Based on hints gathered in documents and observations, the aim of this work is to reveal emancipatory meanings present, though invisible or not fully realized in regulatory processes, as well as to understand knowledge and ideas impregnated in the daily practices of social agents. In order to valorize edge knowledge and social practices, this work is grounded on Boaventura de Sousa Santos, especially on his formulation of a two-fold Sociology: one related to the social experiences that have not been recognized yet as valuable and the second related to the expansion of possible social experiences. The movement corresponds to the construction of an archeology of already developed social experiences, though not visible or recognized by the existing theoretical frameworks, so as to reveal both kinds of experiences: the recognized ones and the possible ones. By means of experiences developed by ordinary people, the aim is to get to know and socialize experiences conducted in boundary scientific works in several social areas to make it possible to gather hints to the production of alternatives to hegemonic ideas and to the maintenance of traditions abandoned by modern sciences. Based on what can be called «Sociology of absences», experiences can be valued, publicized and used to convey hidden meanings, to exploit possible ways to deal with posed questions and to legitimate new forms of thinking. Based on these assumptions, we present a reflection on an experience in the social field, regarding possible conflicts and dialogues between forms of knowledge. In this case, we treat the pedagogical experience with video and TV programs, developed by teachers and experts on education and communication in the official schools of Rio de JaneiroCity, being the latter put in charge of helping the former in their pedagogical practices. By means of the hints gathered, sometimes taken as unimportant, it was possible to identify in the teachers´ speeches and actions, particular ways to work works with video and TV programs that, far from being characterized by lack of knowledge, were plenty of alternative logical thinking and could lead to the production of creative and emancipatory practices. In short, what could be seen as meaningless could also be regarded as emerging knowledge. Com base em indícios resgatados em documentos e observações, o objetivo deste trabalho é revelar sentidos emancipatórios existentes, mas invisíveis ou ignorados, em meio aos processos regulatórios, bem como compreender os saberes, as idéias que impregnam as práticas cotidianas desenvolvidas pelos sujeitos sociais. No sentido de valorizar os conhecimentos e as práticas sociais marginais, fundamentamo-nos em Boaventura de Sousa Santos, que propõe a sociologia das ausências e a sociologia das emergências. Na primeira, o movimento é o de expandir o domínio das experiências sociais já disponíveis, contudo negligenciadas, enquanto na segunda é o de expandir o domínio das experiências sociais possíveis. Propõe uma arqueologia das experiências já existentes, mas invisíveis, no intuito de revelar as experiências do mundo, tanto as disponíveis como as possíveis. Trata-se de revelar e difundir experiências vividas por pessoas comuns, de conhecer e propalar experiências construídas em trabalhos científicos marginalizados e de encontrar e anunciar conhecimentos/experiências nos mais diversos campos sociais, no movimento de constituição de alternativas à lógica hegemônica e, ao mesmo tempo, de manutenção de tradições marginalizadas e desperdiçadas pela ciência moderna. Por meio da sociologia das ausências, estas experiências são resgatadas e divulgadas para se tornarem possíveis encaminhamentos das questões enfrentadas, para se constituírem em outros sentidos para a transformação social ou, ainda, para propor novas formas de pensar. Apresentamos uma reflexão sobre experiência no campo social de conhecimentos que, segundo Santos, trata de conflitos e diálogos possíveis entre diferentes formas de conhecimento. No caso deste trabalho, a tentativa é a de resgatar a experiência pedagógica no uso de vídeos de alguns dos professores da Rede Municipal de Educação do Rio de Janeiro, ignorada pelos próprios professores e por especialistas nas áreas de educação e comunicação, sendo os últimos produtores de vídeos educativos para auxiliar a prática pedagógica dos primeiros. O exercício de ler indícios e pistas, muitas vezes insignificantes, mas reveladores, presentes nas falas e ações dos professores, indicou que, longe de ausência de saber, os modos peculiares de utilização de TV e vídeo revelam outros saberes e outra(s) lógica(s). O que pode sugerir ação isolada e desprovida de conhecimento, também pode ser compreendido como pista para uma prática e um saber criativo e emancipatório.

Forms Of Knowledge

Seventeenth-century English dramatists produced several ‘disguised duke’ plays in which a ruler disguises himself to reinforce political control. Critics typically view these as a call for monarchs to address corruption at court. But such readers have largely ignored the epistemological shift represented: knowledge is based on circulation among, observation of, and dialogue with citizens rather than on textual traditions. Together, the plays legitimise the knowledge and experience of observers immersed in London’s daily life, playwrights included. Moreover, the disguised ruler motif also contributed to the social practices through which ‘new’ empirical forms of knowledge gained authority.

Abstract: Policy analyses based on traditional or structuralist definitions of the state are important, but they have some limitations for explaining processes related to policymaking, implementation, and results. Bourdieusian sociology links the analysis to objective and subjective dimensions of social practices and can help elucidate these phenomena. This article provides such empirical evidence by analyzing the social genesis of a Brazilian policy that currently serves 18 million workers and was established by the state in 1976 through the Fiscal Incentives Program for Workers’ Nutrition (PIFAT/PAT). The study linked the analysis of the trajectory of social agents involved in the policy’s formulation to the historical conditions that allowed the policy to exist in the first place. Although the literature treats the policy as a workers’ food program (PAT), the current study showed that it actually represented a new model for paying financial subsidies to companies that provided food to their employees, meanwhile upgrading the commercial market for collective meals. The study further showed that the program emerged as an administrative policy, but linked to economic agents. The program became a specific social space in which issues related to workers’ nutrition became secondary, but useful for disguising what had been an explicit side of its genesis, namely its essentially fiscal nature.

Research on political accountability emphasizes elections and popular control, but often neglects how ordinary people hold their leaders to account in the context of daily life. Dominant scholarly approaches emphasize the logic of electoral sanctioning and removal, missing the importance of mutual respect between representatives and citizens. This article introduces a new logic of democratic accountability based on the social practices, daily political behaviors, and public deliberation between representatives and citizens. Using urban Ghana as a study site, this article uncovers the mechanisms through which a theory based on respect works in practice. By reconciling theories of political representation with deliberative democracy, the article places the voices of urban Ghanaians in conversation with Western political thought to broaden understandings of accountability in African democracies.

This article explores how the intersection of religion,religiosity and public segment is more likely manifest in oureveryday life. The background of terror and conflicts occurredin the grass roots enacted the social agents to create a moredemocratic space that is accessible to people, as JurgenHabermas stated, with diverse setting of religion, ethnicity,social class, education, tribes and other socio-cultural markers.In a sociology-anthropological view, queries include the aspectsof religious tolerance in Islam for diverse faiths, the significanceof public sphere related to socio-religious entity and thecontribution of Ngebag tradition for the model of harmony forinter-religious encounter in Indonesia. The study shows thatthe creativity of Ngebag tradition served as the arena amongthe members of sub-urban community in Karangjati Wetan interms of the actualization of Islamic values. At the same time,the participation of Karangjati people within the traditionaccentuated the open access for everyone in a social relation.The tradition contributes to abridge the religious pole and thesocial one in that people acquire a mode of learning andinspiration such as the hospitality to guests, charity andsocialization. Those instances of inspiration can be carried outin the proportional form of everyday social practices in theirown situations and contexts.Keywords: Islam, Ngebag, Tradition, Public-Sphere, Conflicts,Harmony

Re-creating the social, economic and demographic life-cycles of ordinary people is one way in which historians might engage with the complex continuities and changes which underlay the development of early modern communities. Little, however, has been written on the ways in which historians might deploy computers, rather than card indexes, to the task of identifying such life cycles from the jumble of the sources generated by local and national administration. This article suggests that multiple-source linkage is central to historical and demographic analysis, and reviews, in broad outline, some of the procedures adopted in a study which aims at large scale life cycle reconstruction.

The Way

This review is devoted to the monograph by Jan Nedvěd “We do not decline our heads. The events of the year 1968 in Karlovy Vary”. The Karlovy Vary municipal museum coincided its publishing with the fiftieth anniversary of the Prague spring which, considering the way of the presentation, turned the book not only to scientific event but also to the social one. The book describes sociopolitical trends in the region before the year 1968, the development of the reformist movement, the invasion and advance of the armies of the Warsaw Pact countries, and finally the decline of the reformist mood and the beginning of the normalization. Working on his writing, the author deeply studied the materials of the local archive and gathered the unique selection of the photographs depicting the passage of the soviet army through the spa town and the protest actions of its inhabitants. In the meantime, Nedvěd takes undue freedom with scientific terms, and his selection of historiography raises questions. The author bases his research on the Czech papers and scarcely uses the books of Russian origin. He also did not study the subject of the participating of the GDR’s army in the operation Danube, although these troops were concentrated on the borders of Karlovy Vary region as well. Because of this decision, there are no materials from German archives or historiography in the monograph. In general, the work lacks the width of studying its subject, but it definitively accomplishes the task of depicting the Prague spring from the regional perspective.

The ubiquity and importance of narratives in human adaptation has been recognized by many scholars. Research has identified several functions of narratives that are conducive to individuals’ well-being and adaptation as well as to coordinated social practices and enculturation. In this paper, we characterize the social and cognitive functions of narratives in terms of the framework of active inference. Active inference depicts the fundamental tendency of living organisms to adapt by creating, updating, and maintaining inferences about their environment. We review the literature on the functions of narratives in identity, event segmentation, episodic memory, future projection, storytelling practices, and enculturation. We then re-cast these functions of narratives in terms of active inference, outlining a parsimonious model that can guide future developments in narrative theory, research, and clinical applications.
