  • O Dono Do Morro Dona Marta
    4 As formações discursivas em Abusado : o dono do morro Dona Marta A pesquisadora Sandra Moura desenvolveu um vigoroso trabalho sobre o processo de investigação do jornalista Caco Barcellos, especialmente no que concerne a seu segundo livro Rota 66 : a história da polícia que mata. Ao longo do percurso de sua pesquisa, Moura observa a influência do novo jornalismo sobre a produção do jornalista. Segundo Sandra Moura (2007, p. 217), “ Rota 66 tem uma estrutura narrativa não muito comum ao texto jornalístico. Há algo que faz lembrar o andamento literário das grandes reportagens do chamado new journalism ”. E continua: “A análise dos documentos de processo de Rota 66 torna evidente essa presença literária: Ela pode ser localizada bem ali: no planejamento de cenas, nos roteiros e pauta” (Id, p, 217). A pesquisadora aponta a influência de Truman Capote no processo de formação do jornalista brasileiro. Caco Barcellos, por exemplo, leu e releu por inúmeras vezes a obra A sangue frio , com o objetivo de aprender a técnica de apuração dos fatos utilizada por Capote. Outro aspecto na produção do jornalista americano que lhe chamava a atenção era o seu modo de construir a narrativa. Para Sandra Moura (2007), embora Barcellos tenha se apropriado dos ensinamentos deixados por Capote, dentre os adeptos do new journalism , a grande influência de Barcellos parece ter sido Gay Talese, exatamente por o jornalista brasileiro apreciar imensamente o seu “lado cronista”. “Tal influência, certamente, deveu-se à convivência com jornalistas que aderiram no Brasil às técnicas do new journalism , a exemplo de Marcos Faerman, com quem Caco Barcellos trabalhou em Versus na década de 70” (MOURA, 2007, p.

  • International Film Festival April 24 – May 4, 2008 the Washington, Dc International Film Festival
    THE 22ND ANNUAL WASHINGTON, DC INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL APRIL 24 – MAY 4, 2008 THE WASHINGTON, DC INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL A world of films…a window into our world. Whether experienced in movie theaters, on DVDs or television in our homes, on our iPods or computers, films are the major communications media of our time. Hollywood films dominate commercial cinema. However, scores of talented filmmakers around the globe produce thou- sands of quality films that speak with a different voice, provide a different point of view, and tell different stories. Presenting these films in the nation’s capital is the purpose of Filmfest DC. Photo: Chad Evans Wyatt Film festivals are a journey of Tony Gittens, Festival Director and Shirin Ghareeb, Assistant Director discovery, a visual and thought provoking adventure into how people see and interpret our world. Every Filmfest DC is different and every film is unique from every other film in the festival. Together, they comprise an amazing representation of human imagination, commitment and talent. The festival has two special focuses this year — Politics & Film and New Latin Ameri- can Cinema. Obviously, politics are especially prominent during this election season and we wanted to explore the role affairs of state play in people’s every day lives. Latin American filmmakers are always a treasure trove of inventive storytelling. The di- verse selection of new work we have gathered from the Spanish-speaking world (in- cluding Spain) are moving, humorous, and insightful. None of this would be possible without the many dedicated people who have shared their time and talents with Filmfest DC.

  • Medindo O Impacto Das Políticas Públicas No Rio De Janeiro
    Julho 2011 Pesquisa sobre Empreendedorismo em Domicílios em Unidades de Polícia Pacificadora Parceria Empreendedores em Comunidades com UPP – SEBRAE-RJ e IETS _2_ 1. Argumento As Unidades de Polícia Pacificadora (UPP) foram criadas em 2008, por Decreto do Governador Sérgio Cabral Filho, com o objetivo de recuperar para o Estado o papel de agente punitivo único e legítimo em territórios sob o domínio de traficantes de drogas e de armas, devolvendo à população a segurança e tranquilidade nestes territórios. O restabelecimento da vigência da lei, democraticamente consagrada, é premissa para que se estabeleça um novo tipo de relação entre o Estado e as favelas, subordinada aos direitos e garantias fundamentais do cidadão. Nesse sentido, o Governo do Estado do Rio de Janeiro articulou as Secretarias de Segurança e de Assistência Social e Direitos Humanos para estabeleceram juntas as UPP, programa inédito, que articula políticas públicas de segurança com ações de desenvolvimento socioeconômico e ambiental, no longo prazo. Já foram inauguradas dezessete UPP, a primeira no Morro Santa Marta, em Botafogo, em dezembro de 2008, e a mais recente no Morro de São Carlos, que engloba comunidades do Estácio e Rio Comprido, em maio de 2011. O IETS, em 2010, em parceria com a FIRJAN e com a CNSeg , pesquisou as nove primeiras UPP e. Quatro são na Zona Sul: Cantagalo e Pavão-Pavãozinho, Ladeira dos Tabajaras, Babilônia e Chapéu Mangueira e Santa Marta; duas na Zona Oeste: Batan e Cidade de Deus; e uma no Centro, Providência. Em 2011, prepara-se para entrar no campo em mais sete: Borel; Formiga; Turano; Salgueiro; Macacos; São João – Matriz – Quieto e Andaraí, além do Morro Azul, em projeto já iniciado com parceria e financiamento da FIRJAN.

  • 2 a Origem Do Crime Organizado No Brasil
    2 A origem do crime organizado no Brasil O início das organizações criminosas no Brasil ainda não foi devidamente estudado de maneira sistêmica. Assim, os autores que abordam o tema acabam divergindo em alguns pontos. Para o promotor de justiça do Ministério Público de São Paulo Eduardo Araújo Silva (2003, p. 25-26) a origem das organizações criminosas brasileiras encontra-se no fenômeno do cangaço. O autor ainda cita o jogo do bicho como a primeira infração penal organizada no Brasil. Para ele o movimento conhecido como cangaço, cuja atuação ocorreu no sertão nordestino, no final do século XIX, é o antecedente da criminalidade organizada brasileira. O movimento que acabou conhecido pela figura de seu líder Virgulino Ferreira da Silva, o Lampião era dotado de organização hierárquica, divisão de funções e, com o transcorrer do tempo, passou a atuar em frentes como os saques a vilarejos, fazendas e municípios de pequeno porte; práticas de extorsão de dinheiro através de ameaças de ataques; e, sequestros de pessoas importantes e influentes. Os jagunços, capangas e cangaceiros agiam com apoio de fazendeiros e parte da classe política, bem como com o apoio material de policiais corruptos que acabavam lhes fornecendo armamento e munição. No que diz respeito ao jogo do bicho, o autor (2003) afirma que se trata da primeira infração penal organizada no Brasil. Esta contravenção penal que se iniciou em nosso país no século XX consiste no sorteio de prêmios em dinheiro a apostadores mediante prévio recolhimento de apostas. A sua origem é imputada ao Barão de Drumond que, com esse jogo, teve como finalidade salvar os animais do Jardim Zoológico do Estado do Rio de Janeiro 2.

  • Sscott Megacities S Paulo Rio Edv2
    Megacities: A Study of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro Grade Level: 9-12 Subject: Geography, World History Key Words: megacities, urban design Time Frame: 1-2 days Designed by: Sharlyn Scott School District: Desert Vista High School Summary: Using São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro as case studies to research and compare/contrast, students will gain a greater understanding of basic urban geography and the history and geography of Brazil. Background Information: Megacities are urban conglomerations with populations exceeding 10 million; sources vary on exactly how many global cities (and their urban sprawl) can be categorized as such. According to the United Nations, there were an estimated 37 cities with more than 10 million people in 2015, compared to just 14 in 1995, and they estimate there will be 41 (maybe as many as 43) megacities by 2030. Two of the three megacities in Latin America are in Brazil: São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. For more information about megacities, São Paulo, and Rio de Janeiro, see: • Blakemore (2016) “Five Things to Know About Megacities” (Smithsonian): https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/five-things-to-know-about- megacities-180958937/ • Catalytic Communities “Favela Facts”: http://catcomm.org/favela-facts/ • "São Paulo: South America’s Megacity”: https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=sNEeY_gXFBc Student Objectives Students will be able to • Consider the needs of human populations within a city (their own as an introduction) and what challenges/successes city planners and leaders, as well as the population of that city, experience. • Research characteristics of the physical geography and human geography of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro in order to create together a clearer picture and understanding of these two megacities in Brazil, and the successes/challenges both have experienced.
