Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Odetenema Bezerra & Pape & Hauquier & Vanreusel 2021, gen. nov.
No full textGenus Odetenema gen. nov. Diagnosis: Body slender, tapering towards both extremities. Cuticle strongly annulated anteriorly and posteriorly, without desmens. Mid body cuticle almost smooth. Row of thick somatic setae on peduncles, ventrally, on the last body third, from the spicules directed to the anterior end. Cephalic region longer than wide, with cuticularised walls on lateral view. Cephalic setae on small peduncles. Smooth labial surface. Labial ring just anterior the cephalic setae peduncles. Buccal cavity small and unarmed. Amphidial fovea large and vesicular. Pharynx cylindrical. Anterior pharyngeal part surrounded by elongated glands. Pigment spots in different sizes at the anterior part of the intestine. Male reproductive system diorchic, with posterior testis reflexed. Spicules slightly arcuate, distally tapered, without capitulum. Gubernaculum without apophysis. Female reproductive system didelphic, amphidelphic with outstretched ovaries. Phasmata laterally, on the last third of the tail. Tail conical. Caudal glands opening in two separate tubular outlets. Type species: Odetenema gesarae sp. nov. Differential diagnosis: Comparing with the other genera of the subfamily Tricominae, the very large number of body rings with great difference between dorsal and ventral body side and absence of desmen point the new genus towards Paratricoma but without ornamentation of the body rings. The shape of the end ring with two tubular outlets is unique to the Tricominae. Etymology: The genus is named in honour of Odete Campinas Bezerra, mother of the first author.Published as part of Bezerra, Tania Nara, Pape, Ellen, Hauquier, Freija & Vanreusel, Ann, 2021, Description and distribution of Erebussau nom. nov. pro Erebus Bussau, 1993 nec Erebus Latreille, 1810 with description of a new specie, and of Odetenema gesarae gen. nov., sp. nov.

Author-reader relationship at the site of the work
No full textWithin the format of a critical exegesis and four original works of extended prose fiction, this thesis explores the interaction between the author and reader and argues that literary meaning is the outcome of shifts of power between these two entities. It concludes that because these shifts in power are orchestrated by the author, the author is relevant to understanding how meaning is produced
