  Novas substâncias psicoativas – políticas públicas e investig(ação)

  Propõe-se com esta conferência um envolvimento e discussão institucional que se revele determinante na construção de uma resposta nacional para o fenómeno das drogas “legais”. O CNJ considera muito importante abrir canais de comunicação institucional onde se promova uma reflexão política, académica e empírica para encontrar metodologias de intervenção eficazes de combate ao consumo destas novas substâncias, com particular atenção no consumo entre os jovens portugueses. Esta conferência é organizada pelo Centro de Investigação e Estudos de Sociologia do Instituto Universitário de Lisboa (ISCTE-IUL), em parceria com o Conselho Nacional de Juventude (CNJ), Instituto do Desporto e Juventude, I.P (IPDJ,I.P.) e Serviço de Intervenção nos Comportamentos Aditivos e nas Dependências (SICAD).

One hundred years after the publication of Totem and Taboo (1913), this two-day seminar seeks to address the influence of Freud’s legacy in contemporary anthropological thought. It also aims to explore the new interface between the two disciplines, namely through the recent work produced on kinship and on the cognitive approaches to the study of religion.

  Music, poetry and the brain

  It is indisputable that, with his operas, Wagner introduced profound new insights relating music, language (poetry) and emotion. It is widely consensual that with his dramas, Wagner intended to explore human mind and behaviour with the power of music. In fact, never before was music so systematically used as a tool for describing and interpreting facts, events, beliefs, desires, intentions, memories and emotions. In the last decades, there has been much advance in the understanding of the cerebral basis of music and its relationships with brain mechanisms of language, cognition and emotion. In short, music has also been shown to be a powerful pathway to understand human mind and behaviour...
