the approach to the reader is permeated by aggression, irony and coated with ambiguities. By the study of certain aspects of this prose poem, along with the commentary of other texts from the author, this work aims to show how the hostility between the poet and his public, crossed by the violence also addressed to himself and the production of his work, seems to create ambivalences that would be the groundwork of a baudelairian poetics of contradiction. Besides promoting the indetermination of the senses, this artifice would be capable of creating critical hues directed not only to the relations between the artist, the public and his composition, but also aimed to the manner lyric itself is conceived.
