Digital activism about gay fatherhood on Instagram: male homoparenting in the picture. / Ativismo digital sobre paternidade gay no Instagram: a homoparentalidade masculina em cena.

In contemporary Brazil, the number of male fathers taking care of their sons and daughters and the initiatives to produce content about fatherhood on Instagram have been significant. This article aims to analyze the concepts that support the digital activism of homoparenting on Instagram, based on gender studies with men. To this end, a qualitative study was conducted using the life narrative method in a digital environment. The results were analyzed and divided into the following sections: parenting project, personal experience of fatherhood, articulation with LGBT political agenda when parenthood becomes a "business", and haters, criticism, and adverse reactions. It was concluded that the reflection on the experience of fatherhood/masculinity itself is crossed by the social marker of the difference in sexual orientation and the activism for rights that sustain content production. Thus, the uniqueness of each fatherhood is highlighted since the fact of being gay constructs the fatherhood experience for each man. Despite the initiatives brought forth in this study, changes are still in progress, as rights activism coexists with the advancement of conservative forces, which limit the expressions of sexual and gender otherness.

No Brasil contemporâneo tem sido expressivo tanto o número de homens-pais assumindo o cuidado de seus filhos e filhas, quanto das iniciativas de produção de conteúdo sobre paternidades no Instagram. Este artigo visa analisar as concepções que sustentam o ativismo digital da homoparentalidade no Instagram, a partir dos estudos de gênero com homens. Para tal, realizou-se um estudo qualitativo em ambiência digital, utilizando o método das narrativas de vida. Os resultados foram analisados e divididos nas seguintes seções: projeto de parentalidade; experiência pessoal de paternidade; articulação de agenda política LGBT; quando a paternidade vira um "negócio"; e haters, críticas e reações negativas. Conclui-se que a reflexão sobre a própria experiência de paternidade/masculinidade, atravessada pelo marcador social da diferença orientação sexual e o ativismo por direitos que sustentam a produção de conteúdo. Assim, ressalta-se a singularidade de cada paternidade, pois o fato de ser gay constrói a experiência de paternidade particular para cada homem. Apesar das iniciativas expostas, mudanças ainda são incipientes, visto que o ativismo por direitos coexiste com o avanço de forças conservadoras, que limitam as expressões das alteridades sexuais e de gênero.

Feminism and Capitalism under the Nuclear Cloud & Barbie.

The Warner Brothers/Mattel movie Barbie is meant to be about feminism and capitalism in complicated, comical, and nuanced ways. It mostly succeeds in its dual purpose of comedy and inspiration. The doll's origin in 1959 places her and her consort, Ken, squarely in the context of the Cold War, although neither the movie nor the doll's long and successful marketing history acknowledges anything outside the sunny world of Barbie Land. The nuclear shadow does affect the movie's reception, however, in the form of international protests over the dashed lines scrawled on a supposed "World Map" in one scene. For nations in and around the South China Sea, the dashed lines evoke the specter of war in a nuclear age over claims to territorial sovereignty. Yet director Greta Gerwig's film is a runaway success, the first film solo directed by a woman to gross more than a billion dollars and counting.

"Modernism with a Soul": Designing and Building Communities for Corporate and Civic Life.

This essay explores how film, feature and documentary, can offer a new perspective on modernist architecture, industrial design, and urban planning. Through the lens of two young directors, Kogonada and Davide Maffei, it traces the histories of two twentieth-century company towns: Ivrea, Italy, headquarters of Italian business machine giant Olivetti, and Columbus, Indiana, U.S.A., home to Cummins Inc., a global leader in diesel engine design and manufacturing. Adriano Olivetti and J. Irwin Miller shared the conviction that modernist architecture and design had a decisive role to play not just in the economic health of their respective firms but in the civic health of their surrounding communities. These companies have long abandoned the corporate idealism of their founding patrons. In film, Ivrea and Columbus have become architectural time capsules that raise important questions about the transformative power of architecture and design in the face of an increasingly competitive global economy.

Nuclear Imaginaries and Power in Oppenheimer.

Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer is in awe of physics and the power it can bestow. Its central character is both mythic and human, and the film critiques and constructs the mythology surrounding him. The film presents science and technology as the individualized work of masculine genius, though it is ultimately more interested in nuclear weapons as political objects than as technological ones. Its nuclear imaginaries contain personal anxieties and stunning spectacle but also forget the nuclear uncanny and the human scale of nuclear weapons.

Neural signatures of shared subjective affective engagement and disengagement during movie viewing.

When watching a negative emotional movie, we differ from person to person in the ease with which we engage and the difficulty with which we disengage throughout a temporally evolving narrative. We investigated neural responses of emotional processing, by considering inter-individual synchronization in subjective emotional engagement and disengagement. The neural underpinnings of these shared responses are ideally studied in naturalistic scenarios like movie viewing, wherein individuals emotionally engage and disengage at their own time and pace throughout the course of a narrative. Despite the rich data that naturalistic designs can bring to the study, there is a challenge in determining time-resolved behavioral markers of subjective engagement and disengagement and their underlying neural responses. We used a within-subject cross-over design instructing 22 subjects to watch clips of either neutral or sad content while undergoing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Participants watched the same movies a second time while continuously annotating the perceived emotional intensity, thus enabling the mapping of brain activity and emotional experience. Our analyses revealed that between-participant similarity in waxing (engagement) and waning (disengagement) of emotional intensity was directly related to the between-participant similarity in spatiotemporal patterns of brain activation during the movie(s). Similar patterns of engagement reflected common activation in the bilateral ventromedial prefrontal cortex, regions often involved in self-referenced evaluation and generation of negative emotions. Similar patterns of disengagement reflected common activation in central executive and default mode network regions often involved in top-down emotion regulation. Together this work helps to better understand cognitive and neural mechanisms underpinning engagement and disengagement from emotionally evocative narratives.

Theory of mind in chronic migraine with medication overuse assessed with the MASC.

Theory of Mind (ToM) is the ability to infer one's own and others' mental states. Growing research indicates that ToM is impaired in Chronic Migraine with Medication Overuse (CM + MO). However, the research in this field has been conducted using static scenario-based tasks, often failing to test mentalization in everyday situations and measuring only performance accuracy. We filled this gap by administering the Movie for the Assessment of Social Cognition (MASC) to subjects with CM + MO compared to episodic migraine (EM). This test allows us to assess both affective and cognitive ToM and which, in addition to being accurate, also analyzes the type of error in attribution of mental states, distinguishing between hypo-mentalization and hyper-mentalization. Thirty patients suffering from CM + MO and 42 from EM were enrolled. Results showed that CM + MO patients were less accurate in mental state attribution than EM. In addition, compared to EM, CM + MO individuals were more impaired in the affective ToM dimensions and committed more errors of hypo-mentalization. In conclusion, the application of MASC in patients with CM + MO allowed for the detection of an alteration in their ability to correctly draw conclusions about other people's mental states. This latter contributes critically to appropriate social reactions and also, possibly, to satisfactory social interactions.

Multimodal single-neuron, intracranial EEG, and fMRI brain responses during movie watching in human patients.

We present a multimodal dataset of intracranial recordings, fMRI, and eye tracking in 20 participants during movie watching. Recordings consist of single neurons, local field potential, and intracranial EEG activity acquired from depth electrodes targeting the amygdala, hippocampus, and medial frontal cortex implanted for monitoring of epileptic seizures. Participants watched an 8-min long excerpt from the video "Bang! You're Dead" and performed a recognition memory test for movie content. 3 T fMRI activity was recorded prior to surgery in 11 of these participants while performing the same task. This NWB- and BIDS-formatted dataset includes spike times, field potential activity, behavior, eye tracking, electrode locations, demographics, and functional and structural MRI scans. For technical validation, we provide signal quality metrics, assess eye tracking quality, behavior, the tuning of cells and high-frequency broadband power field potentials to familiarity and event boundaries, and show brain-wide inter-subject correlations for fMRI. This dataset will facilitate the investigation of brain activity during movie watching, recognition memory, and the neural basis of the fMRI-BOLD signal.

A Lotus or a Dragon? - The orientalization and fetishization of Asian women's bodies. / Um Lótus ou um Dragão? - a orientalização e fetichização dos corpos das mulheres Asiáticas.

This article stems from interviews conducted with Chinese women residing in Lisbon, aged 18-34, during the initial phase of fieldwork (2021/2022). As an outcome of my Anthropology Ph.D. project, the focus here is on comprehending the perception of Asian women within the realm of everyday life as fetishized entities and how they persist in (re)shaping their identities. By primarily examining visual "yellow fever" depictions (in Hollywood cinema through films like "The World of Suzie Wong", "Madame Butterfly", "Miss Saigon", and the "Year of the Dragon", along with interracial Pornography), I endeavor to delve into the impact of "race", "sexual fetishization", and the ubiquitous propagation of stereotypical imagery on the lives of the individuals I engage with.

Este artigo provém das entrevistas realizadas com mulheres Chinesas residentes em Lisboa, com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e os 34 anos, no decorrer da primeira fase do trabalho de campo (2021/2022). Resultante do meu projeto de Doutoramento em Antropologia aqui busco compreender como mulheres asiáticas são observadas na experiência do quotidiano enquanto organismos fetichizados e como seguem (re)construindo as suas identidades. Percorrendo essencialmente representações visuais da "yellow fever" (o cinema de Hollywood em filmes como "O Mundo de Suzie Wong", "Madame Butterfly", "Miss Saigon" e "Year of the Dragon" e a pornografia inter-racial) procuro explorar como a "raça", a "fetichização sexual" e as imagens estereotipadas exaustivamente disseminadas, afetam a vida das minhas interlocutoras.

Suicidal Behavior in Nepali motion pictures of three decades (1990-2020): A content analysis.

BACKGROUND: Assessment of the depiction of suicidal behavior in motion pictures would reveal the social representation of suicide that would foster suicide prevention in a country. OBJECTIVES: We aimed to assess how suicidality has been depicted in Nepali movies by scrutinizing their contents against the sociodemographic checklist and WHO media guidelines for suicidal reporting. METHODS: This is a narrative quantitative analysis of suicidal behavior portrayals in the Nepali motion pictures that are publicly and freely accessible. RESULTS: Overall, out of the 573 scrutinized movies, we found ten movies consisting of 11 characters (i.e., the prevalence is 1.75%) showing suicidal behavior. The majority of suicidal behavior was seen in males 6 (54.5%), and the majority of attempters were students 3 (27.3%) or homemakers 2 (18.2%). Suicidal behavior was mostly observed in unmarried people 6 (54.5%). Hanging was the most prevalent method (45.5%), and home (36.4%) and public places (36.4%) were equally the most frequent places of attempt. The consequential risk factors for the attempts were found to be marital problems/premarital affairs (50%), followed by unfulfilled demand/conflict (30%). While all 11 items depicted the method and place of the attempt, two also depicted the complete scene of the attempt. One item used language that normalized suicide as a constructive solution to the problem. None of the pictures publicized any mental health messages or educated the public about suicide prevention. CONCLUSIONS: The minimal adherence of the Nepali motion pictures on the depictions of suicidality with WHO media guidelines indicates urgent need to create awareness among the Nepali film fraternity.

El banquete humano. A propósito de Hannibal Lecter y el canibalismo. El silencio de los corderos (1991) de Jonathan Demme / The human banquet. About Hannibal Lecter and cannibalism. The Silence of the Lambs (1991) by Jonathan Demme

El dragón rojo (1981) de Thomas Harris es la carta de presentación del perverso psiquiatra Hannibal Lecter, un psicópata asesino que brilla singularmente en el firmamento de los homicidas más abyectos de la historia del cine. Esta colección se completó con la publicación de El silencio de los corderos (1988), Hannibal (1999) y Hannibal: El origen del mal (2006), hasta ahora su última secuela. Fuente de inspiración cinematográfica, la saga se inició con la galardonada El silencio de los corderos (1991) de Jonathan Demme, continuada por Hannibal (2001) de Ridley Scott, El dragón rojo (2002) de Brett Ratner y Hannibal: El origen del mal (2007) de Peter Webber, si bien además existe una primera adaptación de la novela El dragón rojo titulada Hunter/Cazador de hombres (1986) de Michael Mann, donde los agentes del FBI se enfrentan con el temible asesino en serie Dr. Hannibal Lecktor (Brian Cox). Asimismo, el escritor y productor estadounidense Bryan Fuller creó la serie televisiva Hannibal (2013-2015), 39 episodios en los que el actor danés Mads Mikkelsen encarna al perverso antropófago. Independiente de sus connotaciones antropológicas, morales y culturales, la mayor parte de las conductas de canibalismo están relacionadas con trastornos psicóticos, como por ejemplo la esquizofrenia paranoica, cuando estos enfermos asesinan y se comen parte de los cuerpos de sus víctimas dentro de sus cuadros delirantes patológicos.(AU)

The Red Dragon (1981) by Thomas Harris is the introduction of the perverse psychiatrist Hannibal Lecter, a murdeous psychopath who shines singularly in the firmament of the most heinous murderers in the history of cinema. This collection was completed with the publication of The Silence of the Lambs (1988), Hannibal (1999) and Hannibal: The Origin of Evil (2006), until now its last sequel. A source of cinematographic inspirations, the saga began with the Oscar-winning The Silence of the Lambs (1991) by Jonathan Demme, followed by Hannibal (2001) by Ridley Scott, The Red Dragon (2002) by Brett Rainer, and Hannibal: The Origin of Evil (2007) by Peter Webber, although there is also a first adaptation of the novel The Red Dragon titled Manhunter (1986) by Michael Mann, where FBI agents confront the fearsome serial killer Dr. Hannibal Lecktor (Bryan Cox). Likewise, the American writer and producer Bryan Fuller created the television series Hannibal (2013-2015), 39 episodes in which the danish actor Mads Mikkelsen embodies the perverse cannibal. Regardless of its anthropological, moral and cultural connotations, most cannibalism behaviors are related to psychotic disorders, such as paranoid schyzophrenia, when this patients kill an d eat part of the bodies of their victims in their delusional pictures.(AU)

El corporativismo médico en el cine / Medical corporatism in cinema

Realizamos una búsqueda sistemática de películas utilizando los términos corporativismo y medicina en sitios web especializados sin importar la duración, nacionalidad, género o año de producción. Excluimos las películas animadas y series de television. Tras visionar 24 películas, seleccionamos seis de ellas buscando que fueran films de calidad, que no fueran muy conocidos y que el corporativismo formara parte importante del guion. En todos ellos y en diferentes formatos (comedia, drama, …) el corporativismo se presenta como una forma de corrupción en la que pueden caer los médicos, teniendo estos que anteponer siempre la salud del paciente y no sus intereses y prebendas. El análisis y comentario de todas estas películas puede ser de gran utilidad para la enseñanza de las ciencias de la salud, ayudando a evitar situaciones indeseables que tengan como responsable al corporativismo.(AU)

We carry out a systematic search for films on specialized websites regardless of duration, nationality, genre or year of production. The exclusion criteria were: animated films and television series. After viewing 24 films, we selected six of them looking for quality films, not very well-known and for corporatism to form an important part of the script. In all of them and in different formats (comedy, drama, …) corporatism is presented as a form of corruption that doctors can fall into, having to always put the patient's health first and not his interests and perks. The analysis and commentary of all these films can be very useful for the teaching of health sciences, helping to avoid undesirable situations that have corporatism as responsible.(AU)

Sintonía sin hogar. Historia de un solista solitario / Homeless tune. Story of a lonely soloist

El sinhogarismo supone un problema sociosanitario emergente relacionado principalmente con el desarrollo de patologías mentales y con diversas adicciones. La película El solista, dirigida por Joe Wright, representa un instrumento de gran utilidad para entender esta cuestión dado que revela el caso real de un músico que padece esquizofrenia y que vive en la calle, el señor Nathaniel Anthony Ayers Junior. Al mismo tiempo, la película permite analizar las circunstancias que le llevaron a esa situación y los factores que influyen en el proceso de inclusión social. Por lo tanto, se defiende el empleo de esta película como recurso pedagógico para la formación de estudiantes y profesionales.(AU)

Homelessness is an emerging socio-sanitary problem principally related to the development of mental pathologies and various addictions. The film The Soloist, directed by Joe Wright, represents a very useful resource to understand this issue since it reveals the real case of a musician who suffers from schizophrenia and who is homeless, Mr. Nathaniel Anthony Ayers Junior. At the same time, the film allows to analyze the circumstances that led him to this situation and the factors involved in the social inclusion process. Hence, the use of this film as a pedagogical resource for the training of students and professionals is defended.(AU)

Una Acción Civil (1998): la ley detrás del daño corporal, los defectos congénitos y la leucemia / A Civil Action (1998): the law behind bodily harm, birth defects and leukemia

Acción Civil es una película fundamental para comprender cómo la contaminación del ambiente influye en la salud humana, pero también el contexto biopsicosocial, ético, legítimo y legal en torno a la problemática de ejercer el derecho a un ambiente saludable. Muestra cómo la contaminación afecta a las comunidades, la responsabilidad que muchas empresas intentan eludir frente a sus acciones en perjuicio de la vida humana y ambiente y cómo la comunidad y los medios de comunicación pueden trabajar juntos para abordar estas cuestiones y tomar medidas para prevenir y tratar estos problemas. En la docencia universitaria de Ciencias de la Salud, el filme se constituye en un recurso pedagógico para ilustrar y concientizar sobre la problemática de la contaminación del agua potable y ambiente en general en la salud humana y especialmente durante la gestación. El visionado del filme por otro lado estimula el pensamiento crítico, divergente, analítico, reflexivo, emocional y el aprendizaje significativo, al tiempo que permite integrar conocimientos de las asignaturas que cursan y cultura general en una experiencia inmersiva. Asimismo, permite integrar aspectos legales que pocas veces son abordados en la carrera como una transversal educativa que contribuye al acervo de cultura general del estudiante.(AU)

A Civil Action is a fundamental film to understand how environmental contamination influences human health, but also the biopsychosocial, ethical, legitimate and legal context around the problem of exercising the right to a healthy environment. It shows how pollution affects communities, the responsibility that many companies try to evade due to their actions in detriment of human life and the environment, and how the community and the media can work together to address these issues and take measures to prevent and treat these problems. In the university teaching of Health Sciences, the film becomes a pedagogical resource to illustrate and raise awareness about the problem of drinking water contamination and the environment in general in human health and especially during pregnancy. Viewing the film on the other hand stimulates critical, divergent, analytical, reflective, emotional thinking and significant learning, while allowing the integration of knowledge of the subjects they are studying and general culture in an immersive experience. Likewise, it allows the integration of legal aspects that are rarely addressed in the career as an educational transversal that contributes to the heritage of the student's general culture.(AU)
