Get PDFLa mise-en-scène des Cent nouvelles nouvelles : point de vue dialectologique sur le manuscrit Hunter 252
No full textS’il n’y a pas de raison valable de croire que la mise-en-scène des Cent nouvelles nouvelles est un simple artifice littéraire, l'analyse scriptologique ne détecte aucune trace des variations dialectales que l’on présume s’être manifestées lors des actes de narration. Cette homogénéité dans la langue du recueil, dont a vu qu’elle contenait un nombre important de picardismes, confirme la part capitale jouée par l’auteur anonyme dans son élaboration

Was it Uruguay or Coffee? The causes of the beef jerky industry’s decline in southern Brazil (1850 – 1889)
No full textWhat caused the decline of the beef jerky’s production in Brazil? The main sustenance for slaves, beef jerky was the most important industry in southern Brazil. Nevertheless, by 1850, producers were already worried that they could not compete with Uruguayan industry. Traditional interpretations impute the decline to labor markets differences in productivity, since Brazil used slaves while Uruguay had abolished slavery in 1842. Recent research also raises the possibility of a Brazilian “Dutch Disease”, resulting from the coffee exports boom. We test both hypothesis and argue that Brazilian production’s decline was associated with structural changes in demand for low quality meat. Trade protection policies created disincentives for Brazilian producers to increase productivity and diversify its cattle industry
