ADAM SMITH'S OPTIMISTIC TELEOLOGICAL VIEW OF HISTORY
No full textAdam Smith's four-stage theory provides the framework for his writings on history. The fourth stage is the commercial epoch; the culmination of history in this stage is a key component in the conventional interpretation of Adam Smith as a prophet of commercialism. In two historical case studies Smith shows the capacity of commercial society to regenerate itself. This potent capacity suggests that commercial society is inevitable. At a certain point in time it also overcomes the major obstacles to its permanence. Smith's philosophy of history anticipates the end of history views of Kant and Hegel.Political Economy,

Villiers de L´Isle-Adam: tradução e exorcismo ou a propósito das palavras pesadas em balanças de teias de aranha e do fantástico em Claire Lenoir
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura, Florianópolis, 2011A presente tese é fundamentada na obra Tribulat Bonhomet, de Villiers de L'Isle-Adam (1838-1889). Obra composta de quatro contos e uma novela. Tanto a obra quanto o autor permitem muitas reflexões acerca da literatura, desde a literatura de humor até a de horror, mas sobretudo literatura fantástica. E é sobre esta que me detenho, especificamente na novela Claire Lenoir. Como Tribulat Bonhomet permanece inédito em português, apresento uma tradução e sobre essa tradução ? que se encontra ao fim, como anexo ? elaborei minha tese, sobre uma via dupla: tradução e teoria literária. Dedico o Capítulo 1 a essa duplicidade, separadamente, apresentando em 1.1 a literatura fantástica, fazendo o esboço de um tipo de literatura que provoca um exorcismo do real, um afastamento entre o leitor e a realidade. Na seqüência, em 1.2 abordo as perspectivas de tradução de um texto literário, a partir, principalmente, de Friedrich Schleiermacher (1768-1834) e Antoine Berman (1942-1991). Ambos os tópicos servirão de base para os dois capítulos subseqüentes. No Capítulo 2, dedico-me ao processo de tradução do romance, levando em conta as perspectivas abordadas no Capítulo 1.2, fazendo comentários acerca da tradução e comparando-a com outras traduções. Por último, no Capítulo 3, partindo da forma como Villiers de L'Isle-Adam mescla realidade e ficção ? e tomo aí como base o texto traduzido ? retomo os temas esboçados no Capítulo 1.1, da literatura fantástica, para especificar os elementos estranhos que geram o fantástico na obra e provocam um exorcismo do real. A conclusão, portanto, dá-se sobre uma duplicidade: há um exorcismo do real na literatura fantástica; e há um exorcismo do real em Villiers ? mediante a inserção de elementos fantásticos.Cette thèse est basée sur l'oeuvre Tribulat Bonhomet, de Villiers de L'Isle-Adam (1838-1889). Oeuvre composée de quatre récits et une nouvelle. L'oeuvre et l'auteur permettent de nombreuses réflexions sur la littérature, de la littérature d'humour jusqu´à l'horreur, mais surtout sur la littérature fantastique. Et c'est sur cette dernière que je me pencherai spécifiquement avec la nouvelle Claire Lenoir. Comme Tribulat Bonhomet reste inédite en portugais, je présente une traduction, et c´est sur cette traduction ? qui se trouve en fin de volume en pièce jointe ? que j´ai élaboré ma thèse selon une double voie: la traduction et la théorie littéraire. Je consacre le Chapitre 1 à cette duplicité, séparément, en présentant en 1.1 la littérature fantastique, faisant le croquis d'un type de littérature qui provoque un exorcisme du réel, une distanciation entre le lecteur et la réalité. Ensuite, en 1.2 je discute sur les perspectives de la traduction d'un texte littéraire, à partir, principalement, de Friedrich Schleiermacher (1768-1834) et d'Antoine Berman (1942-1991). Les deux thèmes formeront la base des deux chapitres suivants. Dans le Chapitre 2, je me consacre au processus de traduction de l'oeuvre, en tenant compte des perspectives discutées dans la partie 1.2, en faisant des commentaires concernant la traduction et en la comparant à d'autres traductions. Enfin, au Chapitre 3, à partir de la manière dont Villiers de L'Isle-Adam mélange fiction et réalité ? et je me base ici à partir du texte traduit ? je reprends les thèmes mentionnés dans le Chapitre 1.1, sur la littérature fantastique, en précisant que des éléments étranges génèrent le fantastique dans l'oeuvre et provoquent un exorcisme du réel. La conclusion, donc, se fonde sur une duplicité: il est un exorcisme du réel dans la littérature fantastique, et il est un exorcisme du réel chez Villiers ? par l'inclusion d'éléments fantastiques

Americans’ perceptions of and likely responses to the threat of avian influenza in the U.S. food supply
No full textHighly pathogenic avian influenza has affected poultry consumption in all affected countries as well as some countries that have not been affected. If, as some predict, there is an outbreak of avian influenza in poultry in the U.S., there will likely be serious repercussions on the entire food system.To predict what might happen if avian influenza emerged in poultry or wild birds in the U.S. researchers at the Food Policy Institute at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, conducted a national survey of public knowledge, attitudes, intentions, and behaviors related to the threat of avian influenza in the food supply.MethodologyA total of 1200 telephone interviews, lasting an average of 22 minutes, were completed between May 3, and June 5, 2006.2 The survey sample was selected through a random digit dial list. The sample selection procedures ensure that every household within the United States has an equal chance to be included in the survey. Each selected number was called a maximum of 15 times with calls distributed across days and times to try to reach a member of the household. The data was weighted using appropriate U.S. census weights for gender, age, race, ethnicity, and education. The cooperation rate was 60%. This paper summarizes the findings of the survey.Rutgers Food Policy Institute (FPI) Research Report RR-1106-01
