Morin's Complexity Research Articles

THE COMPLEXITY OF UNCERTAINTY IN EDUCATION

This article is the result of studies and research conducted in the discipline of Applied Methodology of Legal Research, more specifically the approach of the Morin Complexity Paradigm. As it is already applied to science, methodology, and also to education, which for Morin has always been his field of concern and research, UNESCO even asked him to systematize a set of reflections that would serve as a starting point to rethink the education of the new millennium, which is his work: The Seven Knowledges necessary for the education of the future. It will also be grafted some Brazilian thinkers like Pedro Demo with his ambivalences of knowledge and life, certainty and uncertainty, which resembles Morin in this approach. Paulo Freire more than anyone reminded us that no one teaches anyone, no one learns alone, we learn together. Also, as an example of how to do this in practice, José Pacheco with his Ponte School. Finally, remembered by Alain Touraine who needs a school of the subject to continue the search and struggle for recognition that encourages us Axel Honneth.

Initial reading instruction and Literacy: a reflection in the light of complexity

The research aims to reflect on Environmental Education in the context of initial reading instruction and literacy in light of Edgar Morin's complexity from a bibliographic research. The study presented here arose from a concern regarding how Environmental Education is developed in the school context, in view of a fragmentation of knowledge mainly linked to the natural sciences, in which political, social, ethical and cultural inherent aspects to the complexity of environmental education are diluted, establishing an abstract and reduced unity between society and nature. Through a bibliographic research of two works by Morin (2005; 2015) and the dialogue with other theoretical contributions, such as Araújo (2011); Mariotti (2013) and Lorenzetti (2020), we understand the urgent need to look at Environmental Education in its multiple facets, in an opening dialogue between the most varied areas of human knowledge, favoring teaching knowledge and pedagogical, political, social and environmental practices.

Os Arquivos à luz da complexidade tecnológica da era digital

Archives present a systemic organization of information that reflects human production and mirrors Edgar Morin's Complexity paradigm, but they are slow to adapt to the technological informationalparadigm of the digital age. In this article we analysehow Archives have managed to adapt to these new circumstances they face, as well as identify practices that can contribute to their social and cultural visibility. In this regard, obstacles were identified, which, we believe, must give rise to changes, both outside and within theseinstitutions. In our view, there are strategies that could be effective for resource managementandintegrating Archives into the current technological information-communication context, such as recruiting user participation, creating content, and re-establishingthese institutions as dynamic and accessible cultural centresof great interest to the community

Rethinking authenticity through complexity paradigm

This paper proposes an epistemological transition based on Edgar Morin's complexity paradigm to analyse authenticity in a complex tourism environment, avoiding fragmentation, and integrating relevant actors and relationships. The results show that storytelling is an important element of these tourism experiences, legitimising and unifying the authenticity of the experience and relating objects, social environment and individual experiences. The size of the tour groups and the rigidity of the itinerary were important elements for constructing authenticity. Tourists, service providers and government bodies all directly or indirectly participate as co-creators, making the perception of authenticity a constant negotiation between the elements of the experience and the actors involved in it.

Gerencia y responsabilidad social: construcción colectiva desde la complejidad y la acción comunicativa

El propósito de la investigación es interpretar las relaciones dialógicas que confrontan y complementan la Gerencia y la Responsabilidad Social, como proyecto de construcción colectiva. El enfoque cualitativo tomando como postura epistemológica de: la Teoría de la Complejidad de Morín (2005), sustentado en el principio dialógico, el recursivo y el hologramático que permite la unión del conocimiento de las partes con el conocimiento del todo; la Teoría de la Acción Comunicativa de Habermas (1987). Apoyada como opción metodológica en fundamentos fenomenológicos de Husserl (1962), fundamento ontológico de Heidegger (2003) y enfoque hermenéutico desde Gadamer (1993); esta triada de enfoques son la base para desplegar las plataformas filosóficas de la investigación. La investigación está organizada en cuatro etapas: la observación participante, el diálogo entre actores, interpretación y teorización. Se aplicó la entrevista en profundidad a los voceros (actores sociales), basada en guías y el análisis de documentoslegales; para sistematizar los datos en categorías a través del software ATLAS.ti. Los hallazgos permitieron construir la aproximación teórica, que evoca una gerencia emancipadora, definida como una unidad entramada de saberes y competencias de los líderes sociales, que se fundamenta en la responsabilidad con ellos mismos y su entorno, para el establecimiento de nuevas estructuras sociales voluntarias que compartan la visión holística, innovadora y humanizada.

A fusão de horizontes na análise textual discursiva

As discussões sobre metodologia têm se tornado muito presentes nos programas de pós-graduação. Este artigo foca a Análise Textual Discursiva - ATD e apresenta a partir da trajetória dos autores as formas como a metodologia foi conceituada e implementada por Roque Moraes. O artigo apresenta o movimento histórico do desenvolvimento do ATD a partir da Análise de Conteúdo em seu início e como, inspirada na Fenomenologia de Husserl, na Complexidade de Morin, tem se encaminhado para a Hermenêutica. Conhecer as teorias que sustentam a ATD possibilitará uma maior compreensão das formas como a ATD impacta o pesquisador e o desenvolvimento de pesquisas qualitativas. Uma estrutura conceitual é proposta para permitir aos pesquisadores descrever as condições de usos de DTA a partir de argumentos teóricos. Palavras-chave: Metodologia; Fenomenologia; Hermenêutica; Complexidade.

Estudos organizacionais e complexidade: Stacey e Morin

This theoretical essay aims to identify some approaches to the complexity of comparing contributions of internationally renowned authors as a reference in organizational studies, such as Stacey and Morin. In the literature that deals with the theme of complexity, many similar concepts are observed; several contributions of authors, some trained in natural sciences, others in the human sciences and philosophy. It is a theme that is recognized both inter and transdisciplinary, and it has been gaining pulse since the 1980's. The conclusion is that Stacey and Morin have significantly contributed to the understanding of the organizational process and the differences between their approaches can be understood by comparing their life experiences and academic training. Furthermore, it is evident that overtime Stacey supports the critical and broad approach advocated by Morin complexity. On the one hand, while Stacey remains in the social sciences, Morin articulates social sciences as well as biophysics and philosophy. Regarding existing disputes in the field of complexity studies, this comparison indicates an improvement from the perspective of complexity intelligence (Latin culture) over the angle of complex adaptive systems (Anglo - Saxon culture).

Autenticidade em Experiências de Turismo: proposição de um novo olhar baseado na Teoria da Complexidade de Edgar Morin

Este ensaio tem o objetivo de fornecer uma lente alternativa para interpretação do construto autenticidade no contexto das experiências turísticas. A revisão de literatura realizada apresenta os principais autores que tratam do tema e suas diferentes perspectivas a respeito de autenticidade, dentre estas a autenticidade objetiva, a construtivista e a existencial. A análise e reflexão dessas diferentes perspectivas oferecem as bases para a proposição da adoção de um solo epistemológico alternativo à interpretação da autenticidade nas experiências turísticas, que pode levar a uma melhor compreensão desse fenômeno. Assim, propõe-se que o Pensamento Complexo de Edgar Morin pode oferecer uma forma complementar para o entendimento da autenticidade no contexto do turismo, na medida em que pode permite ao pesquisador uma alternativa frente ao pensamento fragmentado tradicional que está atrelado a essa temática, e possibilitar reflexões a partir de uma visão mais holística do fenômeno. Essa discussão resultou em proposições, que são discutidas ao final deste trabalho.

Comprehensive and obstetric care in the Unified Health System (SUS): reflection in the light of Edgar Morin's complexity theory

Objective: To reflect on the comprehensive and obstetric care in the National Health System in the light of Edgar Morin's Complexity Theory. Method: Some ideas from French philosopher Edgar Morin, the Complexity Theory and some references from the health ministry were used to write this text. Result: The institutionalization and hegemony of the Cartesian model led to the segmentation of the human being and fragmentation of care and interfered with the achievement of comprehensive of obstetric care in the public health system. Conclusion: Delivery and birth care must consider the complex subject to be able to overcome the fragmented and interventionist Cartesian paradigm and achieve comprehensive of obstetric care in the public health system. Implications for practice: The search for a paradigm shift in obstetric care centered on user autonomy and integrated and humanized care favors the construction of practices that ensure comprehensive care to women.

COMPLEXITY IN NURSING EDUCATION: EXAMPLES OF THE PARADIGM

Edgar Morin proposed that knowledge construction is best enacted via a complex and circular approach between both the part and the whole, while never enacting a strictly reductionistic or strictly holistic approach. It is the ability to connect and unite the parts within the whole via a dynamic circular process between the parts and whole that frees us from fragmented knowledge and helps us to bridge the gap between our seemingly disparate-competing nursing paradigms. This article examines the benefits of utilizing Morin's complexity theory, the dialogical, and circular processes in creating a liberating structural framework or paradigm for nursing education.

EDGAR MORIN'S PARADIGM OF COMPLEXITY AND GÖDEL'S INCOMPLETENESS THEOREM

This article shows that in two respects, Gödel's incompleteness theorem strongly supports the arguments of Edgar Morin's complexity paradigm. First, from the viewpoint of the content of Gödel's theorem, the latter justifies the basic view of complexity paradigm according to which knowledge is a dynamic, unfinished process, and develops by way of self-criticism and self-transcendence. Second, from the viewpoint of the proof procedure of Gödel's theorem, the latter confirms the complexity paradigm's circular line of inference through which is formed the all-round knowledge of a concrete object.

A dor da criança e do adolescente com câncer: dimensões de seu cuidar

Enfocando a dor da criança/adolescente com câncer como um fenômeno complexo, este estudo tem por objetivo descrever as experiências dos profissionais de saúde envolvidos no cuidado dessa clientela nas hospitalizações e analisá-las, buscando fundamentação nas idéias acerca da complexidade de Edgar Morin. Os dados empíricos foram coletados mediante entrevistas, permitindo vislumbrar possibilidades, como a composição de equipes fixas integradas e o envolvimento da família no cuidado. Evidencia-se a necessidade de distinguir os múltiplos enfoques dos profissionais e compor uma unidade de cuidado em que esses enfoques sejam articulados através de um projeto comum, para atender ao cuidado das múltiplas dimensões da dor desses pacientes.
