Orizzonti mantovani. Spunti e dinamiche paesaggistiche ne L'Illustrissimo di Alberto Cantoni
No full textIn the literary production of Alberto Cantoni, short story writer and novelist between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the novel L'Illustrissimo is highly important both because it is the last publication of the author, from Pomponesco, a small town a few kilometers south of Mantua, both because it summarizes in a single text the different nuances and different directions that his writing has taken over the course of his literary career, also due to a writing and processing time that embraces the entire span of years of his career itself. In the foreground, in addition to the numerous and brilliant characters, one of the protagonists is the Mantuan landscape which, not a simple background, becomes a true literary parameter which in different and significant ways affects the purposes and mechanisms of the novel

Cheek with a white ocellus surrounded by black. Fins orange. Colour of preserved material Head and body yellowish white, with 10 – 13 narrow vertical brownish bars (Figure 1). Nape with small white spots. Cheek with a white ocellus surrounded by black, and with a small black spot in the middle. Fins translucent. Etymology Tonstricula (Latin) means little female barber. The name refers to the cleaning behaviour of the new species. Comparison The Diplecogaster-ctenocrypta group, comprising the species D. ctenocrypta and D. tonstricula n. sp., is characterised by a high number of 9 rays in the dorsal fin and 8 in the anal fin (other species of the genus: 4 – 8 rays in the dorsal fin, 3 – 7 rays in the anal fin), and the position of the anus which is situated closer to the anal-fin origin than to the end of the disc (other species of the genus: situated in the middle between disc and anal-fin origin). Species of the group are further distinguished from D. bimaculata, D. euxinica and D. pectoralis in having 14 – 15 caudal-fin rays (18 – 21 in D. bimaculata, D. euxinica and D. pectoralis), and lacking lateral papillae in disc region A (many lateral papillae present in D. bimaculata, D. euxinica and D. pectoralis), and from D. megalops in 13 – 16 rakers on third gill arch (7 – 9 rakers in D. megalops). Diplecogaster tonstricula n. sp. differs from D. ctenocrypta by having the pelvic disc without lateral papillae in region A (lateral papillae present in D. ctenocrypta), disc region B with 2 rows of papillae (5 rows in D. ctenocrypta), lacking mandibular pores (one mandibula pore present in D. ctenocrypta), principal caudal-fin rays 14 – 15 (16 rays in D. ctenocrypta), the interorbital distance 4.1 – 4.6 in head length (5.4 in head length in D. ctenocrypta), the distance between disc and anus 14 – 17% of SL (19% of SL in D. ctenocrypta), and 13 – 16 rakers on third gill arch (18 in D. ctenocrypta). The live colour pattern of D. ctenocrypta is unknown, but the holotype is pale, without traces of bands, while the head and body of Diplecogaster tonstricula n. sp. is covered with 10 – 13 bars. The species of Diplecogaster may be distinguished with an identification key (see above). Counts and proportions of the species of the genus are compared in Table 1. Distribution and habitat Eastern Atlantic Ocean: Canary Islands (El Hierro, Tenerife, Fuerteventura), Senegal (Dakar). Probably more widespread in the region. The species was collected and observed at 10 – 38 m depth, mainly on hard substrate. It was observed to act as a facultative cleaner of larger fishes (Figure 5, Senegal, cleaning a muraenid, Gymnothorax afer; Brito et al. (2002, figures 364 – 366), Canary Islands, cleaning a muraenid and a serranid). Remarks The new species was classified in the genus Diplecogaster as it agrees with the generic characters given by Briggs (1955) as 3½ gills, the gill membranes attached to the isthmus, the disc double, the dorsal and anal fins with strong rays, normal, the subopercular region without a spine, 24 – 25 pectoral fin rays, the absence of incisors or welldeveloped canines, and 13 – 16 rakers on the third gill arch. It is a member of the Diplecogaster-ctenocrypta group (comprising D. ctenocrypta and D. tonstricula n. sp.), which is characterised within the genus by a high number of 9 rays in the dorsal fin and 8 rays in the anal fin, and the position of the anus which is situated closer to the anal-fin origin than to the end of the disc. The species was first described and illustrated by Brito et al. (2002, p. 281, figures 364 – 366) from the Canary islands, but it was confused by authors with Diplecogaster ctenocrypta Briggs 1955. A recent examination of the holotype of that deep-water species (ZMUC P9037) provided evidence that this is a separate species. Cleaning behaviour has previously been observed in other gobiesocid fishes. Patzner and Debelius (1984) photographed a specimen of Diplecogaster bimaculata cleaning a moray eel, Muraena helena. Hutchins (1991) described Cochleoceps bicolor from southern and south-western Australia, and C. orientalis from south-eastern Australia, as setting up cleaning stations to remove parasites of other teleosts. Weitzmann and Mercader (2012) reported an observation of Lepadogaster candolii in the north-western Mediterranean Sea which was cleaning a grouper, Epinephelus marginatus.Published as part of Fricke, Ronald, Wirtz, Peter & Brito, Alberto, 2015, Diplecogaster tonstricula, a new species of cleaning clingfish (Teleostei: Gobiesocidae) from the Canary Islands and Senegal, eastern Atlantic Ocean, with a review of the Diplecogaster-ctenocrypta species-group, pp. 731-748 in Journal of Natural History 50 on pages 737-743, DOI: 10.1080/00222933.2015.1079659, http://zenodo.org/record/398973

O duplo significado do sentir e do pensar nas obras de Alberto Caeiro e Descartes
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-Graduação em LiteraturaA pretensão desta dissertação intitulada O duplo significado do sentir e do pensar nas obras de Alberto Caeiro e Descartes é investigar a relação entre o sentir e o puro pensar, usando como referência a poesia O Guardador de Rebanhos, de Alberto Caeiro, que apresenta de forma evidente o tema; e como este assunto é tratado nas Meditações Metafísicas de René Descartes, também de forma claramente visível. Podemos perceber em ambos os autores, uma diplopia, uma espécie de duplo olhar sobre a relação sentir e puro pensar. No primeiro capítulo vou falar sobre a tese do duplo olhar de Descartes, a respeito da relação sentir e puro pensar na leitura de Merleau-Ponty, salientando a visão de natureza. No segundo capítulo, parto da leitura das três primeiras Meditações Metafísicas para caracterizar a tensão que se pode verificar entre Descartes e Alberto Caeiro quando se referem ao puro pensar. O foco principal de Descartes, nas três primeiras Meditações, é o pensar puro, e neste ponto Alberto Caeiro critica o pensar puro. No terceiro capítulo, analisando as três últimas Meditações, percebe-se que há uma virada no pensamento de Descartes, no qual o autor inverte seu ponto de vista, aproximando-se da idéia de Alberto Caeiro. No quarto capítulo, mostrarei a leitura que outros autores fazem acerca do sentir e do pensar na obra de Alberto Caeiro, mostrando que assim como Descartes, este também ostenta uma diplopia, não do sentir, mas do pensar. The pretension of this work entitled O duplo significado do sentir e do pensar nas obras de Alberto Caeiro e Descartes is to investigate the relationship between the feeling and the pure thinking, using as reference the poetry O Guardador de Rebanhos, by Alberto Caeiro, that presents in an evident way this theme; and as this subject is treated in René Descartes' Metaphysical Meditations, also in a clearly visible way. It is possible to notice in both authors, the diplopy, a sort of double look about the relationship between feeling and pure thinking. The thesis about Descartes'double look regarding the relation of feeling and pure thinking, in Merleau-Ponty reading, pointing out the nature vision, will be treated in the first chapter. In the second chapter, I start from the reading of the first three Metaphysical Meditations to characterize the tension that can be verified between Descartes and Alberto Caeiro when they refer to the pure thinking. Descartes' main focus in the first three Meditations is pure thinking and, in this point, Alberto Caeiro criticizes pure thinking. In the third chapter, analyzing the last three Meditations, it is possible to notice that there is an alteration in Descartes' thought, in which the author inverts his point of view, approaching of Alberto Caeiro's idea. In the fourth chapter, I will show the reading that other authors do concerning feeling and thinking in Alberto Caeiro's work, showing that as well as Descartes, this also shows a diplopy, not of feeling, but of thinking

Lobbying for change as a new theory and practice of active citizenship: author interview with Alberto Alemanno
No full textDo you believe that lobbying is a vehicle for representing the interests of some rather than all, meaning its actors can never be a force for good? Alberto Alemanno, author of Lobbying for Change: Find Your Voice to Create a Better Society, might convince you of the contrary. This interview with Barbara Aubin, LSE Public Affairs, reflects on the importance of engaging with our political representatives, holding them accountable and lobbying for the causes we deeply care about as fundamental elements of a healthy democracy
O LETRAMENTO PARA ALUNOS SURDOS: METODOLOGIAS EM USO
No full textEste trabalho pretende refletir sobre o letramento de alunos surdos, que são, muitas vezes, tratados como sujeitos linguisticamente deficientes, incapazes de expressar com clareza uma ideia por escrito ou de compreenderem o que leem. Neste artigo, tecemos algumas considerações, orientadas pela literatura de estudiosos como Balieiro (2008), Brito (1993), Damazio, (2005), Gesueli (1988) e Kober (2008), a fim de investigar metodologias de letramento utilizadas pelos professores para alunos surdos, avaliar os benefícios do letramento bilíngue para eles e investigar a utilização de métodos visuais de ensino. Os resultados desta pesquisa mostram que os métodos orais, utilizados na maioria das escolas públicas, não têm contribuído para o desenvolvimento cognitivo da pessoa surda, enquanto a Língua Brasileira de Sinais possibilita a eles competências comunicativas fundamentais
