All classes will take place on the UERJ campus in Maracanã. Address: Rua São Francisco Xavier, 529, Maracanã, Rio de Janeiro, RJ. See below the list of elective courses for the second semester of 2024 taught by professors linked to CLAM/IMS/UERJ:
003 – Special Topics in Human Sciences and Health I
Theme: Maternities, families and reproductive governance
Professors: LAURA LOWENKRON and MARINA FISHER NUCCI
Codes: ME CHS – IMS037139
DO CHS – IMS038275
Credits: 3
Location: Room 6.005, Block E
Workload: 45 h
Class period: 08/08/2024 to 28/11/2024
Schedule: Thursday – 09:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Menu: The course aims to address the issue of the governance of reproduction, taking into account both its culturally imagined biological aspects (such as pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding) and those considered fundamentally social (such as care, parenting, mothering). Although reproduction, in its different connotations, has traditionally been associated with the intimate and private domain (of the body, the home, family relationships), the discussions presented throughout the course aim to highlight how reproductive bodies and practices have historically been the privileged targets of technologies of government, both from specialized knowledge in the field of health and from different forms of state regulation. In the first part of the course, we will discuss classical and black feminist discussions in order to intersect the debates on the themes of reproduction, maternity, family governance, governance and reproductive justice. In the second part, various modalities of what we are generically calling reproductive governance will be approached from a variety of themes, such as: the removal of family power, medical regulation of the maternal body, reproductive health, the science of parenthood, the humanization of childbirth, imprisoned maternities, state violence and transparency. Special emphasis will be given to dissertations, theses and other recent bibliographical productions by researchers from the Transnational Research Network on Deprived, Violated and Raped Maternities (REMA).
No prerequisites.
002 – Special Topics in Human Sciences and Health I
Theme: Body and subject: new epistemologies in the social sciences
Professors: JANE ARAUJO RUSSO, SERGIO LUÍS CARRARA, LUIZ FERNANDO DIAS DUARTE
Codes: ME CHS – IMS037139
DO CHS – IMSO38275
Credits: 3
Location: Room 7.003 Block E
Workload: 45 h
Class period: from 14/08/2024 to 20/11/2024
Schedule: Wednesday – 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Objectives: The aim of this course is to critically analyze the proposals contained in the “new epistemologies” which, implying important transformations in the field of social sciences, have significantly altered the way we research and talk about the body and the subject, with a strong impact on collective health. We are referring to the current move away from the very idea of representation or worldview, in the name of affirming the existence of different worlds and, therefore, different ontologies. This “ontological turn” corresponds to a praise of fluidity, flow, process, an incessant “coming to be”, from which the very conceptions of culture and society would tend to disappear.
