This paper seeks to understand and explore the ideas of risk and excess as sociological categories of analysis. Taking as a heuristic example the grunge movement that began in Seattle in the mid-1980s – and in particular the band Soundgarden – this digression seeks to connect the stylistic, performative and musical expressions of grunge from a complex set of social and cultural conditioning that are external to it. Operating from the perspective of cultural sociology, we will try to situate grunge within the broader framework of profound transformations experienced in the last two decades of the 20th century, describing the role of generational anxieties for culture.

This report describes the training experience with Community Health Agents (CHA) in the course "Caring for Conflicts and Violence Prevention in the Territories", which was based on Fiocruz/CE research on the impact of covid-19 and violence on the mental health and work of CHAs. With a theoretical-experiential approach, the training favored the ‘groupe sujet’, in which the members constitute themselves as agents of enunciation, desire and institutional creation, using dialogical methodologies such as Peacebuilding Circles (CCP), Nonviolent Communication (NVC) and Conflict Mediation (MC). In the training, various instruments were applied, such as writing and participant observation. The CHAs evaluated the course as relevant to their personal and professional development, with an impact on self-care, the ability to deal with conflicts and interpersonal relationships. The experience highlights the importance of permanent training aligned with the needs of the service as a strategy for strengthening and protecting health professionals face of the challenges of violence in daily life.

The 2019 social security reform and its regressive social impacts

2025-02-17T14:21:16-03:00

The article is a theoretical-bibliographic and documental research. The objective is to analyze the changes in social security that occurred during the Bolsonaro government. In Brazil, pension rights were the result of struggles by the Brazilian working class in search of a social security that protects citizens during their working lives and after their retirement. The Bolsonaro government's social security reform was carried out to serve the interests of financial capital by lowering the living conditions of the Brazilian working class and making access to a dignified retirement more difficult. The study shows that there was a regression in the rights that have been earned in 1988 in the Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil and postulates the need for a review of the social security reform that will enable the annulment of the negative points for workers.
