Enorme desafio, o de se propor alguma reflexão sobre realidades – no plural! -, inteligência artificial, passado, presente e futuro da humanidade em todos os sentidos que queiramos dar a esse termo. Afinal, o que é “ser humano”? Isso, para nem resvalar na grande questão que nos acompanha: “o que é o
We live in spasms. This statement could be made, it is almost certain, by any professional who works in the field of cultural heritage preservation in Brazil. After January 8, 2023, February 5, 2025 can be a new golden opportunity to put yourself in the spotlight
I like to think about expressions that I usually say. To what extent they are, in fact, true or, at least, to what extent they are based on something rational.

Comme l'exprimait un jour à sa façon le peintre Francis Picabia: "Notre tête est ronde pour permettre à la pensée de changer de direction". Maintaining a blog is not something trivial – if the page is yours, you own it, you determine how often you will keep in touch with your
O mundo contemporâneo, globalizado, repleto de inovações tecnológicas, em que a vida parece andar mais rápido do que percebemos ou podemos acompanhar, forjou o homem pós-moderno, estressado, que vive pressões sociais, econômicas e estruturais; um homem que passa por crises diversas, tanto em suas relações pessoais como culturais e,
Since the end of February, we have been informed about the rescue of workers in situations analogous to slavery, particularly in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. Let it be clear, however, that it is not only in this state that this intolerable and unacceptable practice occurs. However, this time, we went

💜 #8M Day to reflect, to celebrate progress and achievements, and to reinforce the search and dialogue for: pay parity, gender equality, the end of femicide, more women in Science, politics, etc. We continue to face the challenge of talking and advancing on these issues in different spaces and with different audiences: from all
