  IV International Conference of Myth Criticism

  Myth and Emotions

  Along with rational logic there is an emotional logic, responsible for many actions that we carry out. Myth Criticism tends to tackle mythical stories from a structural, social and historical perspective. However, it often ignores the emotional component. It seems as if the affective dimension, particularly active in our contemporary society, is not considered relevant in the studies of mythology. The Conference will examine the function undertaken by emotions in the structure of mythical stories and in the processes of mythification of characters and historical events. The object of the study will focus on ancient, medieval and modern myths in contemporary literature and art (since 1900).

  The Predatory Museum

  39th annual International Committee for Museology (ICOFOM) symposium

  Have visitors ever wondered how museums acquire the wonderful things they present to the enquiring public? It is certain that some do, but how many would see the museum as a predator?  Would they ever recognize the museum activity of acquiring the valued collections that are put on display as the result of a predatory undertaking? It is true that museums are discerning but eager recipients of gifts offered by individuals who cross their threshold and who are willing to donate or bequeath their treasured possessions to their local museum. These ongoing acts of charity aside, museums have other avenues of collection-building which they explore and have done so since their inception.

  Sexuality(ies) and citizenship(s)

  A  Revista Ibero-americana de Saúde e Cidadania/Iberoamerican publica uma edição especial sobre Sexualidade(s) e Cidadania(s). Os trabalhos devem abordar a importância da sexualidade na sociedade e na conceituação e definição de cidadania. Este número temático aborda a importância da visibilidade da diversidade sexual, a capacitação das diferenças, das minorias sociais e sexuais, e a necessidade de criar, projetar e estabelecer políticas sociais e de saúde pública que melhorem a situação social da diversidade sexual. Diversidade sexual e  cidadania são dois conceitos que fazem parte do desenvolvimento educacional e social de forma global e diversificada. Devem, por isso, ser analisados de forma multidisciplinar. Daí que se  pretenda uma abordagem das ciências da saúde, das ciências sociais e humanas e dos estudos de género das realidades sociais decorrentes de ambos os conceitos.
