The City

In this article we intend to analyze what is the state of the art in which the São Paulo City is in relation to the concept of Mil Cities, instituted in 2018 by UNESCO. From a group of metrics developed by the institu­ tion, we intend to see and measure effective actions that have already been implemented or are under development, that can serve as a basis to enable the construction of a MIL City in the analyzed public institu­ tion. In this tracking we want to understand how public communication from the perspective of public interest can establish itself as a paradigm, when governments, organizations and society demand a new and higher level of interlocution and exchange, with the purpose of transforming reality for a project that can transform the city of São Paulo into a MIL City. We use exploratory research in primary and secondary sources as a methodology.

The City

This chapter explores children's engagement with and presence in railway space, a theme depicted, though not thoroughly unpacked, in Lion, Slumdog Millionaire, and beyond. Children use the railway to leave home behind and get to the city, and often stay in railway space for their whole sojourn in the city, or indeed for their whole lives; it is the thread yoking village and city. The railway constitutes perhaps a more powerful metaphor, rendered brick-and-mortar, than any other for child runaways' intimacy with history's forces—empire, capitalism, and rural transformation among them. It is also a space for a very vigorous control imposed upon children's bodies and movements through the vehicle of the state, of informal economies in global capital, and of other mechanisms of power, just as it is a space that the children in question occupy in a type of evasive practice that is irksome to society and government.

In 2010, a startling 18 young migrant workers attempted suicide at Foxconn Technology Group production facilities in China. This article looks into the development of the Foxconn Corporation to understand the advent of capital expansion and its impact on frontline workers’ lives in China. It also provides an account of how the state facilitates Foxconn’s production expansion as a form of monopoly capital. Foxconn stands out as a new phenomenon of capital expansion because of the incomparable speed and scale of its capital accumulation in all regions of China. This article explores how the workers at Foxconn, the world’s largest electronics manufacturer, have been subjected to work pressure and desperation that might lead to suicides on the one hand but also open up daily and collective resistance on the other hand.

Financial Losses

Under the conditions of the pandemic, the issue of support for small and medium-sized enterprises becomes especially relevant, since they are the ones that suffer financial losses more than other enterprises in the period of restrictions and reduction of the purchasing power of citizens. Most often tax measures of support and direct payments from the state are considered, in our article we will talk about property measures that have a significant impact on the stabilization and development for existing entities and sustainable formation for start-up entrepreneurs. The article uses both statistical analysis, including within the boundaries of the federal district, and sociological research that complements and specifies statistical data. As a result, the main problems of providing measures of property support were identified, which will allow the authorities and development institutions to adjust their policies and instruments.

Popular Power

For those attentive to the epochal shifts of globalization, the state has been either serving global capital or on its way out for decades. Neo-liberalism prones new scales of economic and political organization and the promise of a global civil society while international law ostensibly undermines the traditional functions of state power. The inadequacy of the state has found an equally sharp echo among populists who have reaffirmed democracy at the expense of a robust state. And in an odd déjà-vu, social scientists are once again pushing elsewhere: the state would seem at once the all-powerful protagonist of global finance or entirely insufficient for integrating popular power in our contemporary democracies.

Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar as considerações que os estudantes matriculados no sexto período do curso de Pedagogia oferecido pela Universidade Estadual do Sudoeste da Bahia (UESB)/Campus Itapetinga/BA apresentam acerca da pesquisa como princípio educativo em sua formação inicial. Esta se configura como uma pesquisa qualitativa e exploratória, realizada a partir da utilização de entrevistas feitas com seis estudantes do curso de Pedagogia da UESB, integrantes e não integrantes de Grupos de Pesquisa (GP). Ficou evidente que todos os estudantes pesquisados sabem o que é pesquisa e estão cientes de sua contribuição para a formação inicial e o exercício da docência; que esta deve estar presente no curso de Pedagogia e na Universidade, integrando ensino-pesquisa-extensão; que a pesquisa deve permear todo o currículo do curso e a pesquisa como princípio educativo deve fazer parte do cotidiano da formação. Dessa forma, entendemos que há semelhanças e diferenças entre estudantes participantes e não participantes de GP, mas com uma maturidade maior do primeiro grupo. Ainda, que a pesquisa na formação inicial deve possibilitar a busca pela transformação do sujeito em um cidadão emancipado, prático, crítico e reflexivo frente à realidade e isso inclui a elaboração própria.Palavras-chaves: Pesquisa; Princípio educativo; Formação inicial. ABSTRACT: This research aimed to analyze the considerations that students enrolled in the sixth period of the Pedagogy course offered by the State University of Southwest Bahia (UESB)/Campus Itapetinga/BA present about research as an educational principle in their initial teacher education. This one is configured as a qualitative and exploratory research, carried out through the use of interviews with six students from the UESB Pedagogy course, members and non-members of Research Groups (RG). It was evident that all students surveyed know what research is and are aware of its contribution to initial education and practice of teaching; that it must be present in Pedagogy course and at University, integrating teaching-research-extension; that research should permeate the entire curriculum of the course and research as an educational principle should be part of everyday training. Thus, we understand that there are similarities and differences between participating and non-participating students, but with a higher maturity of the first group. Still, that research in initial teacher education must enable the search for the subject’s transformation into an emancipated, practical, critical and reflective citizen in the face of reality and this includes self-elaboration.Keywords: Research; Educational principle; Initial teacher education.
