Event and act: reflections of psychoanalysis on the repercussions of May 1968
Resumo O artigo surge da inquieta ção de psicanalistas diante do sucesso ou fracasso dos movimentos sociais como resposta à atual crise institucional, política e social. Destacamos o dilema epistemológico e político presente na indagação que percorreu o movimento de Maio de 1968: as estruturas descem ou não para a rua? O ca minho adotado é examinar os efeitos do movimento e cotejá-los com as concepções teóricas de Lacan. O saldo que obtemos desse balanço crítico foi considerar Maio de 1968 como um acontecimento que nos lembra de que é possível estruturar uma nova forma de política. Nomear a vergonha dos ...

Netnography and scientific research on the internet
This article discusses the conduct of academic research in online environments, especially in places that apparently sound inadequate for the construction of scientific knowledge. Based on Netnography and on the description of a methodological trajectory that exclusively used Facebook as a locus of data production, we conclude that the possibility of methodological invention is undeniably one of the legacies of the internet for scientific research. It is a creative process that cannot exclude rigor, ethical conduct and reliability, characteristics that are so expensive and indispensable to the method of building scientific...

Social isolation in the managed society
This article aims to reflect on whether the current social isolation recommended by the World Health Organization to face the Sars-Cov2 pandemic reflects a social distance for which we have already prepared ourselves in our training, when aimed at self-preservation. To this end, we examine, albeit briefly, issues associated with political and economic power, social progress, senses and reason, and the aversion to sexuality, based on works by authors of the Critical Theory - Hebert Marcuse, Max Horkheimer and Theodor W. Adorno - and of Sigmund Freud.R ésumé Cet article vise à examiner si l ’ isolement social actuel rec...

Limitations of the survey conducted by the Forum of Public Security on the perception of sexual violence in Brazil
This article examined the methodology used in the survey named “ Perception of sexual violence and care of female victims by police institutions ” , conducted in 2016 by the Brazilian Forum of Public Security. The results showed that this research has methodological limitations regarding sampling, statistical analysis, and formulation of items (e.g., lack of operationalization of constructs, ambiguity and unrealistic expectation regarding the knowledge of respondents), which compromise the legitimacy of its results. Future surveys conducted in Brazil in this field may benefit from the use of validated scales. This arti...

Gender and transgeneration: a (de)construction
This study analyzed the transgenerational transmission and maintenance of gender perspectives with use of semi-structured interviews with 10 young adults aged between 20 and 27 years. The new generations were found to re-signify issues transmitted by their families aiming for a fair society, although the perceived changes in family dynamics are not enough to reflect on the deconstruction of historical and cultural paradigms. Although these individuals have a critical social stance and seek to deconstruct stereotypical and prejudiced gender values, their discourses showed that political, economic and social inequalities sti...
