In rural areas, such as Barra do Corda-MA, it holds an even more relevant position, reflecting family and community traditions. This study aims to analyze the beef consumer profile in Barra do Corda, considering the socioeconomic and cultural factors that influence their food choices. The research problem is as follows: what is the profile of the beef consumer in Barra do Corda-MA, and how do their socioeconomic characteristics and preferences influence this consumption? The research was conducted with a quantitative and descriptive approach, using questionnaires applied to one hundred local consumers. The results revealed that beef is regularly consumed by families in the city, being an essential food associated with socialization moments, such as barbecues and family meals. Additionally, price, flavor, and texture were identified as the main factors influencing the purchasing decision. The research also pointed out that most consumers prefer to buy beef from traditional butcher shops, highlighting the trust in local buying relationships. Data analysis shows that beef consumption in Barra do Corda is linked to socioeconomic factors, with family income being one of the determinants in food choices. This study contributes to strengthening the local production chain and improving marketing strategies, as well as opening paths for future research on eating habits and the impact of changes in the meat market in the region Wed, 03 Dec 2025 00:00:00 GMT https://repositorio.uema.br/jspui/handle/123456789/5934 2025-12-03T00:00:00Z https://repositorio.uema.br/jspui/handle/123456789/5933 Título: Da semente ao mercado: uma análise multidimensional da feira da agricultura familiar em Barra do Corda - MA Abstact: The Family Farming Market of Barra do Corda, Maranhão, constitutes an essential socio-productive space for the direct commercialization of food, the valorization of local agricultural identity, and the promotion of short supply chains. This study sought to analyze this environment in a multidimensional manner, encompassing its socioeconomic, environmental, organizational, and market dimensions from the perspective of both exhibitors and consumers. The research adopted a quali-quantitative approach, grounded in the application of structured and semi-structured questionnaires, direct observation at different moments of the market, and content analysis of the collected statements. The results reveal that the market is sustained primarily by family farmers with a consolidated productive trajectory, although one marked by low income levels, pluriactivity, and structural limitations that hinder the full adoption of sustainable practices. There was strong appreciation for techniques such as organic fertilization, crop rotation, and biological management, despite recurrent obstacles such as implementation costs and insufficient technical assistance. Regarding commercialization, the study found that a significant portion of exhibitors manage to sell more than half of what they bring to the market; however, limited publicity and competition with supermarkets reduce the potential for local market expansion. From the consumers’ perspective, the market received strong approval as a safe, trustworthy, and socially proximate space for food acquisition, with notable satisfaction regarding product quality, freshness, and cordial service. The profile of attendees reveals a predominance of educated adults motivated by values such as health, product origin, support for local farmers, and the search for pesticide-free foods. The data also indicate a significant willingness to pay more for agroecological products, evidencing a qualified demand that is not yet fully harnessed by exhibitors due to productive and organizational limitations. Despite the market’s strong social legitimacy, consumers identified weaknesses in physical infrastructure, environmental comfort, and the near absence of institutional publicity—factors that hinder its visibility and expansion. In conclusion, the market plays a structuring role in the territory by integrating economy, culture, food security, and community strengthening, positioning itself as an essential social asset for Barra do Corda. However, its full potential depends on investments in public infrastructure, strategic communication, continuous technical support, and strengthened rural development policies. Thus, the study demonstrates that, while the market already fulfills essential functions for both farmers and consumers, it can become even more robust and sustainable through integrated actions that reinforce its economic, social, and environmental roles Fri, 12 Dec 2025 00:00:00 GMT https://repositorio.uema.br/jspui/handle/123456789/5933 2025-12-12T00:00:00Z https://repositorio.uema.br/jspui/handle/123456789/5932 Título: Ensino de língua portuguesa à luz da teoria das operações predicativas e enunciativas: descrição e reflexão Abstact: This article aims to analyze the contributions of the Theory of Predicative and Enunciative Operations - TOPE, developed by Antoine Culioli (1990, 1999a, 1999b, 2018), to the teaching of grammar and Portuguese language. The study is grounded in the conception of language as an activity of construction and regulation of values, in which meanings result from cognitive and linguistic operations performed by subjects in situation. From a methodological perspective, this is a qualitative study of a bibliographical and analytical-interpretative nature, whose corpus consists of four scientific articles selected according to criteria of theoretical and methodological relevance. Each article is examined in a specific section, allowing for the description of the operations mobilized in different teaching proposals and for the establishment of relations among distinct analytical frameworks. The results indicate the possibility of moving away from normative and dichotomous approaches toward practices that take into account the functioning of language in use, particularly with regard to the articulation between reading activities, interpretation, and grammatical reflection. It is concluded that TOPE provides consistent theoretical foundations for the development of teaching proposals that consider grammar as an analytical tool for examining enunciative operations and the construction of values in language activity Mon, 12 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://repositorio.uema.br/jspui/handle/123456789/5932 2026-01-12T00:00:00Z https://repositorio.uema.br/jspui/handle/123456789/5915 Título: Úrsula, de Maria Firmina dos Reis, sob o olhar da crítica feminista Abstact: This article analyzes the novel Úrsula (1859/2020) by Maria Firmina dos Reis from a feminist critical perspective. The aim is to demonstrate how Maria Firmina, a Black and poor woman, subverts the gender and race roles imposed on women in 19th-century Maranhão. The analysis, focused on the characters Úrsula (the mistress) and Preta Susana (the slave), reveals that the bond of solidarity between them is a pioneering act that criticizes patriarchal-slaveholding oppression and anticipates the anti-racist and feminist debate. This study also describes the socio-political role played by women in Maranhão in the 19th century and the conduct of Maria Firmina dos Reis, allowing for an analysis of the work Úrsula (1859/2020), considering the theories of Simone de Beauvoir (2009), Norma Telles (1997), Elaine Showalter (1989), and other authors Wed, 01 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT https://repositorio.uema.br/jspui/handle/123456789/5915 2025-01-01T00:00:00Z
