This analysis is based on ethnographic research, with maes de santo, in two terreiros de Linha Cruzada, in Rio Grande do Sul, and with benzedeiras from the Movimento Aprendizes da Sabedoria (MASA) in Parana. We propose to discuss, from what these women evoke and carry out, ways of know how that show ruptures to the western-patriarchal model of knowledge production about bodies and health. Their practices and knowledge of healing, stimulated in these two ethnographic contexts, produce intense relations with humans and non-humans (plants, water, earth, animals, orixas, popular saints, monks, etc.), in which different entities act as intensities and powers relational. Benzedeiras and maes de santo demand the recognition of their religious and healing practices that have historically been discriminated, censored, monitored and repressed by the State, as in cases where Afro-religious were persecuted and the benzedeiras held on charges of carrying out illegal healing activities.","PeriodicalId":187793,"journal":{"name":"Mediações: Revista de Ciências Sociais","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117104975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We first reconstruct M. Foucault's argument regarding the transformations promoted by neoliberalism in the context of punishment and its correlated modality of subjectivation. We argue that his prognosis regarding the future of normalizing institutions, such as the prison, turned out to be, in part, historically mistaken. We then proceed to explore the central argument of the article, namely, that in the past three decades, political technologies and forms of subjectivation in the sphere of punishment have been marked by reciprocal support between neoliberal and other disciplinary and sovereign mechanisms. To this end, we conduct a theoretical-analytical discussion based on empirical examples from countries such as the United States and Brazil. We aim to contribute, thus, from the sociology of punishment, to the contemporary discussion regarding the confluence between neoliberalism and authoritarianism.","PeriodicalId":187793,"journal":{"name":"Mediações: Revista de Ciências Sociais","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134366368","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, Brazil's participation in the Frankfurt Book Fair twice as guest of honor (1994 - 2013) constituted the most privileged moments of the country's exhibition on the edition world stage. Even though it is an eminently commercial arena, Frankfurt is much more than that, with important symbolic implications as well.

One of the pillars of sustainability is the so-called adequate and healthy food, which encompasses a complex of dimensions, from the macro-relationships of production and distribution of goods to the community social micro-relationships and the recognition of people as political subjects. In this sense, this concept of sustainability presupposes a theoretical and practical debate on social justice, which will be developed in this article. We will address, initially, the socio-cultural aspects of food, in reference to the construction of cultural identities and the identification of social inequalities, which are expressed in the concept of adequate and healthy food found in the National Policy on Food and Nutrition (PNAN, in Portuguese). This policy seeks to articulate food, health and quality of life having as principle the adequate and quality food understood as a human right. Finally, we will reflect on social justice based on the articulation between food policies and social justice theories, focusing on the debate proposed by Nancy Fraser.","PeriodicalId":187793,"journal":{"name":"Mediações: Revista de Ciências Sociais","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114469455","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since the 2000s, Brazilian legislation has followed changes in the global food market in which sanitary and labelling issues are given priority in food quality definitions. Unlike other studies that analyze problems in standard compliance, this article problematizes the very definition of these standards. Our sources are reports and technical regulations of the National Agency of Sanitary Surveillance and the National Institute of Metrology, Quality and Technology; newspaper articles and food industry’s periodicals; consumers associations’ publications and market reports. These changes in quality standards mainly favored the opening of new market niches for industrially processed food, as well as the market for ingredients and chemical additives to serve this sector. They also meant the loss in nutritional quality in products and they have resulted in criticism from consumer groups and health care professionals who are attentive to products that emerge from such changes. We conclude that the analysis of these transformations in quality definitions allow us to understand not only how new products and health claims have gained institutional legitimacy and what interests such standards serve but also how the loss of nutritional quality in food is a serious issue allowed by the legislation itself.","PeriodicalId":187793,"journal":{"name":"Mediações: Revista de Ciências Sociais","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116814961","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
