Jorge Luis Borges e a reinvenção poética da entrevista
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura.O escritor argentino Jorge Luis Borges concedeu um extenso número de entrevistas nas suas últimas três décadas de vida, que aqui se propõem sejam consideradas como parte significativa de sua obra. Para tanto, verifica-se a sua tomada de posição diante da entrevista e da conversa, os jogos que realiza durante o evento do diálogo, as suas aventuras com a palavra e as incursões que promove pela narrativa e pelo ensaísmo. O que se descobre é que Borges singulariza a entrevista como uma experiência estética. Na medida em que faz dela um meio de reflexão colaborativa e criativa, coloca em xeque as tentativas de definição e de categorização de campos como a entrevista, a conversa e o ensaísmo. Ao final, vislumbra-se como Borges não apenas realiza o potencial poético da entrevista como ainda, através dela, renova o ensaísmo, fazendo do diálogo um de seus projetos literários finais
Cesário Verde e Jorge Luis Borges: perspectivas literárias de cidade
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura, Florianópolis, 2014.A partir da noção de cidade, considerando a relação que há entre o sujeito e a sua polis, propomos uma travessia pelos poemas de Cesário Verde, poeta português, e pelas três primeiras obras poéticas de Jorge Luis Borges, poeta argentino, com o intuito de apontar as convergências e as divergências que podem ser percebidas nos poemas. O modo como a simbolização das transformações em direção ao moderno perpassam os poemas dos autores, mostra-nos que as cidades em questão, Lisboa e Buenos Aires, estão longe de serem cidades perfeitas. A presença de dois olhares distintos em relação ao mesmo foco, a cidade, nos levou a pensar sobre o sentimento do sujeito em relação à sua cidade e ao seu sentimento de pertença a um espaço sempre mutável.Abstract : From the concept of city, taking into account the relation between the subjects and their polis, this paper proposes a journey through the poems of Cesário Verde, a Portuguese poet, and the three first poems of Jorge Luis Borges, an Argentinian poet, with the purpose to show the convergences and divergences that can be noticed through such poems. The way how the symbolization of transformations towards modernity permeates these authors? poems shows us that the cities under consideration (Lisbon and Buenos Aires) are far away from being perfect cities. The presence of two distinct views about the same focus, the city, took us to think over the subjects? feelings in relation to the city and their feeling of belonging to a constantly changing space
Enhancing maficity of granitic magma during anatexis: Entrainment of infertile mafic lithologies
No full textMost studies of migmatites examine how anatexis occurred in the most fertile units and what happened to that melt, whereas the associated minor lithologies are typically ignored. The Kinawa migmatite in the southern São Francisco Craton of Brazil is the product of water-fluxed melting of a leucogranodiorite that contained dykes of amphibolite. The migmatite consists mostly of pink diatexites, metatexites and leucosomes, but it also contains schollen of amphibolite. This study examines the behaviour of these minor mafic rocks during anatexis to determine what role they play in the formation of migmatites and development of granitic magmas in their source region.The amphibolites are massive or banded Hbl+Pl, and rarely Hbl+Pl+Cpx, schollen in the diatexite migmatite. The amphibolite schollen melted very little, and show a complex morphology suggesting mechanical and chemical interaction with the enclosing leucocratic pink diatexite migmatite. Diatexites and leucosomes immediately adjacent to the schollen have a considerably higher proportion of amphibole (up to 12%) and/or biotite (up to 10%) compared with the diatexite a few tens of centimeters farther away. Six stages of disaggregation and interaction of mafic schollen with the enclosing diatexite magma are recognized: (1) amphibolite layers break up to form schollen, but are mineralogically and texturally unchanged; (2) melt infiltrates into fractures and foliation in the schollen; (3) schollen disaggregate into swarms of single amphibole crystals within the diatexites; (4) amphibole is partially replaced by biotite; (5) flow of the enclosing diatexite magma arranges the detached amphibole crystals into schlieren and aggregates of biotite; (6) detached crystals are completely replaced by biotite and dispersed by magmatic flow to produce a mesocratic to melanocratic homogeneous diatexite. Geochemical modelling indicates that the composition of the diatexites and leucosomes is changed by the wholesale entrainment of the disaggregated mafic schollen or in some cases by the preferential entrainment of detached hornblende or plagioclase crystals. This contamination increases the maficity of initially felsic, leucodiatexite magma, by the addition of FeO+MgO, CaO and TiO2 (which results in a concomitant decrease in SiO2), to become a mesocratic to melanocratic diatexite magma that is comparable with typical I-type granites found around the world. Entrainment of mafic material and hornblende in particular strongly influences the behaviour of the rare earth elements, lowering LaN/YbN ratios. Thus, non-protolith mafic lithologies within migmatites represent a source of contamination for anatectic melts that results in a significant increase in maficity
Evidence for Paleoproterozoic anatexis and crustal reworking of Archean crust in the São Francisco Craton, Brazil: A dating and isotopic study of the Kinawa migmatite
No full textNew SHRIMP U-Pb zircon dating indicates that, contrary to previous thought, part of the Archean crust in the southern São Francisco Craton (SFC), NW of the Jeceaba Bom Sucesso Lineament was affected by the Paleoproterozoic Transamazonian orogeny. The Kinawa migmatite is a reworked part of the Archean crust in the southern SFC, and occurs within the Cláudio Shear Zone, a NE-NW crustal-scale structure. The protolith of the migmatite is a metagranodiorite that has an U-Pb zircon crystallization age of 2704 ± 3 Ma coeval with the voluminous potassic magmatism in the region. Moreover, the εHf(t=2704) data suggests a slightly evolved crust (−1.5 to −6.1) and thus a relatively long crustal residence (∼700 Ma). Surprisingly, the migmatite itself yielded much younger ages of 2034 ± 32 Ma and 2048 ± 25 Ma, which coincide with the ages of the Mineiro Belt and Mantiqueira Complex. The distribution of ages using data from the literature and this study show that within the Archean domain the occurrence of Paleoproterozoic ages is restricted to the Cláudio Shear Zone. Inherited zircon crystals from all samples yield Neoarchean ages (∼2.7 Ga), and similar Hf signatures to the metagranodiorite protolith (εHf(t=2704) = −5.5 to −0.5). The εHf(t) signatures of the Kinawa migmatite are heterogeneous and record two events, one is interpreted to be the formation of the protolith with lower 176Hf/177Hf (at ∼2.7 Ga) and the other with higher 176Hf/177Hf (at ∼2.05 Ga) as the anatexis that produced the migmatite. An important result is that the migmatite had two sources. Two samples are consistent with derivation from an evolved crust comparable with the metagranodiorite protolith (e.g. 176Lu/177Hf ∼0.01 and εHf(t=2034) −13.4 to −17), but the other sample has much less negative values (εHf(t=2048) = −4.6 to −8.7), which requires a different source with much lower 176Lu/177Hf, and therefore younger, possibly Post-Archean material
Crustal reworking in a shear zone: Transformation of metagranite to migmatite
No full textThis study uses field, microstructural and geochemical data to investigate the processes contributing to the petrological diversity that arises when granitic continental crust is reworked. The Kinawa migmatite formed when Archean TTG crust in the São Francisco Craton, Brazil was reworked by partial melting at ~730 °C and 5-6 kbar in a regional-scale shear zone. As a result, a relatively uniform leucogranodiorite protolith produced compositionally and microstructurally diverse diatexites and leucosomes. All outcrops of migmatite display either a magmatic foliation, flow banding or transposed leucosomes and indicate strong, melt-present shearing. There are three types of diatexite. Grey diatexites are interpreted to be residuum, although melt segregation was incomplete in some samples. Biotite stable, H2O-fluxed melting is inferred via the reaction Pl + Kfs + Qz + H2O = melt and geochemical modelling indicates 0.35-0.40 partial melting. Schlieren diatexites are extremely heterogeneous; residuum-rich domains alternate with leucocratic quartzofeldspathic domains. Homogeneous diatexites have the highest SiO2 and K2O contents and are coarse-grained, leucocratic rocks. Homogeneous diatexites, quartzofeldspathic domains from the schlieren diatexites and the leucosomes contain both plagioclase-dominated and K-feldspar-dominated feldspar framework microstructures and hence were melt-derived rocks. Both types of feldspar frameworks show evidence of tectonic compaction. Modelling the crystallization of an initial anatectic melt shows plagioclase appears first; K-feldspar appears after ~40% crystallization. In the active shear zone setting, shear-enhanced compaction provided an essentially continuous driving force for segregation. Thus, Kinawa migmatites with plagioclase frameworks are interpreted to have formed by shear-enhanced compaction early in the crystallization of anatectic melt, whereas those with K-feldspar frameworks formed later from the expelled fractionated melt. Trace element abundances in some biotite and plagioclase from the fractionated melt-derived rocks indicate that these entrained minerals were derived from the wall rocks. Results from the Kinawa migmatites indicate that the key factor in generating petrological diversity during crustal reworking is that shear-enhanced compaction drove melt segregation throughout the period that melt was present in the rocks. Segregation of melt during melting produced residuum and anatectic melt and their mixtures, whereas segregation during crystallization resulted in crystal fractionation and generated diverse plagioclase-rich rocks and fractionated melts

W. H. Hudson in the Readings of Jorge Luis Borges
No full textW.H. Hudson en las lecturas de Jorge Luis BorgesWilliam Henry Hudson (1841-1922) es un autor en lengua inglesa. Si bien nació y se crio en Argentina, se radicó en Londres a los treinta y tres años y vivió allí hasta su muerte, acaecida medio siglo después. Se consideraba a sí mismo un escritor inglés e ideológicamente un súbdito de la corona. Las condiciones de su crianza en el entorno rural pampeano, así como la temática criolla de muchas de sus obras, fueron acentuadas por la recepción argentina, desde donde se reivindicó el origen ?gaucho? de Hudson y se convirtió al autor en una suerte de emblema de la cultura nacional (comparable con figuras como Sarmiento, Hernández, Lugones o Güiraldes).En Argentina, su recepción fue póstuma y la puesta en valor de su figura se produjo a principios de los años treinta con las primeras traducciones de su obra. A lo largo del siglo XX, diversos sectores del campo intelectual argentino (en especial la oligarquía criollista) hicieron uso de Hudson como emblema cultural de la identidad nacional, particularmente a través de las lecturas críticas de autores canónicos como Jorge Luis Borges, Ezequiel Martínez Estrada, Samuel Glusberg (también conocido como Enrique Espinoza), Horacio Quiroga, Luis Franco y, más recientemente, Ricardo Piglia. ¿Qué razones tiene Borges para encabezar, entre otros intelectuales, la canonización de Hudson entre las décadas del veinte y el cuarenta, proceso que en la época llegaría a adquirir las proporciones de una campaña cultural? ¿Qué lo lleva, además, a insistir en incluir a Hudson dentro del canon literario argentino, a pesar de tratarse de un autor en lengua inglesa? Resumiendo, ¿qué busca Borges en Hudson y por qué lo hace argentino?Proponemos aquí un abordaje de la lectura emblematizadora que hace Jorge Luis Borges, a lo largo de su obra crítica, en torno a la figura de Hudson. Buscaremos el funcionamiento de esta representación discursiva sobre el autor anglo-argentino en tres elementos claves para afrontar nuestros interrogantes: (a) la anglofilia propia del proyecto creador borgeano, (b) las formaciones imaginarias provenientes del criollismo que nacionalizaron a Hudson, y (c) la representación, típica en Borges, de la lectura como una experiencia cuyos alcances sólo se restringen al plano de lo individual: Borges como ?lector hedónico?.Borges fue un agente estratégico del campo literario de su época y gran parte de sus campañas de difusión (en especial de autores anglosajones, como Chesterton, Carlyle o Machen) se relacionaban estrechamente con su intención de abrir un horizonte de legibilidad y canonización para su propia obra (en tanto que introducir la legitimidad cultural de estos textos en Argentina implica también habilitarlos como intertextos para su propia obra). Hudson no es la excepción en este sentido y veremos cómo Borges se identifica con la ambigüedad identitaria hudsoniana, así como también utiliza la obra del naturalista para sentar su propia postura con respecto a la tradición literaria de la gauchesca.Para abordar nuestras preguntas, haremos uso de una serie de conceptos: frontera (término con el cual matizaremos las connotaciones binaristas y lineales del concepto de biculturalismo) y canon literario, entendido como sistema de configuración de legitimaciones culturales.William Henry Hudson (1841-1922) is an English language writer. Although he was born and raised in Argentina, he settled in London at 33 years old and lived there until his death. He considered himself an English writer and, ideologically, a subject of the Crown. The conditions of his upbringing in the rural Pampean environment, as well as the criollo thematic of much of his work, were emphasized by the Argentine reception, from which Hudson’s gaucho origin was claimed, turning the author in a sort of emblem of national culture (parallel to figures such as Sarmiento, Hernández, Lugones or Güiraldes). We propose here an approach to the emblematizing reading Jorge Luis Borges carries out throughout his critical work regarding Hudson. We will search for the functioning of this discursive representation about the Anglo- Argentine author in three key elements: (a) the Anglophilia of the Borgean creative project, (b) the imaginary formations coming from the criollismo that were responsible for Hudson’s nationalization, and (c) the representation, typical in Borges, of reading as an experience whose scope is only restricted to the field of the individual: Borges as an “hedonic reader”.Fil: Lencina, Eva Verónica.

The reception of W. Somerset Maugham's works
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão.Este trabalho objetiva estudar a posição do romancista inglês W. Somerset Maugham na literatura contemporânea de seu país. Se por um lado Maugham nunca foi definitivamente rotulado como um simples escritor de best-sellers, por outro lado nunca lhe foi atribuído o status de grande escritor. Ele se mantém numa espécie de posição ambígua na literatura inglesa. Reforçando essa situação há ainda o fato de que alguns de seus romances, embora tenham sido tão populares, na época de seu lançamento, quanto os modernos best-sellers têm experimentado uma duração que não é usual nesse tipo de literatura. Ao analisar a recepção crítica de seis de seus romances, um de cada fase de sua carreira literária, baseado em alguns princípios da estética da recepção de Hans Robert Jauss, nós identificamos os elementos que foram especialmente relevantes na definição do status literário de Maugham. Além disso, conforme ainda é previsto na teoria de Jauss, nós também apontamos algumas mudanças de interesse nos estudos literários que indicam um ressurgimento e possivelmente uma reavaliação da obra de Maugham no futuro

Borges, Rosimeire Aparecida Soares II. Circulação e apropriação do ideário do Movimento da Matemática Moderna nas séries iniciais: as revistas pedagógicas no Brasil e em Portugal.A presente tese teve por objetivo analisar a dinâmica de circulação e apropriação do Movimento da Matemática Moderna (MMM) no Ensino Primário no Brasil e em Portugal, a partir das revistas pedagógicas destinadas aos docentes desse nível de ensino. Sendo a imprensa pedagógica de grande relevância para a História da Educação, elegeram-se para análise, na presente investigação, artigos publicados nos periódicos pedagógicos do Brasil e de Portugal, no período do Movimento da Matemática Moderna (1955 a 1985). A sustentação teórica para analisar essas fontes baseou-se nas ideias de autores como Ferreira (2008), Nóvoa (1993), Carvalho (2006), Julia (2001), Viñao (2000) e Chartier (1991), o que permitiu avaliar como os diversos discursos sobre a Matemática Moderna foram edificados. Após análises e comparações, o que se pode dizer é que, no âmbito do Ensino Primário, os discursos veiculados preconizaram uma matemática fundamentada na Teoria dos Conjuntos e na Lógica Matemática, com ênfase no uso da linguagem simbólica e nos aspectos metodológicos na prescrição dos materiais concretos para esse ensino. Nesses discursos defendeu-se, categoricamente, um ensino-aprendizagem da Matemática, fundamentado na teoria psicogenética de Jean Piaget. Em ambos os países, os discursos veiculados nas revistas pedagógicas levaram aos professores primários informações sobre a ―nova matemática‖ que, juntamente com novas metodologias de ensino, foram experimentadas. Embora com características diversas entre si, os periódicos pedagógicos estudados contribuíram para a difusão de concepções e apropriações de ideias sintonizadas com os reformistas do ensino da Matemática, tendo em vista transmitir aos professores leitores os saberes necessários para a formação das crianças. As várias possibilidades apontadas pelos professores autores dos artigos publicados nas revistas pedagógicas do Brasil e de Portugal revelam suas apropriações do MMM, porém, os indícios e direcionamentos encontrados podem levar à realização de outras investigações que apresentem características de como a Matemática Moderna chegou às práticas pedagógicas em sala de aula nos dois países
