The emergence of the information society in the second half of the 20th century and the widespread dissemination of communication and information technologies (ICTs) in the first half of the 21st century, imposed new rhythms on the institutions, reached the intimate constitution of the subjects, and transformed irreversibly the models of social interaction. Although traditional structures continue to guarantee the support of hierarchies and social rules, they no longer meet the desires of social subjects who are sometimes disoriented amid the turmoil of uncertainty that marks contemporary societies.

The Federal Constitution of 1988, as a political charter, brings in the unity of its articles guarantees, freedom and fundamental rights and can also be defined as a guiding roadmap, in all aspects of our life, for social participation and inclusion; socio-political collaboration and integration.

This article addresses a topic of great worldwide relevance, as it proposes reflections on the use of communication, to help raise awareness of a real and growing problem: environmental preservation. Based on works by renowned authors, the discussion points to a new perspective for environmental education. It mentions communication strategies used as a link between informative speeches on the subject and awareness and effectiveness of attitudes that preserve nature.

In Brazil, the largest country in Latin America, decisionism is already part of the reality, as one can identify among the various threats against the Supreme Court and its ministers, as well as in protests calling for the Supreme Court’s closure. If these demonstrations were isolated and had no support from state agents, there would be no ground for concern. However, several people in power positions compact with this idea For instance, here are 6 signs of an ongoing decisionist project in Brazil.

Amid the 2019 carnival, the federal government had reduced the participation of civil society in the deliberative spheres of power, and thus, entered (through the back door) in a classic phenomenon of Political Anthropology: the Carnivalization of Politics or, as we call it here, the cannibalization of CF88.

The anthropological legacy of the German-Brazilian researcher Curt Unckel Nimuendaju (1883-1945) has been the subject of many reflections in the last decade. His works were developed in dozens of indigenous tribes and imply a broader network, involving Brazilian and international institutions. In this short text, I would like to present some notes about Curt Nimuendaju and Robert Lowie (1883-1958) partnership. It came from the post-doctoral research entitled “From the urban institutions to the electronic sites: an ethnography of photographic collections and anthropological archives in Berkeley”. A general question guided it: how can we reflect upon the processes of digitization of anthropological images and archives, their conditions of use and online availability, ethical issues, policies, and potentialities of its contemporary uses? Another correlated question is about how archive collections were formed and managed throughout the time?

The globalization process has created a market opportunity to expand service businesses and attend diverse niche markets. The development of technology, by its turn, democratized access to knowledge and digital communication worldwide. Through online platforms, the final customer has access to the newest services and products worldwide, and, therefore, market trends and technologies are changing faster. These factors combined have been challenging the business model to create innovative strategies to meet customers' needs and stand out among competitors.

When we look back on 2020, the first fact that comes to mind is the COVID-19 pandemic and its harsh effects on public health and the world economy. However, suppose we reflect a bit longer. In that case, another event of global relevance stands out: the killing of the African-American citizen George Floyd during a police arrest in Minneapolis, Minnesota (the United States of America).
