Which place occupies pleasure in sexual education programs? In Panama, as in other Latin American countries, violence against children and women does not allow people to realize own bodylines and less their right to pleasure. Present programs about sexual education, pregnancy prevention and AIDS promote the use of preservatives and abstinence but do not include the ethics of pleasure. Frequently, the health and training personnel are not prepared to speak about the topic. The use of sexual pleasure as a merchandise in media creates greater confusion. Bioethics must integrate psychological and anthropological studies and a sense of humanity to allow this personnel to work with persons towards the integral appropriation of human beings.

The present issue proposes a possible reading key, which might allow a new deciphering mode of Michel Tournier's novel « Vendredi ou les limbes du Pacifique » (Friday or the Virgin Islands of the Pacific). We will try to prove that the code one should use in the comprehension and interpretation of this bizarre author is myth, but a myth turned upside down, overturned, reversed. Tournier's goal is neither to re-write and re-invest of new significations the myth of the « bon sauvage », nor to destroy the modern myth of the « homo faber »; by changing the fundamental vectors of the story, Tournier wants to 'force' his reader to ask himself several questions and to reflect upon some post-modern problems such as: tolerance and difference (according to Derrida's concepts). Against the myth of the 'homo faber', who dominated the 18 th , 19 th and more than half of the 20 th centuries, Tournier opposes the model of what we called the 'homo contemplativus', which, of course, is never as efficient as his predecessor, but corresponds better to the aspirations of the post-industrial and post-modern era.

Este texto problematiza o conceito de simulacao no campo comunicacional, a partir do cotejo entre o uso tradicional desse termo no senso comum e a abordagem mais recente das pesquisas focadas nas tecnologias informacionais. No primeiro caso a simulacao e – ou era, ate ha pouco tempo - sinonimo de farsa, ao passo que no segundo predomina a acepcao proveniente das tecnociencias: metodo experimental baseado em ensaios com modelos. Neste artigo proponho uma definicao de simulacao que busca superar o antagonismo entre estas duas acepcoes; contextualizo o conceito frente ao paradigma contemporâneo da complexidade, explorando conexoes com as nocoes de emergencia e jogo; e estabeleco um paralelo entre a logica da simulacao e a dualidade analogico-digital do codigo informacional.

 From Representation to Simulation: Communication in the Paradigm of Complexity 

This text questions the concept of simulation in the communicational field, from the confrontation between the traditional use of this term in the common sense and the most recent approach of the researches focused on the informational technologies. In the first case the simulation is, or was, a little time ago, a synonym of farce – while in the second one, the acceptation coming from the techno sciences predominates: experimental method based on essays with models. In this article, I propose a definition that intends to exceed the antagonism between these two acceptations; I contextualize the concept faced with the contemporary paradigm of complexity, exploring connections with the notions of emergence and game; and I establish a parallel between the logic of simulation and the analog-digital duality of the informational code.

Da Representação à Simulação: a Comunicação sob o Paradigma da Complexidade

Que ce soit pour l’apprentissage de la vie ou dans un simple divertissement, le jeu est present a chacune des etapes de la vie, depuis l’Antiquite. Depuis les annees 1900, pedagogues, psychologues et enseignants s’interessent au jeu en tant qu’outil d’education. Les nouvelles pedagogies encouragent un apprentissage par le savoir-faire, avec l’eleve au centre son propre apprentissage et non plus le savoir. De plus, ils s’interrogent sur l’impact que peut avoir le jeu, qu’il soit video ou de societe, dans la motivation des eleves a l’ecole. Ainsi, cette etude tente de demontrer l’impact que peut avoir le jeu dans le processus d’apprentissage des eleves de Sixieme, tant dans leurs apprentissages propres a une discipline que dans leur motivation. A travers la fabrication et la pratique d’un jeu de questions-reponses en classe d’Histoire-Geographie-Enseignement Moral et Civique nous demontrerons que l’apprentissage et la motivation des eleves se trouvent principalement dans l’idee de fabriquer quelque chose et dans le fait de donner sens a leurs savoirs. Ainsi, les eleves ont travaille des savoir-etre ou competences personnelles, comme l’estime de soi ou la confiance en ses propres capacites : le jeu peut donc etre un outil scolaire, participant a l’evolution des enfants et adolescents.

L’utilisation du jeu pour apprendre en classe d’Histoire, de Géographie et d’Enseignement Moral et Civique

The history of European videogames has been so far overshadowed by the global impact of the Japanese and North American industries. However, European game development studios have played a major role in videogame history, and prominent videogames in popular culture, such as Grand Theft Auto, Tomb Raider and Alone in the Dark were made in Europe. This book proposes an exploration of European videogames, including both analyses of transnational aspects of European production and close readings of national specificities. It offers a kaleidoscope of European videogame culture, focusing on the analysis of European works and creators but also addressing contextual aspects and placing videogames within a wider sociocultural and philosophical ground. The aim of this collective work is to contribute to the creation of a, so far, almost non-existent yet necessary academic endeavour: a story of the works, authors, styles and cultures of the European videogame.
