É inegável que nosso intelecto, nossa mente científica, tem proporcionado grandes conquistas. Ao mesmo tempo, porém, é alarmante o crescente número de diagnósticos dos vários transtornos mentais—ansiedade, depressão, etc.—entre outros males que não só atingem o indivíduo, mas também a coletividade. Teria nosso lema moderno, "querer é poder", perdido sua eficácia?

Em “Literatura e Sociedade”, o crítico e professor Antônio Candido escreveu sobre a relação de influências e transformações constantes entre autor, obra e público. Ou seja, nenhuma produção artística, sobretudo a literária, é feita ou existe no vácuo: ao contrário, surge em diálogo com seu tempo, reagindo ou exercendo efeitos sobre ele.

O período da infância e adolescência são cenário de elementos, afetos e transformações que definem e influenciam a formação da subjetividade deste ser em elaboração. Para além disso, há todo o processo de socialização e educação que também exercerá pressão sobre gostos, inclinações, expectativas - seja daqueles ao redor sobre a criança ou adolescente, seja dele sobre si mesmo.

O termo tekoá se refere, num primeiro momento, a uma aldeia do povo tupi-guarani, mas, para além disso, diz respeito sobretudo ao modo de existir. A ideia se expande para além do território em direção ao que se convencionou chamar de ética na tradição do pensamento ocidental. O curso apresenta as ideias e propostas dessa tradição a respeito da relação humana com a natureza e com si mesma, sobretudo nas dinâmicas de diferenças, de poder, da vida em comum e da memória como catalisadora de conhecimento.

O que define nossa concepção atual a respeito de um funcionamento mental desejável e socialmente aceitável? A que chamamos de "normal" (e será "normal" uma existência sem nenhuma "loucura")? O que é um "transtorno mental" (mental disorder)? O curso faz um diálogo entre psiquiatria, psicanálise e história da cultura para traçar um histórico dessa relação entre "loucura" e "normalidade", por vezes difusa e contraditória. Entre a idealização romântica e um certo higienismo médico...

Ainda hoje as ideias budistas são vistas com um olhar que varia entre a curiosidade e o espanto. De fato, as propostas e práticas que para nós oscilam entre a filosofia e a religião operam uma espécie de "conciliação" entre fé e razão na realidade ocidental. Sem considerar as influências das relações intelectuais com a linguagem, a lógica e outros ramos do

Este curso traz uma compilação de reflexões e ferramentas relacionadas ao tema da tomada de decisão, extraídas de diversas áreas do conhecimento. Da lógica à psicologia, da filosofia à teoria dos jogos, da economia à ciência da computação: como expoentes de campos tão diversos pensaram este grande dilema humano que é a necessidade de decidir, e que lições oferecem para nos ajudar nas escolhas do dia a dia.

Identidade e subjetividade são conceitos amplos, com implicações ainda mais extensas sobre a vida concreta - sobretudo num momento em que tais conceitos são questionados ou reelaborados sob lentes políticas e ideológicas. O curso parte destas ideias para tratar, com base na teoria psicanalítica, como se dá essa elaboração de uma "narrativa de si" e como ela afeta, para bem e mal, nossas relações com o mundo e os outros. O que é o desejo e como ele se constitui? De que formas esse eu se fortalece ou enfraquece? Essas e outras provocações serão abordadas ao longo deste curso.

"Recordar, Repetir e Elaborar" é o título de um texto de Freud, publicado em 1914, que trata destes três tempos essenciais da análise. Cem anos depois, como se dão estes processos frente às ambivalências do mundo contemporâneo? As experiências da memória, da ressignificação e da capacidade de sonhar (literal e metaforicamente) serão os temas desse curso, com reflexões provocadas por um dos textos seminais da psicanálise. Que tipo de futuro ou de projeto de vida são possíveis de serem construídos quando as próprias estruturas de suas fundações se encontram em xeque?

There’s a lot of noise out there about how to spend (and not spend) your hard-earned money.

This is the empowering approach Jen Smith and Jill Sirianni, hosts of the Frugal Friends podcast, want you to take to improve your spending habits. They believe you can value anything (yes, anything!), whether that’s a daily latte, fancy dinners out, or vacations. But, despite what social media is saying, you don’t value everything.

Free speech is indispensable on college campuses: allowing varied views and frank exchanges of opinion is a core component of the educational enterprise. But free speech does not mean a free-for-all. The First Amendment prohibits "abridging the freedom of speech," yet laws against perjury or bribery, for example, are still constitutional. In the same way, valuing freedom of speech does not stop a university from regulating speech when doing so is necessary for its educational mission. So where is the dividing line? How can we distinguish reasonable restrictions from impermissible infringement?

Too many of us focus on how we’re presenting, and don’t spend enough time thinking about what we’re presenting. The secret to memorable, polished speeches is to think more about the material you’re sharing.
