Na contemporaneidade, tanto brasileira, quanto ocidental, percebe-se incrustrada no imaginário coletivo a associação entre a prática do chamado bullying e episódios de violência juvenil extrema. Este artigo propõe-se a explorar os meandros desse vínculo a partir de um viés antropológico e, portanto, lança mão da etnografia como elemento primordial. A partir de dados obtidos em trabalho de campo realizado nos cenários brasileiro e estadunidense, tece-se uma análise que põe em relevo as tensões em torno do agenciamento da noção de bullying desencadeadas por duas tragédias juvenis emblemáticas: os ataques armados em Columbine High School (Colorado, Estados Unidos) e na Escola Municipal Tasso da Silveira (Realengo, Rio de Janeiro - RJ), ocorridos respectivamente em 1999 e 2011, ambos com vítimas fatais. A conclusão sinaliza a importância do investimento etnográfico na tarefa de politizar o debate sobre a violência juvenil num âmbito especificamente nacional, na contramão de generalizações oriundas de uma esfera internacional. Palavras-chave: Bullying. Agência. Violência juvenil. Eventos extremos. Etnografia.On the tortuous elucidation of the tragic: the agency of the bullying concept in extreme events of young violence AbstractIn contemporaneity, in Brazil and in the West, the collective imagination has been found a strong association between the practice of bullying and episodes of extreme juvenile violence. This article proposes to explore the intricacies of this link from an anthropological approach and, therefore, uses ethnography as a primordial element. Based on data obtained from fieldwork carried out in the Brazilian and American scenarios, the analysis highlights the tensions surrounding the agency of bullying notion triggered by two emblematic juvenile tragedies: the armed attacks at Columbine High School (Colorado, United States) and at the Tasso da Silveira Municipal School (Realengo neighborhood, City of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), which occurred respectively in 1999 and 2011, both with fatal victims. The conclusion points to the importance of ethnographic investment in the task of politicizing the debate on youth violence in a specifically national context, as opposed to generalizations from an international sphere.Key words: Bullying. Agency. Juvenile violence. Extreme events. Ethnography.

Active shooter events have captured the public’s attention since the Columbine High School shooting in 1999. Although there has been research on various aspects of these events, only a single study has attempted to identify factors that are related to the number of people injured or killed in these events. This study was limited in that it only considered the presence or absence of a semi-automatic rifle. This paper expands on the existing research by examining several other factors that may impact the total number of people shot or killed during active shooter events.

The learning process of biotechnology material in SMA and MA Kubu Raya still has problems such as the lack of learning media that only textbooks and LKS. The textbooks and LKS have drawbacks, including only showing a few images, too much writing and material that does not yet contain the potential of local West Kalimantan biotechnology. So that development is carried out, namely the flip book that has gone through a validation process. However, the untrue response to the flip book is unknown, so the purpose of this study was to determine the teacher's response to the West Kalimantan-based biotechnology flip book learning typical of the Kubu Raya High School. The method used is descriptive with quantitative and qualitative approaches. The data collection tool in this study was using a closed questionnaire. Determination of the sample using purposive sampling technique with consideration of the area and school accreditation. The results showed that the average response of teachers of SMA and MA Kubu Raya to flip books in aspects of attraction was 84.99%, material aspects 82.34%, language aspects 84.73%, and media aspects 74.73%. Based on the results of the research conducted, it can be concluded that the teacher's response to the West Kalimantan-based biotechnology flip book learning typical of SMA Kubu Raya has positive criteria based on aspects of interest, material aspects, language aspects and media aspects.

Oswald Spengler was a prominent historian in the Weimar Republic (1918–1933). From 1908 to 1911, he worked as a high school teacher in Hamburg. Thereafter he worked as an independent author in Munich. His The Decline of the West (Der Untergang des Abendlandes, 1918, 1922) provided an important impetus for cultural analysis in the 1920s and 1930s in Germany.

AbstractObjectiveIn a cohort of government employees in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, we investigated prospectively, sex-specific associations between education and BMI trajectories and their potential effect modification by race.DesignOf the 4030 participants in Phase 1 (1999), 3253 (81 %) participated in Phase 2 (2003) and 3058 (76 %) participated in Phase 3 (2006). Education was categorized as elementary, high school or college graduate. Study participants self-identified as White, Black or Pardo. BMI was calculated from measured weight and height. BMI trajectories were modelled using a generalized additive regression model with mixed effects (GAMM).SettingThe Pro-Saúde Study, a longitudinal investigation of social determinants of health.SubjectsWomen (n 1441) and men (n 1127) who participated in the three phases of data collection and had complete information for all study variables.ResultsWomen and men with less than high school, or only a high school education, gained approximately 1 kg/m2 more than college graduates (women: 1·06 kg/m2 (P<0·001) and 1·06 kg/m2 (P<0·001), respectively; men: 1·04 kg/m2 (P=0·013) and 1·01 kg/m2 (P=0·277), respectively). For women only, race was independently associated with weight gain. Women identifying as Pardo or Black gained 1·03 kg/m2 (P=0·01) and 1·02 kg/m2 (P=0·10), respectively, more than Whites. No effect modification by race was observed for either men or women.ConclusionsWhile both lower education and darker race were associated with greater weight gain, gender similarities and differences were observed in these associations. The relationship between weight gain and different indicators of social status are therefore complex and require careful consideration when addressing the obesity epidemic.

Professional historians will surely agree that the writing of history is itself an act of historical consequence. If history is, as Carl Becker argues, “the artificial extension of the social memory,” and if social identity and behavior depend in part on memory, then created versions of the past are a serious matter. They can have decisive effects on the present. Henry Nash Smith's Virgin Land is an exemplary form of a creative history which extends, refines, and enlightens social memory. And it does so in a particularly significant way, by pioneering a new area for study, a new territory in the landscape of memory. It is the area of a general cultural consciousness—“the region of culture,” as Leo Marx puts it, “where literature, general ideas, and certain products of the collective imagination—we may call them ‘cultural symbols’— meet.” Henry Nash Smith himself describes as his aim to trace “the impact of the West, the vacant continent beyond the frontier, on the consciousness of Americans.” His territory is consciousness in relation to a complex historical actuality, the American West.
