Title: Entre a realidade e a ficção: uma reflexão acerca das representações juvenis em produções midiáticas e televisivas da atualidade Abstract: This study aims to examine how audiovisual media productions (such as films, soap operas, and TV and/or streaming series) aimed at a younger audience address and represent adolescence (specifically from 12 to 18 years old) through the narratives of their main characters. To this end, a discussion was held with a class of 3rd-year high school students from the Escola Estadual de Uberlândia, using a pre-defined set of questions and sampling two scenes from youth series, one from Euphoria (2019) and the other from Heartstopper (2022), respectively – with the intention of understanding youth through the lens of youth itself. Based on the information gathered during the discussion, this work compares the narratives of both series and the students' unique definition of being young/being an adolescent, in order to understand the extent to which these series represent real young people. Finally, this is initial work on the subject and, although there is a conclusion on the points presented, it does not exhaust everything that still needs to be researched and discussed about representation, identity, and youth.

Title: “Ciclos de poder e lucro: corporações transnacionais, elites políticas e religiosas e a superexploração do Brasil” Abstract: This paper is an essay that seeks to analyze how the articulation between global financial capital, political elites, and evangelical leadership has reconfigured Brazil’s structural dependence, establishing a regime of “financialized impunity” in which socio-environmental crimes and corporate fraud are treated as operational costs. The study historically reconstructs this subordination, from the influence of the United States in the 1964 dictatorship to the 2016 impeachment and the Lava Jato operation, with impacts on Petrobras. Cases such as the Vale disasters (Mariana and Brumadinho), Lojas Americanas, and Eletrobras illustrate how the logic of dividend maximization intensifies exploitation, inequality, and the loss of sovereignty. The methodology employed is qualitative and exploratory, based on bibliographic review, documentary analysis, and examination of audiovisual materials. The results indicate that Brazil is experiencing a “modernization of dependence,” characterized by financial flows, indebtedness, and institutional capture rather than military occupation. The analysis highlights the need for stronger financial system regulation and the reconstruction of state capacity to address structural inequalities.

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.
