Clínica do autismo e das psicoses infantis ou como pensar a articulação psicanálise-educação no tratamento das "crianças-objeto"

In this article, the articulation of psychoanalysis / education is thought from the way like education - understood as the process of symbolic marks, which generates subjectivistic effects - is present in the psychoanalytic clinic for autistics and psychotic children. For such, the subject of the interpretation is thought in relation to the contact with the Other, in the way it happens in the autism and in psychosis.

THE ORIGINAL SIGNIFICANCE OF BI DISKS: INSIGHTS BASED ON LIANGZHU JADE BI WITH INCISED SYMBOLIC MOTIFS

This article discusses the symbolic markings incised on a small group of jade bi disks from the Neolithic Liangzhu Culture in southeastern China, now dispersed among museums all over the world. A close description of the objects and their incised motifs - which are, for the most part, diplayed with the center of the bi as the implied point of reference - is followed by an attempt at interpretation. It is found that these objects testify to early stages of development of cosmological concepts that remained important in Chinese culture during the Warring States and Han periods: the notion of a covering sky (gaitian) that revolves around a central axis, the cycle of the Ten Suns, and the use of an early form of the carpenter's square. These objects were handled by shamans who were the religious leaders of Liangzhu society and the transmitters of cosmological knowledge.

Les Sceaux De L'Oxus: Diversité De Formes Et Variabilité De Fonctions

AbstractGlyptics of the civilazition of the Oxus was an obvious anomaly because all macrotypes of seals characteristics (square, round, cylinder, compartmented) of the cultures of the Indus, the Arabic Gulf, Mesopotamia and Turkmenistan coexisted there. The author supposes that the Oxus seals were symbolic marks of status of an individual (together with luxurious metal axes), but not real administrative attributes. The diversity of forms of the Oxus seals was the result of the polyethnic character of the population which created civilization of the Oxus rather than the consequence of the cultural influence of its neighbours. According to the author, amazing scenes of tauromachy and some other motifs of the Oxus seals do not presuppose migration of ethnic groups from the Aegean and Syro-Hittite West. It is the result of exception from the vast corpus of artistic imagery of the epoch by the Oxus dwellers for the illustration of their native myths. The creators of the Oxus civilization usually added some local traits to the things they had adopted from their neighbours.

Interactive Measurement of Hierarchically Related Consumers’ Images

A new scaling technique was developed in the present work to investigate the image integration of consumers, taking advantage of the recent visual and object-oriented programming technology. Employed visual stimuli were the logos (and the accompanying symbolic marks, if any) of the four leading cosmetic makers, the logos of their brands and the photos of their product packages of skincare items targeted at young females. 19 females subjects evaluated the stimuli with respect to four, five and eight items for the corporate (Clmg), the brand (Blmg) and the package (Plmg) images. The image inheritance was analyzed on the internally anchored items. In addition, external anchores were employed to facilitate the Kansei processing in part of the Bimg evaluations. The major findings included the contrasting patterns exhibited by two makers both in the maker/brand discrepancies and in the image inheritances. Among the important issues to be considered in the future work are the mediation effect of the matching task and the class structure of evaluative items like those employed in AHP.

Socialising landscapes: the long‐term implications of signs, symbols and marks on the land

The long‐term implications of marking landscapes with rock paintings, engravings and stone arrangements are explored. In the process many of the ways in which humans socialise landscapes are outlined. It is argued that the development of rock art throughout the world is a reflection of an increased sense of ’ethnic’ identity among human groups as well as a concern for communicating knowledge visually. It is also contended that the ’dawn of art’, or more precisely, the beginnings of the symbolic marking of the landscape is reflective of the concept of time having acquired increased importance among anatomically modern humans about 40,000 years ago. In other words, the marking of landscapes with stone is illustrative of a group of people being concerned not only about a ’present’ but also a ’past’ and a ’future’. The nature of time is not static, however, and changes in marking behaviour can be correlated to changes in the notion of time within particular societies. Regional examples are drawn from a diverse range of societies but particular emphasis is placed on the Northern Territory of Australia.

Overcoming Absence: Contemporary German Women's Literature (Part Two)

1. Group portrait without lady: the photograph depicts a group of men between the ages of 35 and 50 facing the camera. Their careless stance and clothing set this picture apart from similarly posed group photos in which heads of state or sporting clubs present their team of men (Mannschaft) to the public. body language and gestures of these men differentiate them from a triumphant-looking football team or cabinet members striking a confident and upright pose. men in this picture can immediately be identified as intellectuals. They were participants in the symposium on literature entitled Steirischer Herbst (Styrian Autumn): sixteen writers, critics and professors altogether.' If the photo were seen without the accompanying newspaper article on the Steirischer Herbst, it would be difficult to guess what year the picture was taken. It presumably comes from the 1970s or 80s. Although the dress of intellectuals is only slightly affected by the changing modes of fashion, one could rule out the 1950s and 60s since most intellectuals were still wearing ties at that time (in the picture only two can be spotted). This group appears completely untouched by the women's movement which has otherwise left at least its symbolic mark on the public sphere. theme of Steirischer Herbst 1983, the photo's origin, was The Return of the Same which focused on a discussion about the outlook of old and new myths in German-speaking culture.2 fact that this was a purely male event added an unintentionally ironic connotation to the choice of topic: the return of the same as the unbroken representation of the male cultural establishment. Like father, like son!

Scanning: recent experience in the USA

What has been the progress of scanning in the United States over the past few years? After initial difficulties, things now seem to be picking up. Just over 8,000 manufacturing companies are using a UPC identity number; symbol marking has increased to around 90% of grocery volume; and the number of scanner‐equipped stores has now reached about 800. In this paper presented to the recent CIES Congress in Montreal, Thomas Wilson, in his comprehensive review of the scanning situation to date, suggests that American retailers are now “on the brink of a second phase of UPC development, the soft savings revolution.”

MAGAZINES, SUPERMARKETS, AND THE UNIVERSAL PRODUCT CODE

The Universal Product Code (UPC) symbol is appearing on mass circulation periodicals sold in supermarkets. A description of the UPC and comments about magazine sales in supermarkets are presented. The relationship between the UPC, supermarkets, and periodicals and serials sold in supermarkets is illustrated with a short survey taken in a college town during August and September 1976. As a coding system already utilizing the ISBN in the symbol marking ofpaperbacks, the relationship of the UPC to serials may also h u e an impact upon serials librarianship.
