Um Game Para a Psicologia Escolar: Proposições Teórico-Metodológicas Para a Construção De Um Artefato Lúdico-Educativo

“…Se a expressão e a produção das diferenças consistem na própria matéria que sustenta nosso argumento pela adoção da abordagem simétrica, resta-nos sistematizar as estratégias que pretendemos utilizar para garantirmos o respeito ontológico às entidades que associamos ao composto sociotécnico que denominamos jogo educativo. Seguindo as orientações de Latour (2007) e das autoras Vinciane Despret (2004) e Isabelle Stengers (2000), podemos pensar em uma epistemologia política que não só reconheça o caráter performático da produção de qualquer conhecimento mas que também procure fazer valer o princípio de simetria que defendemos como básico para o estudo das redes.…”

From the Culture of Matter to the Matter of Culture: Feminist Explorations of Nature and Science

“…For instance, Evelyn Fox Keller (1983) suggests that Barbara McClintock's Feeling for the Organism was prompted by her greater openness to alternative accounts of genetics, because she 'escaped some of the psychosocial indoctrination received by her male peers' (Hawkins 1998: 163). The argument that women approach nature and science questions from a fundamentally different perspective is particularly distilled in theories of science as social knowledge, and raises the question of the possibility of a distinct female epistemology of science (see Hankinson-Nelson and Nelson 1996;Hubbard 1989;Longino 1990;Schiebinger 1989;Stengers 1997Stengers , 2000. Again, these analyses emphasise the social, political and economic features of women in science, rather than the actual material objects that women in science study.…”

“…For Irigaray, the potential of this alternate logic, non-logic as it were, is the potential of a feminine epistemology. Others (Stengers, 1997(Stengers, , 2000 reject any notion of a 'feminine science' and criticize the current feminist focus on the culture of matter as the predominant intervention into scientific enquiry (Wilson, 1996(Wilson, , 2000.…”

The Corporeal Generosity of Maternity

“…In other words, I want to call attention to the very real material processes of maternity as well as those feminist analyses that highlight maternity as a social enterprise (see, for example Stearns, 1999;Bailey, 2001;Martin, 2003). As such, this discussion is of feminist concern because it considers the constitution of individual autonomy, the conception of relationships as systems of exchange, and attends to a broader concern with the use of matter to inform social analyses and joins an increasing number of feminist social scientific analyses that draw upon biological data in order to explore embodiment (see Kirby, 1997Kirby, , 1999Bray and Colebrook, 1998;Roberts, 1999;Colebrook, 2000;Stengers, 2000;Wilson, 1998Wilson, , 2000Wilson, , 2004Barad, 2001;Kinsman, 2001;special issue of Hypatia, 2004).…”
