We were not or want to be modern?
20
Oct
The book We have never been modern by Bruno Latour is divided into five chapters, namely: Crisis, 
Constitution, Revolution, Relativism and redistribution.
Latour put in suspension the concept of modernity and says not only that it is ambiguous, but one should think that she got off the ground and speeches, despite being a period where the order is highly desired, due to lack of a project “unique” it causes hybridization of things and subjectsIt’s what Bauman, in his book Modernity and Ambivalence wanted to analyze, but in which she claims that modernity is more than what is-not and never has been, for it is liquid.Unlike Bauman will examine the roots of our thinking “modern”, where their groupings, and concept will be analyzed from scientists Boyle and Hobbes.
Boyle at a time when a dozen civil wars are triggered choose a method of argument, the opinion, derided by most antiquated scholastic tradition.
Since Hobbes discredits the whole Boyle device and says that there is only one knowledge, one only power if you want to put an end to civil wars, is the famous Hommo homini lupus (man is a wolf to man) from where its the came book Leviathan and where part of the whole contractarian tradition.Latour in his third chapter deals with the Revolution, we are in a final season, even though modernity has never fulfilled its role, the order, or “human pacification”, what Peter Sloterdijk says in his book “Rules for the human Park“, it project that failed.
Claims of revolutionary projects are having tried to go one last time the circle of pre-modern, encompassing all divine, natural and social beings, Marx argued that own in German Ideology, in order to avoid the contradiction of Kantianism between the role of purification and mediation.Latour explains that separated two dimensions (he says qualities) pure ontological, is the spirit a more subjective version, either of matter at its most objective version, ie separate things of the subjects gave what gave: Being Division .
Postmoderns believe that because modern are still accept the full division between the material and the technical world on one side, the language sets of the speakers of another subject.
Things like technology are part of human life, separating them is an onset schizophrenia, fragmenting be putting the “spiritual” life away from the concrete and human.

WhatsApp has become an important and widely used, but some drawbacks
are very common, see if they are not abusing some of them:
are very common, see if they are not abusing some of them:Messages at inappropriate times
You’re almost asleep or in the middle of sleep and is called by the touch of WhatsApp, worse when it is a trivial or unimportant message. Do not send messages too early or too late, of course, the less it is of utmost importance.
Some subjects are personal
Nobody wants to be spectator charges of discussions, family or love affairs, and this is quite common. The subject should interest at least one third of the group, if not send an individual message or a small group.
Chains of different types
Current follow alive in WhatsApp as conspiracies, religious content in too and promises to perform certain desires, when of course, you forward to at least a few friends. Are you sure that it really work?
Excess emojis
The emojis are cool and some very amusing, contains a message (but appropriate). The problem is that there are some people exaggerate and use the resource without any proper order (see photo). Sometimes it is very difficult to understand what is meant.
Os memes como arte
03
Sep
Enquanto os puristas ficam criticam e mal usando a internet,
pessoas bem intencionadas tentam por um pouco de humor e descontração na Web, existe muita gente tentando por bom humor, brincadeiras saudáveis e fazer bom uso da internet e da Web.
O termo meme é uma ampliação do conceito de Richard Dawkings sobre um termo que ampliava a teoria de informações culturais em seu livro The Selfish Gene.
Mas meme virou uma forma de pixação e em tempos de fanatismo político, isto se ampliou ainda mais e ao contrário de ampliar o conceito de informação cultura, o deturpa.
Uma versão mais “light” de ilustração nas fotos da Web ficou conhecida no jargão da Web como “photobombing”, que no sentido negativo é arruinar uma foto por uma ação planejada ou mesmo acidental, mas que pode muito bem ser positiva, é o caso do artista Lucas Levitan.
Suas intervenções curiosas e bem humoradas estão de acordo com aquele conceito de Dawkins.
Schools debate use of technology
05

A brazilian debate on the technology emerged in the
television media and it struck much of the population as this medium is still quite favorite among adults, but as always the debate is directed and made by some schools and some “experts”. There’s certain things well and so curious as: “a child can use the app for no more than thirty minutes,” but where they got it, actually vary from person to person, and the important thing is the conscious use, for example: “Son we combine a time” and negotiating. After the program cited an educational video game that would be used by 28,000 children again draws attention to the exact number, if they were 27 983 I believe, and then asks a mother of a child named Emanuelle approving. “She was not following the class, but with the use of the application, she had a much greater interaction and managed to get along fast results,” find curious the result, of course the stimulus is important, but it is true for the application as for a book. Then come the experts with a “magic number”, children up to two years should stay away from technology and then with a moderate use, is laughable, the limit should be the age of the child literacy, or until it has given skill . Now enter diseases: “More than two hours (they were not thirty minutes?), I consider excessive. And the company believes it has been researched (where ???), because they get to have a lot of symptoms. The child may have a headache, body pain, irritability, aggressiveness, low school performance, “explains neurologist Christian Müller, chutômetro, but his clinic will fill with patients. There repressive final sentence: “parents have to keep an eye”, then use the outdated technique of reward, said a father who gave away a gift tablet ..: ‘I said, man, is now’. If you throw the pacifier away, the Fairy pacifier will bring you a tablet ‘, the child opened the trash can in the store,’ Where’s my tablet ‘, “he recalled his father. I am a afixionado technology, I’m sure it is final and should be used by children, but the questions remain: at what age? how often? how many hours? something I’m also sure: it is not the same number for all. We need to take education seriously, very amateurish and guesswork
Dialogy and the possible dialogue
31
Jul
The term was treated by Baktin and Martin Buber, and therefore can overcome ideological barriers linked to the first, was a Marxist, and religious linked to the second, who was a Jew interested in religious matters, but fundamentally an educator.
Finally we can remember Paulo Freire for whom dialogue was essential in the educational process, and thus verify that there is in human nature a possible way in contrasts, contrasts and clashes.
To explain this reliade, Buber come a way revealing that between a man and another, something called zwischenmenschlich (or among men or the inter-human), it the truth takes on a body and therefore real dimension.
In this sphere interhuman an essential characteristic is spontaneity, and it all looks or “deception” would be fatal in authentic dialogue the Other says as what it really is and is confirmed by their nature, and this becomes dialogical.
Buber for the modern man, is combining its existence in the unidirectional relationship between the Self (self ego) and a manipulable object (this), countered this a US-TU name of your book and for him “who lives only with This is not a man “(Buber, 1977, p. 39), but This can be anything” ideal “that is any” Something. ”
To Baktin, the world is peopled with voices of other people, and these voices are the words with the senses ‘statements’, I try every direction of the world through other people’s words, and this acquisition of speech is allowing me to purchase all the treasures of cultural (Baktin, 1969, p. 347).
As Buber also for him, the “I” exists only insofar as it is related to a “you” that “be means to communicate with,” and “I” is someone who goes to a “thou “and what happens between us, between” you “and” I “, is an event of” being, “a” “eventBeing “, an open dynamic fact that you have to question character and response at the same time.
