In this chapter I look at how Denim Jean are deployed for ordinary body sexualization. Despite their codification as potentially sexy, jeans remain mundane, almost ubiquitous items, perceived as remarkably versatile for all practical purposes in ordinary life. They are subject to fashion dynamics, and indeed represent an important segment in the fashion industry. They thus provide an excel-lent spot for the exploration of sexualization as an ordinary practice that emerges from – and aside to – normal daily rounds, as much as it is performed in specialized places or choreographed in a myriad of glamorized symbolic forms. I ntroduce my discussion by initially considering how Denim’s relationship to fashion illu-minates its relation to embodied subjectivity and individuality more generally. Rather than developing a semiotic approach, considering how the fashion system plunders fetishism or sexual subcultures for inspiration, I explore how the expression of sexuality (attraction and gender) is mediated by a particular clothing, denim jeans, which enjoys a particular status within the actualization of fashion in everyday life. In other words, I start naturalistically from reported practices of meaningful ordinary use of an ordinary item such as jeans, interrogating the chains of meanings that link identity, embodiment and sexuality. The mediating role of denim is revealed as subjects perform what I define as ‘mirror work’ - or actually looking at oneself and working on one's own ensuing emotions - to negotiate their own body perception in relation to normative ideals of beauty and sexuality. Based on ethnographic interviews, I show that denim jeans afford a perception of ‘fitness’ or appropriateness that articulates comfort with compliance as well as authenticity with adaptability. This dynamic is crucial to feeling sexy: something that is articulated via gendered notions of seduction.

A pesquisa teve como propósito desenvolver uma sequência didática sobre temas relevantes de Astronomia e verificar se a metodologia e materiais utilizados foram adequados e propiciaram uma aprendizagem significativa em um grupo de 33 estudantes do ensino médio da rede pública do estado do Espírito Santo ao qual a sequência foi aplicada, à luz da Teoria da Aprendizagem Significativa de David Ausubel e Joseph Novak. A sequência teve como tema geral Os Movimentos dos Planetas e os Modelos de Universo, cujo ensino aos estudantes foi baseado na preparação de um material potencialmente significativo envolvendo atividades de observação do céu a olho nu e com telescópio, uma abordagem histórica do tema em sala de aula, desde os primórdios da Astronomia até os tempos atuais, com ênfase na transição do modelo de universo geocêntrico para o heliocêntrico, uma sessão de planetário e atividade prática de simulação dos movimentos planetários com o próprio corpo. Boa parte das atividades foi plane...

Voltage control of magnetic anisotropy (VCMA) is one of the promising approaches for magnetoelectric control of magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ). Here, we systematically calculated the magnetic anisotropy (MA) and the VCMA energies in the well-known MTJ structure consisting of Fe/MgO interface with Cr buffer layer. In this calculation, we investigated an alloying between Fe and Cr and a strain effect. We used a spin density functional approach which includes both contributions from magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy (MCAE) originating from spin–orbit coupling and shape magnetic anisotropy energy from spin dipole–dipole interaction. In the present approach, the MCAE part, in addition to a common scheme of total energy, was evaluated using a grand canonical force theorem scheme. In the latter scheme, atom-resolved and k-resolved analyses for MA and VCMA can be performed. At first, we found that, as the alloying is introduced, the perpendicular MCAE increases by a factor of two. Next, ...
