Title: Desaprendendo estereótipos: ensino-aprendizagem sobre histórias e culturas indígenas nas séries iniciais do ensino fundamental I Abstract: This study addresses the teaching of Indigenous histories and cultures in the early grades of elementary school, highlighting the need to overcome stereotypical representations still present in the school environment and teaching materials. The research starts from the recognition that the school plays a central role in the formation of critical subjects and in the appreciation of cultural diversity, especially with regard to the (re)cognition of Indigenous peoples as contemporary historical subjects. The objective of the investigation was to analyze how pedagogical practices can contribute to the deconstruction of stereotypes about Indigenous peoples and promote an intercultural, critical education committed to respect for otherness. It sought to understand how second-grade elementary school children construct their perceptions of these peoples and how pedagogical interventions can transform distorted or generalized views. The methodology adopted was qualitative in nature, with the development of a pedagogical intervention applied to 56 students, aged between 7 and 8 years. The activities were structured in an interdisciplinary way, articulating content from History and Social Sciences, with support from anthropological references. Different instruments were used, such as group discussions, video screenings, reading of literary and informational texts, drawing, poster making, dramatizations, and practical activities, in addition to the analysis of teaching materials used in the classroom. Data collection occurred through the students' speeches, records, and productions throughout the process. The results showed that, initially, the students presented stereotypical conceptions, associating indigenous peoples with homogeneous, folklorized images restricted to the past. After the intervention, a significant expansion of cultural repertoire, greater understanding of indigenous diversity and contemporaneity, and the development of more empathetic, respectful, and critical attitudes were observed. The students' productions indicated advances in valuing differences and in the ability to recognize indigenous peoples as an integral part of current Brazilian society. It is concluded that the implementation of interdisciplinary, critical, and contextualized pedagogical practices contributes significantly to the deconstruction of stereotypes and to the formation of a broader social awareness from the early school years. The research reaffirms the role of the school as a fundamental space for promoting cultural diversity, social justice, and respect for the multiple identities that constitute Brazilian society.

Title: O sindicalismo médico durante a pandemia de COVID-19: alinhamento e resistência ao governo Bolsonaro Abstract: The research analyzes the positioning of Brazilian doctor’s unions during the Covid-19 pandemic. The performance and guidelines of ten medical unions, two per geographical region, were analyzed in view of the health policies implemented by the Bolsonaro government. This was documentary research. The unions do not have a univocal or homogeneous position. The positioning varies between alignment, resistance and ambiguity. The ideological political orientation is an explanatory variable because, the unions affiliated to the central offices that occupy a position on the left in the Brazilian ideological trade union spectrum have tended to take a critical stance to the health policies of the Bolsonaro government and are active in defending their representatives.

Title: Produção acadêmica na pós-graduação brasileira em Ciências Sociais: uma análise bibliométrica dos estudos sobre gêneros e sexualidades divergentes e/ou dissidentes (2008-2023) Abstract: Esta disertación de maestría analiza la producción académica brasileña en Ciencias Sociales sobre géneros y sexualidades divergentes y/o disidentes, entre 2008 y 2023, a partir de un levantamiento bibliométrico de disertaciones y tesis registradas en el Catálogo de Tesis y Disertaciones de CAPES. El objetivo fue identificar las características de dicha producción (objetos de investigación, marcos teóricos, grupos estudiados, distribución regional y financiamiento), con el fin de comprender las dinámicas del campo científico de los estudios de género y sexualidad en Brasil. Metodológicamente, se trata de una investigación descriptiva y cuantitativa, basada en análisis bibliométrico y de contenido, que examinó 101 trabajos de Ciencias Sociales, Antropología, Sociología y Ciencia Política. Los resultados muestran fluctuaciones anuales vinculadas a coyunturas políticas, económicas y sanitarias, con picos en 2016 y 2020, y un descenso a partir de 2021, debido a recortes y a la hostilidad hacia la ciencia durante el gobierno de Bolsonaro. La producción está compuesta mayoritariamente por disertaciones, reflejando la estructura del posgrado. La región Sudeste concentra el mayor número de trabajos, especialmente en São Paulo y Río de Janeiro, evidenciando desigualdades institucionales. Más de la mitad de las investigaciones (52%) no contó con financiamiento; entre las financiadas, predominan las becas de CAPES y CNPq. Los temas más recurrentes son movilización política (31) y derechos civiles/políticas públicas (28), y los marcos teóricos más citados incluyen a Michel Foucault, Judith Butler, Regina Facchini, Pierre Bordieu y Edward MacRae, destacando la centralidad del pos-estructuralismo y la influencia de autores extranjeros.

Title: Um sorriso forçado: análise sobre a precarização do trabalho hoteleiro e suas implicações para os trabalhadores Abstract: This sociological study aimed to understand how neoliberal logic and flexible accumulation redefine the processes of labor flexibilization and precarization in the hotel sector, part of the service industry. Wage-related, social, and professional issues were examined, as well as forms of hostility originating from both employers and guests. The analysis focused on segments of the working class, particularly wage earners in the service sector, who are often treated in an inferior manner by customers positioned on the opposite side of the counter. It was observed that this sector has increasingly relied on technologies aimed at employee surveillance, along with new managerial strategies disseminated throughout the twenty-first century. Flexibilization frequently proved to be a euphemism for labor precarization, while the accumulation of tasks was encouraged as proactivity and multifunctionality within the framework of flexible accumulation, understood as a form of expropriation that has come to dominate the contemporary service sector. Such mechanisms, rather than functioning as tools to support hotel work, have been converted into factors that intensify labor exploitation. These transformations have been accompanied by operational problems in hotel management systems, constant surveillance through continuously operating cameras, and the requirement of permanent readiness imposed by social media, which demand immediate responses to guests' requests. Furthermore, the social problems present in this sector have often manifested with the complacency of employers and in the absence of firm action by the sector's legal representation. Issues related to working time, access to personal information, individualization, moral and sexual harassment, low wages, and multifunctionality were identified as constitutive dimensions of labor precarization in the twenty-first century. Classical sociological authors, as well as contemporary researchers in the Sociology of Work and in hospitality studies, contributed to the understanding of a form of employment marked by the physical and psychological exhaustion of workers. The bibliographical study of authors associated with historical materialism served as a theoretical tool supporting the analysis of the service sector. The research analyzed the neoliberal State and its economic models, which exert pressure on workers through low wages and high turnover rates. A bibliographical review grounded in classical sociological authors was conducted, highlighting that such authors had already pointed to the precarization of labor under liberal and conservative policies, responsible for sustaining a structure that devalues the working class within the service sector. The relevance of the relationship between the Brazilian State and the processes of labor precarization was also emphasized. From this point onward, the study developed a discussion of precarious work in the hotel industry, incorporating contemporary debates such as the proposal to abolish the 6×1 work schedule (six days of work for one day of rest), discussed in the years 2024, 2025, and 2026. The study analyzed the perception of front-desk workers regarding their exhaustion and their level of job satisfaction, as well as the practice of the "forced smile" as a mechanism for the simulation of emotions, an approach situated within the subfield known as the Sociology of Emotions. Documentary analysis of the 2017 Labor Reform and of the "Green and Yellow" Provisional Measure (MP) provided empirical support for the dissertation. It was concluded that the precarization of hotel labor results from the articulation between neoliberal policies, the fragility of union representation, and the dismantling of labor rights, with direct effects on workers' physical and mental health.
