L.; Vasconcelos, B. Resumo: Este artigo apresenta a estrutura e metodologia da mensuração de Impacto Positivo da plataforma ECO, desenvolvida pela Awa Growth. O objetivo é fornecer diretrizes para medir e reconhecer impacto, tornando esses processos mais acessíveis e alinhados à realidade das Micro, Pequenas e Médias Empresas brasileiras (MPMEs), que representam cerca de 98% das empresas formais do país e enfrentam desafios significativos para acessar certificações tradicionais, geralmente onerosas e complexas. A metodologia proposta, que leva à certificação, busca promover o reconhecimento de empresas comprometidas com a transformação socioeconômica e ambiental positiva, ampliando sua visibilidade. A metodologia adotada assegura rigor científico e fundamentação sólida por meio da Revisão Sistemática PRISMA para seleção de critérios. A avaliação combina indicadores qualitativos e quantitativos, organizados em três dimensões (Social, Ambiental e Econômica) e seus respectivos eixos. O sistema de mensuração é baseado em três matrizes de avaliação: Matriz de Índice, Matriz de Escala e Matriz Narrativa, todas pontuadas de 1 a 10. A média ponderada dessas matrizes determina o nível do selo (Baixo, Médio ou Alto), indicando a profundidade do impacto e o grau de maturidade da empresa em sua jornada regenerativa. O processo é concebido como uma trajetória de apoio e aprendizado contínuo, culminando em recomendações personalizadas e plano de ação.

Resumo: In the late 1920s, Siegfried Kracauer studied the then new middle class in Berlin, asking why they were not more disruptive of the structures that bore down on them. I ask the same about insecure professionals in contemporary Berlin, using Kracauer's book Die Angestellten as foil. Kracauer demonstrated that, in the 1920s, they still perceived themselves as workers, albeit white-collar and salaried workers. Berlin's professionals today perceive themselves and most everyone else as autonomous individuals possessing human capital that can appreciate or depreciate as the result of their actions. Work is but one of the sites in which a classless, self-formed identity can be cultivated and calibrated in all aspects of life. I show how this perception plays out in professionals' attitudes toward their work lives and after-work activities.

A. de. Resumo: This article explores how value is generated in the Portuguese call centre sector by examining its reliance on the commodification of socially and historically rooted reproductive capacities. Previous research on call centres has often focused on the disembedding, disembodiment, depersonalisation, and desubjectification of human linguistic agency, frequently neglecting the familial, educational, and moral infrastructures that make labour power both viable and exploitable. Drawing on extensive ethnographic fieldwork, I argue that the extraction of value in this sector relies not only on linguistic output or emotional labour but also on historically embedded reproductive capacities, such as empathy, ethical judgment, and communicative skills. These capacities are shaped by intergenerational efforts aimed at social mobility and national modernisation. These reproductive investments, which are developed outside the wage relationship, are appropriated by capital through a labour regime that requires personalisation while enforcing standardisation. By integrating social reproduction theory with call centre studies, this article reframes call centres as critical sites where the tensions between production and reproduction become evident, contested, and productive of surplus value.

S. Resumo: Former mining sites are increasingly tasked with mediating extractive pasts while engaging publics with contemporary sustainability challenges. Examining the case of the Lousal Cultural Complex – in Portugal's Alentejo, 140 km south of Lisbon – this paper highlights tensions in heritage interpretation, science communication, social engagement, and environmental responsibility. Drawing on documentary analysis, site visit, exhibition analysis, and interviews with institutional actors, the study assesses how mining history, environmental impacts and rehabilitation, and energy transition are communicated within the complex, across its permanent exhibitions and mediated activities. The Lousal Cultural Complex is a case that exemplifies both the possibilities of the integration of heritage reuse and science communication, and the curatorial challenges of balancing immersive and memorable engagement with the communication of just and transformative energy transitions. While the complex demonstrates substantial technical, cultural, scientific, and educational achievements, the findings reveal a marked narrative asymmetry: Narratives of extractive dependency and technological progress are embedded in permanent and interactive exhibitions, while social histories, environmental degradation, remediation limits, and post-extractive futures are communicated through incidental verbal interpretation, temporary exhibitions, or event-based programming. As a result, the potential to foster environmental citizenship is constrained, although possible to overcome by curatorial changes that engage publics with social histories and equip them with critical perspectives on consumption, circular economy, and mineral futures to promote just and green transitions.
