No filme Vaga carne (2019), dirigido (em parceria com Ricardo Alves Jr.) e protagonizado por Grace Passô, acompanhamos a jornada de uma voz que tem o poder de transitar por diferentes matérias. Novos e inesperados afetos são conhecidos quando a voz se vê presa a determinado corpo feminino e passa a ser submetida às implicações sociais de encarnar essa identidade. A partir da narrativa do filme, e em diálogo com teóricas como Ursula K. Le Guin, Anne Carson e Adriana Cavarero, o trabalho propõe pensar a afirmação de vozes plurais como enfrentamento poético a silenciamentos históricos.Palavras-chave: Voz; Grace Passô; Vaga carne; Palavra; Corpo. AbstractIn the film Dazed Flesh (2019), directed by Grace Passô and Ricardo Alves Jr., and starring Passô, we follow the journey of a voice that has the power to transit through different substances. Unexpected new affections appear when this voice finds itself attached to a certain female body and becomes subjected to the social implications of embodying this identity. Based on the narrative of the film, and in dialogue with theorists such as Ursula K. Le Guin, Anne Carson and Adriana Cavarero, we propose to think about the affirmation of plural voices as a poetic confrontation with historical silences.Keywords: Voice; Grace Passô; Dazed Flesh; Word; Body.

This chapter explores the funerary rites in the Phoenician-Punic world from a comprehensive point of view, and it focuses on the common points arising from a large amount of data. The concern for burying their deceased and the belief in the soul’s afterlife show that the Phoenicians considered death as a transformation rather than as the end of a person’s life. Through our access to archaeological remains and written sources, we can reconstruct the existence of a meaningful burial program that was destined to provide a “good death” and afterlife. Funerary rituals, thus, are the actions or gestures to achieve this goal. The aim of this chapter is to explain the rites that family members undertook once someone died, in order to transform correctly the deceased person into an otherworldly being, the ancestor. The social implications of the data arising from burials are also briefly considered.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to analyze the results from two public sector organizations to test a model of the organizational antecedents and health consequences of sickness presenteeism (SP) in the workplace.Design/methodology/approachThe study reports on two surveys of public employees, one including 237 respondents and another of 391 employees. The combined sample allowed for the testing of a model of organizational antecedents and the health consequences of SP.FindingsThe results supported the model, indicating that increased leader support and goal clarity decrease SP indirectly through increased trust. Decreasing presenteeism is associated with decreased sickness absence and better health.Practical implicationsThe key practical application is in encouraging managers and scholars to recognize that the costs of presenteeism are as higher or higher than the costs of absenteeism.Social implicationsThe social implications are clear in helping us recognize that when people come to work sick, they are not productive and are endangering the productivity of others.Originality/valueThis is the first time that research had defined and operationalized a causal model linking antecedents such as leader-member relations, goal clarity and trust with SP and absenteeism.
