Helena Kolody, carbono & diamante: uma biografia ilustrada
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-Graduação em LiteraturaHelena Kolody, carbono & diamante - uma biografia ilustrada conta a vida da escritora Helena Kolody, a partir de sua inscrição na literatura, questionando sua identidade, o mundo que a cercava e o sentido de sua existência. Equivale a dizer: em sua lírica, reflexões e sentimentos se entretecem a partir de uma matéria pessoal e localizada. Da estação ferroviária à estação tubo; da Ucrânia ao centro de Curitiba; de Paisagem interior a Reika; do século XIX ao século XXI, a literatura de Helena Kolody gerencia sua presença na consolidação do binômio arte-vida. O retrato da autora acaba se constituindo também por meio de farto aparato iconográfico; pelos mais de quinhentos textos críticos elencados e por sua obra completa. Fragmentação deliberadamente assumida, a pessoa se revela em sua inteireza.Helena Kolody, carbon & diamond - an illustrated biography tells the life of Helena Kolody, from her very insertion in literature, as it questions her identity, the world surrounding her, and the meaning of her existence. That is equivalent to saying that in her poetry there is the intermingling of reflections and feelings that derive from personal and localized material. From the railroad station to the tube-shaped bus stops; from Ukraine to downtown Curitiba; from Paisagem interior to Reika; from the nineteenth century to the twenty-first century, Helena Kolody's literature guarantees her presence in the consolidation of the art/life binomial. The portrait of the author ends up by also being made up of an abundant iconographic apparatus, of the over five hundred critical texts listed, and of her complete work. The person, although deliberately accepting her own fragmentation, reveals herself in her entireness
Transient observations : the textualizing of St Helena through five hundred years of colonial discourse
No full textThis thesis explores the textualizing of the South Atlantic island of St Helena (a
British Overseas Territory) through an analysis of the relationship between
colonizing practices and the changing representations of the island and its
inhabitants in a range of colonial 'texts', including historiography, travel writing,
government papers, creative writing, and the fine arts.
Part I situates this thesis within a critical engagement with post-colonial
theory and colonial discourse analysis primarily, as well as with the recent
'linguistic turn' in anthropology and history. In place of post-colonialism's rather
monolithic approach to colonial experiences, I argue for a localised approach to
colonisation, which takes greater account of colonial praxis and of the continuous
re-negotiation and re-constitution of particular colonial situations.
Part II focuses on a number of literary issues by reviewing St Helena's
historiography and literature, and by investigating the range of narrative tropes
employed (largely by travellers) in the textualizing of St Helena, in particular
with respect to recurrent imaginings of the island in terms of an earthly Eden.
Part III examines the nature of colonial 'possession' by tracing the island's
gradual appropriation by the Portuguese, Dutch and English in the sixteenth and
early seventeenth century and the settlement policies pursued by the English
East India Company in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth century.
Part IV provides an account of the changing perceptions, by visitors and
colonial officials alike, of the character of the island's inhabitants (from the late
eighteenth to the early twentieth century) and assesses the influence that these
perceptions have had on the administration of the island and the political status of
its inhabitants (in the mid- to late twentieth century).
Part V, the conclusion, reviews the principal arguments of my thesis by
addressing the political implications of post-colonial theory and of my own
research, while also indicating avenues for further research.
A localised and detailed exploration of colonial discourse over a period of
nearly five hundred years, and a close analysis of a consequently wide range of
colonial 'texts', has confirmed that although colonising practices and
representations are far from monolithic, in the case of St Helena their continuities
are of as much significance as their discontinuities
Esporte e cinema : novos olhares

Acompanhado de CD-ROMESPORTE E CINEMA: NOVOS OLHARES Este livro é um dos desdobramentos de uma série de iniciativas que estão em andamento desde o ano de 2003, ocasião em que demos início ao projeto “Representações do esporte no cinema brasileiro”. O intuito básico era, reconhecendo os fortes relacionamentos entre a prática esportiva e a arte cinematográfica na construção do ideário e imaginário da modernidade, discutir o olhar que os cineastas brasileiros lançaram sobre esse importante fenômeno social. Foi também desencadeado um esforço de levantamento e catalogação dos filmes nacionais nos quais o esporte esteve presente, seja como assunto central, ocupando relevante espaço na trama, ou mesmo quando só ocasionalmente há alguma referência.Rede CEDES / M
Citation, Annotation,Translation: Reflections on Italian Feminisms and the Now You Can Go programme
No full textThis lecture focuses on ‘Now You Can Go,’ a two-week long events programme inspired by Italian feminisms of the late 1960s, 1970s and 1980s that Helena Reckitt initiated and organised with six feminist colleagues in 2015. Foregrounding the implications of what it means to both curate as feminists and to curate feminist content, the talk explores how practices of transmission, translation and annotation operate as means of intergenerational feminist encounter.
Italian feminisms feature little within Anglo-American accounts of the women’s movement. Yet the tactics that Italian feminists developed, largely through the practices of small groups and collectives, have much to offer contemporary feminism. These practices include autocosziena, the Italian feminist version of consciousness-raising; affidamento/entrustment, in which women form relationships of entrustment with one another that recognise their differences and disparities; non-assimilationist politics that refuse the assumptions inherent to campaigns for equal rights; and the rejection of expected roles and institutional power that Carla Lonzi termed ‘deculturation,’ which she examined in her book Vai Pure, whose English name, ‘Now You Can Go,’ lent the programme its title.
Reckitt describes how the ‘Now You Can Go’ programme developed out of the Feminist Duration Reading Group on under-known feminisms, especially those from Italy, and discusses how programme elements were led by the seven members of a programming team that she initiated. Considering the generative impact of the programme, Reckitt also discusses some of its limitations, which reflect the need to incorporate feminist values into a project that curates feminist content.
The talk considers the practices of artists, theorists and activists including the historical projects of Carla Lonzi, Rivolta Femminile, Milan Women’s Bookshop Collective, Wages For Housework, Teresa de Lauretis, and Gayatri Spivak, and of contemporary practitioners including Claire Fontaine, Kajsa Dahlberg, Laura Guy, Gabrielle Moser, and Nina Wakeford.
Following the presentation, Reckitt later participated in a panel discussion alongside curators and art historians Nkule Mabaso, Lara Perry, Maura Reilly, Dorothee Richter, and Hilary Robinson, chaired by Laura Castagnini

Da redenção ao conflito : a reação popular frente ao Projeto Minerário Vale do Rio Pardo no norte de Minas Gerais
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Sociologia Política, Florianópolis, 2015.Este trabalho objetiva analisar o processo de organização dos atingidos pelo Projeto Minerário Vale do Rio Pardo, avaliando se está ocorrendo a emergência de um movimento social a partir da implantação do projeto; identificando as ?estruturas mobilizadoras? ou que dão suporte aos atores sociais, bem como os significados (frames) que os mesmos atribuem ao processo e o papel do Estado na implantação do projeto minerário Vale do Rio Pardo. Para atingir o objetivo proposto utilizamos a perspectiva desta articulação social a partir dos conflitos com as mineradoras e o Estado, dos discursos e das formas de ação dos mediadores que auxiliam os atingidos pela mineração e a forma como eles agem e se apropriam destes discursos. O trabalho está dividido em três capítulos e as considerações finais. No primeiro capítulo será retomado um pouco da história da construção do Estado de Minas Gerais e da diferenciação entre o Norte e o Sul do Estado, a inserção do Norte de Minas Gerais na economia nacional e estadual através dos Grandes Projetos de Investimento e as consequências destes para a população rural da região e uma descrição do Projeto Vale do Rio Pardo. O segundo capítulo analisa a expansão da fronteira mineral brasileira e a importância da indústria mineradora para a economia do país, o Discurso do Desenvolvimento Minerador(DDM) como justificativa para a expansão da fronteira mineral e a implantação do Projeto Minerário Vale do Rio Pardo, o papel do Estado enquanto regulador do território e financiador ou propulsor do neo desenvolvimento extrativista e dos GPIs, mas também defensor dos direitos humanos e o Projeto de Lei 5807/13 que cria o Novo Código Mineral brasileiro. O terceiro e último capítulo contextualiza a discussão sobre os movimentos sociais, tendo inicialmente o conflito como condição sine qua non para a existência destes, a construção da identidade coletiva como geradora de movimentos sociais e da formação das redes como forma de crescimento e fortalecimento. Neste sentido, aportes das teorias,-especialmente a das Oportunidades Políticas e dos frames, que motivam e ?alimentam? a luta; em especial pela construção do conceito de atingido(a) ? e das redes identitárias serão aqui mobilizados. Este capítulo também analisa os conflitos em áreas de mineração, tendo em vista analisar como os atingidos pelo Projeto Vale do Rio Pardo estão reagindo à implantação deste projeto que ainda se encontra em fase de licenciamento, destacando o papel desempenhado pelos diferentes mediadores sociais na construção da Articulação dos Atingidos pela Mineração no Norte de Minas. As considerações finaisserão uma reflexão sobre a articulação social ou movimento social nascente no Norte de Minas, com ênfase para o papel dos mediadores sociais, avaliando como os atingidos se apropriam dos conhecimentos e das contribuições destes na construção de uma nova identidade e na luta por um outro desenvolvimento, um desenvolvimento para todos.Abstract : This work aims to analyze the process of organizing the hit by Mining Project Vale do Rio Pardo, assessing whether it is occurring the emergence of a social movement from the project implantation; identifying the "mobilizing structures" or that support the social actors and the meanings (frames) that they attach to the process and the role of the state in the implementation of the mining project Vale do Rio Pardo. To achieve this purpose will be used the prospect of this social relationship from conflict with the mining companies and the state, discourses and forms of action of mediators that help those affected by mining and the way they act and appropriate these speeches. The work is divided into three chapters and the closing remarks. In the first chapter will resume some of the history of the construction of the State of Minas Gerais and differentiation between the North and the South of the State, North insertion of Minas Gerais in the national and state economy through major capital investiments projects and the consequences of same for the rural population and a description of the Rio Pardo Valley Project. The second chapter discusses the expansion of the Brazilian mining frontier and the importance of the mining industry to the economy, the Miner Development Discourse (DDM) as justification for the expansion of mineral border and the implementation of the Project Mining Vale do Rio Pardo, the State's role as regulator of the territory and financier or driver of neo extractive development and GPIs, but also human rights defender and the Bill 5807/13 establishing the new Brazilian Mineral Code. The third and final chapter contextualizes the discussion on social movements, initially with the conflict as a sine qua non for the existence of these, the construction of collective identity as a generator of social movements and the formation of networks as a means of growth and strengthening. In this sense, contributions of theories, especially the Opportunities Policies and frames - that motivate and "feed" the fight, especially the construction of the concept of hit - and identity networks will be mobilized here. This chapter also analyzes the conflicts in mining areas in order to analyze how those affected by the Pardo River Valley Project are reacting to the implementation of this project which is still in the licensing phase, highlighting the role played by different social mediators in the construction of Articulation of People Affected by Mining in Northern Minas Gerais. The final consideration will be a reflection on the social articulation or nascent social movement in the North of Minas Gerais,with emphasis on the role of social mediators, assessing how those affected take ownership of knowledge and contributions of these in the construction of a new identity and the struggle for another development, development for all
Conference Panel: Documenting the Olympics & Paralympics
No full textThe online panel event Documenting the Olympics & Paralympics is a collaboration between the British Library, the International Centre for Sports History and Culture (ICSHC) at De Montfort University, and the British Society of Sports History (BSSH). Originally, this was supposed to be a full day face-to-face event, but due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, that event has been postponed until summer 2021.
This panel discussion reveals more about researchers' experiences when navigating archives, as well as the collection policies related to Olympics/Paralympics of GLAM organisations. There is a broad mix of physical, digitised and born digital resources will be covered in the presentations.
The event is hosted by BSSH Chair, Raf Nicholson and moderated by BSSH Secretary Geoff Levett.
Speaker Abstracts
The Heritage of the Games: Interpreting urban change in Olympic host cities
Dr Laura Alexandra Brown, Architecture and Built Environment, Northumbria University.
[email protected]
Hosting an Olympic Games has the potential to deliver long-lasting benefits in host cities: considerably changing image and infrastructure; and accelerating urban development plans. The design of venues able to both accommodate Olympic competitions in the short term and be used by the community in the long-term, poses a major challenge for architects and designers. Whilst some stadia are well used for many years after the events have ended and become an important part of the heritage of the city, others begin to fall into disrepair, disuse or decay after the Games, or are subsequently demolished. This paper seeks to identify the features of design that support the positive long-term function and preservation, or subsequent demolition, of the architecture of the Games: using a mixed methods approach to document, identify, and interpret the development, or degeneration, of Olympic buildings and their urban context over time, through the scrutiny of archival and in-situ data. Exploring concepts of social, cultural and architectural heritage, value and worth, this research explores architecture and photography as complex repositories of time, revealing the role of the archive in developing a comprehensive history of Olympic architecture to benefit Olympic host cities and communities of the future.
Finding Olympic History in Non-Sport Archives
Dr Heather L. Dichter, International Centre for Sports History and Culture, De Montfort University.
[email protected]
Much sport history, and especially Olympic history, has been written based on the papers of sport organizations, including organizing committees (OCOGs), and papers from sport leaders. Some sport organizations still maintain their archives, such as the IOC, IPC, many IFs, NOCs, and NGBs (but often as just “files”, not actual archive). Individual people’s papers can be in many locations such as British Library, although in North America and the UK they can often be held at university archives. While all of these type of records from sport organizations directly are of course essential for understanding the Olympics and Paralympics, there is much to be gained from using federal government records, often contained within national archives and, in the case of the US, presidential libraries (which are part of the NARA). What scholars doing this kind of research found: using foreign ministry and other federal government records is revealing on many levels and deepens our understanding of sport history stories we already know. In order to find these kinds of materials in the archives, it is important for researchers to know where to look. Archivists play a valuable role in helping researchers find these materials.
Researching the Olympic and Paralympic Games at Wimbledon
Robert McNicol, Librarian, Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum.
[email protected]
Lawn tennis was part of the programme at the inaugural modern Olympic Games, held in Athens in 1896. It remained part of the Games until disagreements between the IOC (International Olymic Committee) and ILTF (International Lawn Tennis Association) over the organisation of the tennis event, and over the nature of amateurism, caused it to be removed from the programme before the 1928 Games in Amsterdam.
Tennis returned to the Olympic Games as a demonstration event at the 1968 Games in Mexico City and then again at the 1984 Games in Los Angeles, before returning as a full Olympic sport in 1988 in Seoul.
Wimbledon has hosted the Olympic Games tennis event on two occasions, in 1908 and 2012. In 1908, an indoor tennis event was also held, at Queen’s Club, earlier in the year.
For researchers of Olympic tennis, the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum and Kenneth Wimbledon Library can offer many valuable resources, including books, periodicals, programmes and other items from nearly every Olympic tennis tournament. The Museum also holds a huge collection of items collected during the London 2012 Olympic tennis event, held at The All England Lawn Tennis Club.
Many of these items were exhibited the same year in a successful temporary exhibition, which told the story of tennis at the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The Library’s founder, Alan Little, was a leading scholar of tennis at the Olympic Games was the author of two books on the subject, both of which are part of the Library collection.
This presentation gives a brief history of tennis at the Olympic Games, told through some of the items that form the Museum and Library collections.
Preserving the Olympics/Paralympics online
Helena Byrne, Curator of Web Archives, British Library.
[email protected]
The year 2020 was originally an Olympic/Paralympic year before the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic. It is also a significant milestone for the UK Web Archive and the International Internet Preservation Consortium (IIPC). As it marks 15 years since the first UK Web Archive collections were published and also 10 years since the IIPC first started archiving the Olympics. This presentation gives an overview of some of the various sporting collections held at the British Library, an overview of the UK Web Archive sports collecting policy and what is collected around Olympic and Paralympic events as well as an overview of the IIPC collection policies.
In 2017, the UK Web Archive set up dedicated sports collections. There are three broad collection groups Sports Collection, Sports: Football and Sports: International Events. The subsections of the Sports: International Events includes two summer and two winter Olympic/Paralympic collections from 2010, 2012, 2014 and 2016. The largest of these collections is the Olympic & Paralympic Games 2012 collection as the Games were hosted in the UK.
The UK Web Archive is made up of the six UK legal deposit libraries, two of those libraries, the British Library and the National Library of Scotland are also members of the IIPC which was founded in 2003. In 2010 the IIPC started its first collaborative collection on the Winter Olympics 2010 and has covered every Olympic/Paralympic Games since. Since the formation of the IIPC Content Development Group (CDG) the collections have started to include a broader range of subjects on and off the playing field
Política e tragédia: os arquétipos da exclusão no liberalismo rawlsiano
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências Jurídicas. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Direito.Para dar origem a uma sociedade estável, em todos respeitem as liberdades básicas, o liberalismo político de John Rawls sugere uma noção de sujeito. Esse sujeito é o que consegue atingir os princípios de justiça política previstos na justiça eqüitativa. Tais princípios servem para orientar o funcionamento das instituições públicas, e, por isso, pretendem-se afastados de qualquer doutrina particular de bem. Antes de uma noção de justiça, uma noção forte de sujeito. Sujeito para o liberalismo político rawlsiano seria aquela pessoa moral, dotada de racionalidade e razoabilidade. A racionalidade é entendida como a capacidade de escolher uma concepção de bem, ou de determinar um projeto de vida. Já a razoabilidade é a capacidade de cooperar em termos eqüitativos com a realização dos demais projetos de vida. É também por essa capacidade que o sujeito acredita que as instituições políticas se orientam pelos princípios de justiça eqüitativamente acordados - é a autonomia liberal. No entanto, essa noção de sujeito, ou de pessoa moral, que é a base do liberalismo político, acaba excluindo uma série de arquétipos, de comportamentos humanos, antes mesmo que esses possam presenciar a formação do ambiente político. Ou seja, o pensamento político da liberdade determina que comportamentos são mais livres que outros. Assim a justiça eqüitativa de Rawls não se afasta de uma noção moral sobre a política. E uma noção forte, capaz de expulsar da política figuras como heraclitianos, céticos, sofistas, trágicos e jogadores. Nenhuma dessas personagens, que afloram de tempos em tempos em cada cidadão, estaria contemplada pelo ambiente político da sociedade bem ordenada do liberalismo rawlsiano. O problema é que com a exclusão desses arquétipos elimina-se a possibilidade de um ambiente político, entendido como lugar de fala
