Os impressos contribuíram para a difusão de representações, de diferenciações e de classificações sociais do comportamento feminino. Durante as décadas de 1920 e 1930 em Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, os jornais publicaram diversos textos dispersos dirigidos às mulheres e aos seus comportamentos que são uma importante série documental para a análise das distinções a partir da interseccionalidade do gênero com as dimensões raciais e sexuais (morais). Essas representações produziram e foram produzidas pela dicotomia entre “mulher honesta” e “mulher decaída”. Argumento que essa situação é parte de um amplo processo de construção de diferentes mecanismos de normatização dos comportamentos femininos que se relacionam com as distinções sociais e de gênero que marcaram a sociedade brasileira.*The press contributed to the production and dissemination of social representation, differentiation and classifications of female behaviour. The 1920’s and 1930’s newspapers in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil, have published several dispersed texts addressed to women and their behaviour. They form an important series of documents to the analysis of social distinctions from intersectionality of gender with the racial, social and sexual (moral) dimensions. These representations forged and have been shaped by the dichotomy between the “honest woman” and the “fallen woman”. I argue that this situation is part of a large process of production of different arrangements of standardisation of female performance that are related with the social and gender distinctions of the Brazilian society.

The dimension of choice and adherence to healthy lifestyles is in the area of social constructions made in representations of individuals and had not yet been included in the Surveillance of Risk and Protective Factors for Chronic Diseases by Telephone Survey (VIGITEL) analysis systems. This article aims to understand, in individual narratives, representations contained in the trajectories of people's lives selected from the 2010 VIGITEL sample, in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. It is a qualitative study based on Social Representation Theory. Thirty in-depth and open interviews with subjects selected from the 2010 VIGITEL sample were conducted in Belo Horizonte in the State of Minas Gerais. The Structural Analysis of Narrative technique was used to reveal the content of speeches. Age and heredity representations related to NCDs are part of the spectrum of current scientific information. Learning from childhood onwards is the basis of care. The lack of comprehension of the pathophysiology of NCDs, and the depth of representations of illness and death related to communicable diseases, is partly responsible for the difficulty of preventing NCDs.

A partir da Declaração de Alma Ata, a Atenção Primária à Saúde passou a ser entendida como primeiro nível de contato com o sistema de saúde, orientada por princípios de solidariedade e equidade e baseada em métodos e tecnologias apropriadas. A Orientação Comunitária, atributo derivado da Atenção Primária à Saúde, se destaca por ressaltar a importância de se conhecer as necessidades de saúde da comunidade. Apesar desse atributo em específico ser reconhecido no Brasil como diretriz do Sistema Único de Saúde e da Rede de Atenção à Saúde, estudos conduzidos tanto internacionalmente quanto nacionalmente demonstram que a Orientação Comunitária tem baixa performance em geral. Questiona-se, assim, quais fatores podem contribuir para um melhor desempenho desse atributo, em especial se qualificação profissional em Medicina de Família e Comunidade contribui para a otimização desse desempenho. O presente estudo objetivou verificar a associação entre qualificação profissional em MFC e o grau de Orientação Comunitária na perspectiva dos profissionais médicos atuantes na Estratégia Saúde da Família de Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. Um estudo censitário de médicos de todas as equipes de Saúde da Família das regionais de Belo Horizonte compôs a população alvo desse estudo. Variáveis sociodemográficas, relativas à formação acadêmica e à situação ocupacional foram obtidas por meio de questionários construídos pelos autores. Foi utilizado o instrumento PCATool-Brasil para medir o desempenho do atributo Orientação Comunitária. As análises foram pelo software Statistical Package for the Social Sciences versão 15.0, obtendo-se medidas descritivas e comparação entre percepção satisfatória e insatisfatória do escore Orientação Comunitária e as variáveis independentes pelo teste qui-quadrado, com correção de Fischer. O escore médio do atributo foi de 7,9 (DP ±1,2). Nenhuma variável independente encontrou associação estatisticamente significativa com a Orientação Comunitária satisfatória. Houve correlação entre tempo de conclusão da residência médica em MFC e alto escore para Orientação Comunitária. Recomenda-se a realização de mais estudos que analisem a formação especializada sobre a ótica da Orientação Comunitária e os desafios que a prática profissional impõe à sua implantação.

The principal aim of this study was to analyze the structural dimensions of social representation of aggression through the Expressive Representations of Aggression Scale – EXPAGG (Campbell, Muncer, & Coyle, 1992). This scale is used in many studies of aggressive behavior among youth and in adolescent populations. Moreover, the EXPAGG is one of the self-report techniques most commonly used in the field of aggression research to measure expressive and instrumental attributions. This study uses various statistical procedures to analyze the data from a representative sample of adolescents in the community of Madrid to conclude that the EXPAGG is a reliable and valid test to measure different attribution styles of aggression in youth and adolescents. In addition, a tridimensional structure of social representation of aggression and a significant effect of age and gender were found.

Abstract This article examines Elizabeth Gaskell’s use of the early psychiatric idea of monomania in her novel Mary Barton (1848). Digital searches show a steep rise in the textual use of the word so that by the mid-1830s it might be described as popularly familiar, albeit still invested with the esotericism and prestige of medical vocabulary. The furore in the press circulating around monomaniacal assassins would not have escaped Gaskell’s notice as she began the novel, which was written intermittently between the years 1844 and 1847 and set in c. 1834 to 1840. John Barton, and his sister-in-law, fallen woman Esther, are gripped by obsessive, avenging missions fostered by the pathogenic environments they inhabit. Their trajectories are similar: the loss of a child, a recourse to opiates and alcohol to manage misery and hunger, and an expulsion from the normalizing world of domesticity. The narrative describes both as monomaniacs. I argue that these monomanias are equivalent to a tormenting class consciousness wherein their over-abundant imaginations refuse to accept their lot. A challenge to the notion that the working class were morally at fault, monomania is presented as a condition caused by an environment that can only foster despair. The text does not simply pathologize the characters, but presents the social structure itself as pathological. Gaskell uses a gothic formulation of the disease as ‘haunting’ and ‘incessant’. It is a novelistic version which is both proto-sensational in the projects its sufferers pursue (murder and detection) whilst also signifying a nervous collapse brought about by material deprivation. Gaskell’s monomaniacs come closest to replicating the aetiologies of their ‘real’ counterparts in County Asylums.

AbstractThe aim of this study was to evaluate the distribution of cases and the social determinants associated with death from human visceral leishmaniasis (HVL) and VL–HIV co-infection in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais state, Brazil, between 2006 and 2013. Descriptive statistics and analysis of associations were performed using chi-square of the raised variables, such as sex, age, skin colour and schooling of cases of HVL. During the study period, there were 866 cases of HVL with 111 deaths in Belo Horizonte. Morbidity and lethality rates (LR) of HVL in Belo Horizonte remained high over almost all the years evaluated, with an average incidence rate of 4.18 cases/100 000 inhabitants and a LR of 11.16%. With respect to skin colour, it was found that people characterised as black or mulatto had higher morbidity, followed by white. Regarding schooling, LR was more prevalent among individuals with lower education. One of the social risk factors was co-infection with HIV, which was present in many cases of HVL. Furthermore, it was found that older age and the male sex were also risk factors for death from HVL in Belo Horizonte.

Os diálogos entre a História da Educação e a História Cultural possibilitam desvelar aspectos diversos das práticas educacionais fora da escola e da escolarização, revitalizando, dessa forma, as abordagens em História da Educação. A partir dessa perspectiva, buscamos compreender as interfaces existentes entre as dinâmicas sociais, culturais, políticas e “educacionais”, que marcaram as vivências das mulheres afrodescendentes, que se dedicaram aos serviços domésticos, em Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, entre os anos de 1897 a 1920, no âmbito do processo de formação do mercado de trabalho livre no Brasil. As histórias das mulheres afrodescendentes permitem “esboçar” múltiplos retratos das liberdades por elas construídas naquele contexto. Contudo, para aquelas que se dedicaram ao serviço doméstico no pós-abolição, a conduta moral e o controle sobre o corpo feminino possibilitaram traçar um “fio condutor” em comum para as suas distintas histórias de vida e de trabalhadoras.“A girl of color…”: honesty, morality, and female domestic service. Belo Horizonte, 1897-1920. The dialogues that exist between the History of Education and Cultural History reveal various aspects of educational practices outside of school and schooling, thus revitalizing our approaches to the History of Education. Based on this perspective, we sought to understand the existing interfaces between the social, cultural, political, and "educational" dynamics that marked the experiences of Afro-descendant women who dedicated themselves to domestic services in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, from 1897 to 1920, as part of the process of forming the free labor market in Brazil. The histories of Afro-descendant women allow us to "sketch" multiple portraits of the freedoms that they created within this context. However, for those who dedicated themselves to domestic services in the post-slavery era, moral conduct and control of the female body enabled us to trace a common thread running through the different histories of their lives and work.

The Grotesque

This article analyses the technological changes that have modified the snapshot in photojournalism. Formerly, snapshot was a result of the technique and expertise of the photographer. Today, due to a kind of “agility” of the cameras, it has become a possible practice for any photo-reporter. Sequential photographs turn the portrayed subject’s body into a pliant element of the editorial process. In figurations that privilege unfulfilled gestures and disfigurements, some images published by the press symbolically alter the social representation of the person portrayed. The study described within this paper also points to the use of an aesthetic of the grotesque, present in the expressions, gestures and posture of the subject photographed and to a discourse of the snapshot as a regime of power exerted by the press.

The Impact

This article addresses the difficulties of musicians and measures taken by public and private authorities to mitigate the social impact of Covid-19 in the music sector of Belo Horizonte, capital city of the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. These are preliminary results of a research developed by the research lab on Sound, Communication, Textualities and Sociability [ESCUTAS (in Portuguese)] at the Social Communication Department of the Federal University of Minas Gerais. This study has two perspectives. First, we surveyed public sources about Brazilian measures for the sector, as we are interested in verifying policies used by the private and public sectors, not only at the national level, but also at regional (state of Minas Gerais) and local (city of Belo Horizonte) levels. Second, we investigate the impact of the pandemic on the city's music sector, considering various categories of the profession such as composers, interpreters, arrangers, music teachers, DJs, among others. This work is part of a scenario of academic research and economic reports on the impacts of the pandemic in the music industry. More specifically, it aims to contribute to discussion on the effects of the social distance on livelihood of professionals of that area.
