Neoliberalism and the Uberization of work

In the global context, the spread of the neoliberal paradigm in the brazilian labor market, driven by technological progress, intensifies the precariousness of work, with Uberization being a determining factor in the reconfigurations and challenges imposed on workers. This study aimed to understand Uberization, outlining its emergence and expansion through digital platforms, analyzing its impacts on different sectors of the labor market in Brazil. The research, characterized as a qualitative narrative review, encompassed works in the databases of Google Scholar and Scielo, using descriptors such as "Uberization," "work flexibility," "informalization," and "work precarization." In light of the literature, it is concluded that Uberization, resulting from the intersection of technological advancement and the neoliberal paradigm, enhances labor precarity, giving digital platforms a central role. This understanding is imperative for addressing the impacts on workers, requiring deep reflection, the formulation of public policies, and the implementation of social strategies.

Implementation of Social Strategies in Language Learning by Means of Moodle

The methodology of second language teaching has varied considerably in recent times. It has changed from mere translation and memorization of linguistic structures, which was carried out by learners of classical Latin and Greek, to constructivist learning, in which the student has to build structures with the help of the teacher, and above all, must develop and employ strategies throughout the process, leaving aside structural learning and memorization. There are many researchers who have studied learning strategies, for example, Brown (1994), Chesterfield & Chesterfield (1985), O'Malley & Chamot (1990), Oxford (1990), Tarone (1981), Thompson & Rubin (1982) and Wenden & Rubin (1987). In spite of the fact that there is not a universal concept of strategy, all of them agree that there are techniques used by students to facilitate learning. The strategies have been classified according to their characteristics in the following groups: metacognitive, cognitive, social and affective. In this study, we analyze the social strategies that a second language student employs using the Moodle e-learning platform. The reason why the use of social strategies have been studied within this virtual platform is that it was built around constructivist philosophy and with the aim of promoting cooperative learning, which is closely related to the use of social strategies. For this investigation, a group of students from the University of the Basque Country (UPV-EHU) was selected and a questionnaire developed bearing in mind four kinds of social strategies, namely, asking, cooperating, empathizing and practicing.

New Genre Public Art Education

“We live in a toxic world,” asserts Suzi Gablik in The Reenchantment of Art, “not just environmentally but spiritually.”1 For Gablik, remediation lies in the paradigm of art as participation, whereby art making is redefined in terms of “social relatedness and ecological healing, so that artists will gravitate towards different activities, attitudes, and roles than those that operated under the aesthetics of modernism.”2 In Mapping the Terrain: New Genre Public Art, Suzanne Lacy terms such work new genre public art and characterizes it as “visual art that uses both traditional and nontraditional media to communicate and interact with a broad diversified audience about issues directly relevant to their lives.”3 Differentiating new genre public art from what has been called public art, Lacy distinguishes the former by the level of engagement shared by artist and audience, the propensity for attacking media boundaries, and the effective implementation of social strategies.
