 Como cenário preferencial da vivência da Paixão de Jesus Cristo, a cidade de Braga oferece-nos um dos mais vastos e interessantes repositórios de manifestaçõesassociadas à Semana Santa e à celebração pascal.Não são apenas as seculares procissões dos Passos e do Senhor Ecce Homo, completadas nas últimas décadas pela Procissão do Enterro e pela Procissão da Burrinha, que perfazem a imponência da quadra. As ruas vestem-se de roxoe perfumam-se de incenso, tal como os principais templos que continuama centralizar o exercício de práticas seculares.Na Sé Primaz decorrem as principais celebrações segundo o pendor de um costume litúrgico que reivindica identidade.Nos Congregados desprendem-se as espadas da imagem da Senhora das Dores,pioneira desta devoção em Portugal. Em sete igrejas se adora o sepulcro do Senhor.E no Domingoirrompe a alegria! As campainhas ouvem-se ao longe.Os foguetes estalam no ar. As portas das casas abrem-se e exibem a abundância primaveril.O Senhor ressuscitou! -------------------------------------------- As a preferential scenery for experiencing the Passion of Jesus Christ, Braga offers you one of the most comprehensive and interesting manifestations of the Holy Week and Paschal celebrations.The century old processions of the Passion of Our Lord, and of Our Lord Ecce Homo, together with the Procession of the Burial of Christ or the Procession of the Burrinha (little jenny) are not the only events to build the grandeur of the season. Streets are filled with purple, while the scent of incense pervades the air. The same happens inside the main temples, where ancient practices are still performed.The Cathedral holds the main celebrations, according to the rule of a liturgical custom that claims identity. At the Congregados Church, swords are withdrawn from the image of Our Lady of Sorrows, pioneer of this devotion in Portugal. Seven churches exhibit the sepulchre of Our Lord.And, when Sunday comes, joy fills the air!The chimes are heard from afar. Rockets crack in the sky.Houses with opened doors are a display of spring plentiness.The Lord has risen!

Educação Sociedade & Culturas 59 - Tecnologias digitais e educação escolar em contexto de pandemia (Covid-19)

14,00€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

receba amanhã

DISPONÍVEL

 A pandemia Covid-19, e a consequente exigência de isolamento social, causou efeitos avassaladores em todo o mundo e em todas as áreas da sociedade. No campo da educação, de acordo com relatórios da UNESCO (2020), mais de 1,5 bilhões de estudantes foram afetados/as pelo encerramento de escolas e universidades. Foi a maior interrupção na história da educação escolar (Engzell et al., 2020) e o recurso às tecnologias digitais tornou-se essencial para enfrentar as emergências da pandemia. Contudo, este número também contribui para, em coletivo, podermos fazer o que Cynthia Selin (2008) considera ser a produção de conhecimento antecipatório, prestando atenção ao modo como socialmente lidamos com acontecimentos disruptivos e de incerteza, mas sobretudo como nos podemos tornar cada vez mais capazes de contruir de forma colaborativa cenários futuros. Será este, talvez, um dos grandes estímulos deste número, o de como nos responsabilizamos pelo futuro possível para as próximas gerações, influenciando também as próprias respostas sociotécnicas.

How The World Really Works - A Scientist's Guide to Our Past, Present and Future

de Vaclav Smil

14,15€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

 * THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * We have never had so much information at our fingertips and yet most of us don't know how the world really works. This book explains seven of the most fundamental realities governing our survival and prosperity. From energy and food production, through our material world and its globalization, to risks, our environment and its future, How the World Really Works offers a much-needed reality check - because before we can tackle problems effectively, we must understand the facts. In this ambitious and thought-provoking book we see, for example, that globalization isn't inevitable and that our societies have been steadily increasing their dependence on fossil fuels, making their complete and rapid elimination unlikely. Drawing on the latest science and tackling sources of misinformation head on - from Yuval Noah Harari to Noam Chomsky - ultimately Smil answers the most profound question of our age: are we irrevocably doomed or is a brighter utopia ahead?

The Tipping Point - How Little Things Can Make A Big Difference

de Malcolm Gladwell

16,73€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

 THE TIPPING POINT is the biography of an idea, and the idea is quite simple. It is that many of the problems we face – from crime to teenage delinquency to traffic jams – behave like epidemics. They aren't linear phenomena in the sense that they steadily and predictably change according to the level of effort brought to bear against them. They are capable of sudden and dramatic changes in direction. Years of well-intentioned intervention may have no impact at all, yet the right intervention – at just the right time – can start a cascade of change. Many of the social ills that face us today, in other words, are as inherently volatile as the epidemics that periodically sweep through the human population: little things can cause them to 'tip' at any time and if we want to understand how to confront and solve them we have to understand what those 'Tipping Points' are. In this revolutionary new study, Malcolm Gladwell explores the ramifications of this. Not simply for politicians and policy-makers, his method provides a new way of viewing everyday experience and enables us to develop strategies for everything from raising a child to running a company.

Novacene - The Coming Age Of Hyperintelligence

de James Lovelock

14,15€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

 The creator of the Gaia hypothesis and the greatest environmental thinker of our time has produced an astounding new theory about the future of life on Earth. James Lovelock argues that the anthropocene - the age in which humans acquired planetary-scale technologies - is, after three centuries, coming to an end. A new age - the novacene - has already begun. New beings will emerge from existing artificial intelligence systems. They will think 10,000 times faster than we do and will regard us as we now regard plants. The cruel, violent machine takeover imagined by sci-fi writers will not happen: these hyper-intelligent beings will be as dependent on the health of the planet as we are. They will need the planetary cooling system of Gaia to defend from the increasing heat of the sun. Gaia depends on organic life. We will be partners in this project. It is crucial, Lovelock argues, that the intelligence of Earth survives and prospers. We are at present the only beings capable of understanding the cosmos, but he speculates that the novacene could be the beginning of a process that will see intelligence suffusing the entire cosmos. At the age 100, Lovelock has produced the most compelling work of his life.
