AbstractIn this paper I explore health and illness through the lens of enactivism, which is understood and developed as a bodily-based worldly-engaged phenomenology. Various health theories – biomedical, ability-based, biopsychosocial – are introduced and scrutinized from the point of view of enactivism and phenomenology. Health is ultimately argued to consist in a central world-disclosing aspect of what is called existential feelings, experienced by way of transparency and ease in carrying out important life projects. Health, in such a phenomenologically enacted understanding, is an important and in many cases necessary part of leading a good life. Illness, on the other hand, by such a phenomenological view, consist in finding oneself at mercy of unhomelike existential feelings, such as bodily pains, nausea, extreme unmotivated tiredness, depression, chronic anxiety and delusion, which make it harder and, in some cases, impossible to flourish. In illness suffering the lived body hurts, resists, or, in other ways, alienates the activities of the ill person.

The article is devoted to the work of Irving John Gill during his heyday, and then in conditions when the principles of modernism discovered by him, due to the lack of society’s need for new architecture in the United States, were not needed in this country - from 1909 until his death in 1936. New technologies used by Gill in the construction of public and residential buildings from concrete are described as well as his unsuccessful participation in the Panama-California World Exhibition of 1915-191, the construction near Los Angeles of the “ideal” city of Torrance and end-of-life projects. The reasons why Gill did not become the leader of the American and one of the leaders of world architecture are discussed, and his work is still controversial.

At the end of XX century, the old age theme has been approached due to concern of the society with the quality of man’s life in the aging process and the fact of seniors correspond to a growing representative portion of the population in the quantitative point of view. So the aging changes in a problem that wins expressiveness and legitimacy in the field of the daily current concerns. This article intends to demonstrate that the work can articulate other life projects for the seniors and to avoid psychic pathologies in the old age that can appear due to the loss of personal identity, to the involvement lack in motivated activities or starting from the adoption of inadequate consumption ways or lifestyles. For this, this article assumes a line of preventive character explanation under two slopes: the first refers to the fact that, if the work ennobles the man, he must acquire or improve this individual competences, adapting them to the new demands of the job market to get a job, or even to reactivate his professional life because new life projects. The second slope follows the direction of the discovery of the seniors’ potentialities for the companies, which can adapt the qualities [and limitations] of this workers category to the various functions in the organization. The Brazilian entrepreneur needs to be attentive to the image of his company and the differential competitive that can distinguish it of the other companies. And this can be to employee senior people or to maintenance it in the company personnel staff.

Trajeto etnográfico realizado em contexto multidisciplinar de pesquisa motiva essa narrativa reflexiva. Recorre-se criticamente a observação participante realizada em dois distritos rurais nas circunvizinhanças da segunda maior cidade gaúcha (Caxias do Sul). O procedimento foi conduzido mediante o acompanhamento do ciclo de louvação da festa do Divino Espírito Santo, mas a narrativa própria, que desvela a paisagem como bem de uso comum no lugar, atinge-se através da atenção às alteridades desveladas nesse percurso. Nesse contexto, avaliam-se as contribuições e possibilidades do fazer etnográfico em um tema mais abrangente ainda a deslindar: a luta dos habitantes do lugar - agricultores há mais de 150 anos nos Campos de Cima da Serra - para continuarem seus projetos de vida. Pois, supostamente no mesmo espaço-tempo, a cidade exige outras ações, sob o discurso da conservação ambiental, contudo portando em seu bojo desejos de outras espécies. Nessa pesquisa de paisagem, mais do que compreender, almeja-se ressoar a voz de quem vive no lugar.Palavras-chave: Paisagem. Ruralidade. Etnografia. The Landscape in Criúva and Vila Seca, Caxias do Sul, Brazil: an ethnographic narrativeAbstractOngoing ethnographic path nested in a multidisciplinary context research, motivates this reflective narrative. The participant observation conducted in two rural districts in the neighborhood of the second largest city of Rio Grandedo Sul (Caxias do Sul) is critically reviewed. The main procedure that was carried out was the following of celebrations cycle of the Holy Spirit. Despite this, the narrative that unfolds the landscape as a common use in the place it is reached through the attention to diversitiesunveiled in this path. In this context, the researchers seek to critically evaluate the contributions and possible contributions of ethnographic work to a more comprehensive theme. The drama to be empirically figured out is the struggles of inhabitants of the place - farmers since 150 years in Campos de Cima da Serra - to continue their life projects. It happens that, supposedly in the same space time, the city requires other actions in the discourse of environmental conservation, however showing desires of other species. In this landscape survey more than to understand, it’s aimed to resonate the voices of people who live in the place.Key words: Landscape. Rurality. Ethnography.
