Gênero e história da educação: itinerários de Rebecca Rogers

Resumo Professora, desde 2006, de um dos mais prestigiados departamentos de educação franceses (Université Paris Descartes), Rebecca Rogers tem sua trajetória acadêmica marcada pelos estudos sobre mulheres e gênero, traçados sempre na relação com a história da educação. Nascida nos Estados Unidos da América, fez sua carreira na Europa, em particular na França. Cursou o doutorado na École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, sob a orientação de Dominique Julia. Iniciou a atividade docente na University of Iwoa. Em 1994, obteve uma posição na Université de Strasbourg como maitre de conference. Em 2015, assumiu a presidência da International Standing Conference for the History of Education (ISCHE), sociedade científica internacional de maior relevância na área de história da educação. Sua formação e trânsito na arena educativa, bem como as escolhas teóricas e metodológicas são abordadas nesta entrevista, que se estende ainda sobre as relações tramadas com pesquisadoras brasileiras em projetos realizados nas Faculdades de Educação da Universidade Estadual de Campinas - UNICAMP e Universidade de São Paulo. Os debates atuais sobre gênero emergentes na esfera pública na França e os desafios enfrentados pela investigação histórico-educativa, seja na dimensão de uma história transnacional da educação, seja na consolidação de um campo de pesquisa também emergem no discurso de Rebecca Rogers. Este rol de temáticas torna a entrevista densa em problematizações, abrindo um leque de interrogações que instigam o leitor na sua reflexão acerca do cenário político e acadêmico internacional.

Chantal M. Boulanger: Exploring the Endothelium.

The scientific evolution of Chantal M. Boulanger, PharmD, PhD, has taken her from a French village’s one-room schoolhouse to the Mayo Clinic to a leadership position at the Institut National de la Sante et de la Recherche Medicale (Inserm) in Paris. Chantal M. Boulanger While completing pharmacy studies at the Universite de Lorraine, Boulanger leapt at the chance to spend summers in research laboratories with the aim of pursuing a PhD. Her molecular pharmacology doctoral work, on the intracellular mechanisms associated with vascular smooth muscle relaxation, was conducted at the Universite de Strasbourg in the program headed by Jean-Claude Stoclet. Boulanger’s research career has focused on the role of endothelial cells as a key player in vascular disease development and as a target of cardiovascular risk factors. While she was a research associate at the University Hospital of Basel, Switzerland, Boulanger and T.F. Luscher demonstrated that production of the vasoconstrictor endothelin is downregulated by nitric oxide1 and stimulated by oxidized lipids2 in isolated endothelium, findings that were later confirmed in intact animals and provided new pharmacological targets to address endothelial dysfunction. In a change that required a major shift in laboratory techniques and models, since 2000 Boulanger’s research team at Inserm has investigated the extracellular microvesicles produced by endothelial cell activation. The team demonstrated that circulating microvesicles from patients with myocardial infarction triggered endothelial dysfunction, even in angiographically normal arteries.3 They identified microvesicles in human atherosclerotic plaque as potent prothrombogenic mediators that might represent a major determinant of plaque neovascularization and vulnerability.4 Later, they showed that circulating endothelial microvesicles were associated with cardiovascular and metabolic risk factors in participants in the Framingham offspring study who had no history of cardiovascular disease.5 Currently, Boulanger’s research addresses the regulation of micro-RNA packaging in extracellular vesicles and resulting …

Gated Systems for Multifunctional Optoelectronic Devices

Paolo Samori (1971) is Distinguished Professor (PRCE) and director of the Institut de Science et d’Ingenierie Supramoleculaires (ISIS) of the Universite de Strasbourg where he is also head of the Nanochemistry Laboratory. He is also Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (FRSC) and junior member of the Institut Universitaire de France (IUF). He obtained a Laurea in Industrial Chemistry at University of Bologna in 1995. In 2000 he received his Ph.D. in Chemistry from the Humboldt University Berlin (Prof. J.P. Rabe). He was permanent research scientist at Istituto per la Sintesi Organica e la Fotoreattivita of the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche of Bologna and Visiting Professor at ISIS. His research activity is focussed on applications of scanning probe microscopies beyond imaging, hierarchical self-assembly of hybrid architectures at surfaces, supramolecular electronics, and the fabrication of organic-based multifunctional nanodevices.

Sur le sens des proverbes

Georges Kleiber (Universite de Strasbourg) : On the Semantics of Proverbs Is there any hope of building an adequate semantics for proverbs ? The aim of this paper is to give a positive answer to this question. It is indeed possible to define what a proverb is, semantically speaking. Our characterization lies on two basic claims. The first is that a proverb has the status of a sentential denomination with generic import. The second shows that his semantic structure always conveys an implication which relies two situations involving humans. We can thus predict the constraints which must be satisfied by a generic sentence to become a proverb and, at the same time, explain the metaphorical character of certain proverbs and also the synecdochic mechanism in other proverbs.
