This article discusses children’s responsibility in care practices from a relational perspective. The aim is to understand how responsible action takes place and is experienced in the lives of children who reside in a community in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. We interrogate the universalist sense of the notion of responsibility regarded as a juridical duty to be met in order that children’s citizenship can be validated. An ethnographic research project with children from 4 to 12 years of age was carried out over a period of 5 months. The results show that children’s actions address moral issues referring back on what they judge to be valuable to secure in relevant relationships rather than on learnt prescribed rules of behavior. The analysis points to the importance of foregrounding the affective and relation dimension of children’s citizenship illustrated here as caring practices in processes of interdependence.

Abstract Inspired by the reflections on the concept of critique proposed by Luc Boltanski and Eve Chiapello, this article presents some elements for a sociology of critique of the Pacification Police Unit (Unidade de Polícia Pacificadora - UPPs) program. It offers a brief history of the project, typified in phases. We conduct a mapping and a temporal analysis of critiques made about the UPPs throughout the entire period of their existence from 2008 until today. This analysis is based on ethnographic research and interviews conducted by the authors between 2009 and 2015 in the first two "pacified" favelas in the city of Rio de Janeiro (Santa Marta and the Cidade de Deus), and on the analysis of news reports from the major and alternative media and of social networks.

Using ethnography and a research methodology developed for this research project, this article sets out to describe the trajectories of a female refugee and the relationship she has established with her new city of residence. Ruth was born in Angola, but grew up in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. She is 35 years old and has lived in Rio de Janeiro since 2014. She has three children and works as an actress and singer. She reconnects to her roots and reinvents herself in the new territory through spending time with Congolese women in a market in Madureira and in an evangelical church in Brás de Pina. The methodology, using photos, drawings and objects, reveals the experiences of a Black refugee woman in the city where she has come to live. The article intends to reflect on the way these women have reinvented themselves based on the place of the frontier and how they have given different meanings to their identities in their new place.

Marseille is reinventing itself as an urban tourist destination. The aim of this paper is to explore the effects that the resulting intensification of international tourism may have on the city, its population and its labour market. Drawing on previous research, language is shown to be a powerful lens through which to explore such phenomena. Therefore, an ethnographic research project was undertaken in Marseille’s Tourist Office, focussing on language use in encounters between international tourists and tourist advisers. The analyses of these data presented here show that English facilitates communication between these parties and thus becomes an indispensable resource for those working at the Tourist Office. It is thus shown how the English language is a key skill in the Tourist Office’s labour market and acts as a discriminatory factor in the recruitment of tourism professionals. In conclusion, some of the potential wider social repercussions are discussed.

Drawing the city is a proposal for an ethnographic research project in Rio de Janeiro. I begin by mapping the production of an international group calling themselves ‘urban sketchers,' whose collective project extols drawing as a form of looking, knowing and registering the experience of living in cities. Next I show the connections between art and anthropology, as well as their relation to cities and to Rio de Janeiro in particular. The sources and bibliography on the themes of the social history of art, drawing, visual anthropology and urban anthropology are also discussed. Setting out from the latter area, I present the possibilities for undertaking an ethnography that contributes to our comprehension of the graphic and symbolic narratives of urban life.

Objetivo: descrever as percepções de enfermeiras obstétricas sobre suas condições de trabalho. Método: pesquisa qualitativa com 15 enfermeiras obstétricas atuantes em hospitais da cidade Rio de Janeiro. As entrevistas foram realizadas no período de abril a maio de 2016 e após foram transcritas, codificadas, categorizadas e discutidas à luz do referencial de Bourdieu. A pesquisa foi aprovada pelo Comitê de Ética e pesquisa/CAAE 54061315.9.0000.5282. Resultados: as condições de trabalho percebidas pelas enfermeiras foram a instabilidade no vínculo de contrato, levando ao medo de perder o emprego; a busca por produtividade que descaracteriza o cuidado humanizado e a violência simbólica representada pela desqualificação e divisão sexual do trabalho. Conclusão: essas condições apontam para a precarização do trabalho e podem interferir diretamente na implantação das práticas de cuidado humanizadas no parto e nascimento e na saúde das enfermeiras.ABSTRACT Objective: to describe the obstetric nurses’ perceptions about their working conditions. Method: qualitative research with 15 obstetric nurses working in hospitals in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. The interviews were carried out from April to May 2016 and were then transcribed, coded, categorized and discussed based on Bourdieu’s reference. The research was approved by the Ethics and Research Committee / CAAE 54061315.9.0000.5282. Results: the working conditions perceived by nurses were caracterized by instability in the job contract, leading to fear of losing their job; the search for productivity that de-characterizes the humanized care and symbolic violence represented by the disqualification and sexual division of labor. Conclusion: these conditions indicate to the precariousness of work and may interfere directly in the development of humanized care practices in childbirth and birth as well as in nurses’ health.RESUMEN Objetivo: describir las percepciones de las enfermeras obstétricas sobre sus condiciones de trabajo.

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze how homeless people live, in times of COVID-19 pandemic, in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Method: an ethnographic research that used interviews and observations and articles published in newspapers and magazines of great circulation, using domain analysis. Results: the results tell how the COVID-19 pandemic emerged for the homeless population. Isolation led to emptying the streets and reducing passers-by, damaging their ways of living and their survival tactics. Hunger, thirst, absence of places for bathing and for fulfilling physiological needs became part of their daily lives. Final considerations: given the impossibility of having a place to shelter, acquiring food and water and the limitations in carrying out preventive measures, care actions offered by managers to limit the virus to spread, even in this population, are ineffective.

Este artigo tem como objetivo refletir sobre memória, samba e polá­ticas culturais a partir dos resultados obtidos com o projeto de pesquisa ”Museu Afrodigital Rio: memória entre gerações nos quintais do samba da Grande Madureira” desenvolvido pelo Museu Afrodigital Rio (http://www.museuafrorio.uerj.br/), no perá­odo de 2012-2016. Trata-se de um museu digital, conectado em rede nacional com outros museus da mesma natureza, que tem como objetivo a preservação da história e da memória dos afro-brasileiros no estado do Rio de Janeiro. O referido projeto de pesquisa dedicou-se a investigar os rituais e tradições que permeiam os festejos realizados nos quintais das casas das ”tias” do samba, das mães de santo, dos jongueiros e das cozinheiras da culinária afrorreligiosa na Grande Madureira, região da cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Esta região concentra um grande número de manifestações e associações de matriz africana. Concluá­mos que o quintal é espaço de sociabilidade e local privilegiado de convá­vio e realização de práticas que vão do profano ao religioso, e que, de algum modo, ainda trazem memórias de gerações passadas.Palavras-chave: Polá­ticas culturais.

It is a digital museum, connected to a national network with other museums of the same nature, whose objective is the preservation of the history and memory of Afro-Brazilians in the state of Rio de Janeiro. This research project was dedicated to investigating the rituals and traditions that permeate the celebrations held in the backyards of the houses of the "aunts" of the samba, of the mothers of saint, of the jongueiros and cooks of the Afro-religious cuisine in Grande Madureira, region of the city of Rio de Janeiro. This region concentrates a great number of manifestations and associations of African matrix. We conclude that the backyard is a space of sociability and a privileged place for living and performing practices that go from the profane to the religious, and that somehow still bring back memories of past generations.Keywords: Cultural policies.

Among contact sports, the practice of martial arts offers a greater risk of causing dental trauma and fractures as contact with the face is more frequent. The primary objective of the research is to evaluate the incidence of mouthguard use, and the secondary objective is to verify which type has a greater predominance and the difficulties in its use correlating to the type of mouthguard used. A documentary study was carried out with 273 athletes of different contact sports, among them: MMA, Boxing, Muay Thai, Jiu-Jitsu, and Taekwondo of the city of Campos dos Goytacazes, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It was concluded that the most commonly used mouthguard is PB Boils and Bites - Type II and its level of approval is poor, interfering with the athletes’ performance, mainly in relation to the breathing factor.
