Entre tralhas e traumas de guerra: o gesto testemunhal da escritora Paulina Chiziane
Full text linkTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura, Florianópolis, 2015.A literatura da escritora moçambicana Paulina Chiziane dialoga com a História de seu país, ao abordar o período colonial, a Luta de Libertação  que culminou com a independência, em 1975  e a guerra civil, que teve fim somente em 1992. A partir da análise de dois romances, Ventos do Apocalipse e O Alegre Canto da Perdiz, enfocamos o tema central desta tese: o testemunho ficcional que a autora constrói nessas obras. Com base na História, na Psicanálise, nos Estudos Pós-Coloniais e nos Estudos de Gênero, analisamos, no rastro da história colonial de Moçambique, a complexa teia de relações mantida entre colonizados e colonizadores e o papel das mulheres nessas relações. Ainda, no âmbito da Luta de Libertação e da guerra civil, descortinamos a ação das mulheres nessas guerras, de modo a analisar as estratégias de gênero utilizadas por elas antes e após os conflitos. Tomando como parâmetro os papéis de gênero ocupados pelas mulheres militantes das ditaduras do Cone Sul, analisamos a atuação das mulheres combatentes do Destacamento Feminino criado pela Frelimo. Em relação ao testemunho sobre as guerras produzido pela escritora nos referidos romances, a tese contribui também para discutirmos a constituição do gênero do testemunho, em sua vertente europeia, e partirmos para uma formulação de testemunho ancorada na existência de memórias e de pós-memórias, como postula Marianne Hirsch (2012).Abstract : The literature of the Mozambican writer Paulina Chiziane dialogues with the History of her country, approaching the colonial period, the Liberation Struggle - which ended with independence in 1975 - and the civil war ended only in 1992. From the analysis of two novels, Ventos do Apocalipse and O Alegre Canto da Perdiz, we focused on this thesis' central theme: the fictional testimony that the author builds in these works. Based on History, in Psychoanalysis, in Post-Colonial Studies and Gender Studies, we analyze in the wake of Mozambique's colonial history, the complex web of relationships maintained between colonized and colonizers and the women's role in these relationships. Even within the Liberation Struggle and the civil war, we disclose the women share in these wars in order to analyze gender strategies used by them before and after conflicts. Taking as parameter gender roles occupied by activists women of the Southern Cone of Latin America dictatorships, we analyze the participation of the combatants women of Female Deployment created by Frelimo. Regarding the testimony about the wars produced by the writer in these novels, the thesis also contributes to discuss the testimony genre constitution, in its European dimension, and goes into a witness formulation anchored in the existence of memories and post-memories, as postulated by Marianne Hirsch (2012)

Paulina vegetation model: Current attenuation by salt marsh vegetation
No full textThe present report represents the second phase of my M.Sc. dissertation. The first phase concentrated on thorough data processing of field measurements in the Paulina Polder, see Kusters et al (2003) in Appendix A. For the present phase of my end thesis I have investigated the influence of vegetation on currents in a mudflat salt marsh ecosystem in the estuary of the Westerschelde. This has been done within the framework of the Delft Cluster research program 'ecomorphology' and is part of the project Biogeomorphology of estuaries and coasts. The main objective of this thesis is to explore and evaluate the application of Delft3D, a physically-based hydrodynamic model linked with sedimentation transport in an environment where vegetation is important, e.g. a salt marsh, against field data. Once validated this Delft3D model can be used to simulate flooding and sedimentation patterns in other tidal marshes in the estuary of the Westerschelde. In a next stage this modelling can be extended to long time geomorphologic evolution simulations. The study site is the Paulina Polder, situated in the estuary of the Westerschelde in the southwest of the Netherlands. The Paulina Polder is a typically Westerschelde mudflat-salt marsh ecosystem, characterised by an extended mudflat with rich benthic community and salt marsh vegetation that contains all gradual stages from pioneer to late successively. The extended and viable zone of pioneer vegetation mainly consists of common cord grass. The sandbanks in the middle of the Schelde protect the salt marsh from extreme hydrodynamic conditions. To study the impact of vegetation on the estuarine morphodynamics, on a scale of a salt marsh the 'Paulina vegetation model' was designed. This is a three dimensional Delft3D model with an implemented routine to include vegetation. This routine incorporates an adaptation of the vertical flow distribution, turbulence generation and dissipation based on a 1DV-model. The mudflat and salt marsh system is modelled by an almost rectangular grid using a semi diurnal tide on the open sea boundary. The vegetation input is dependant on the location of the different plant types, the vertical plant structure and the number of plants per vegetation area. An important conclusion of this study is that the designed Paulina vegetation model can be used to study the effects of vegetation on flow in an estuarine environment. To obtain the most realistic simulation results detailed information about the bathymetry and vegetation is needed. The most important conclusion from the sensitivity analysis is that because of the presence of vegetation the flow area reduces, forcing the water to be pushed to the outer layers. The area is even more reduced when the vegetation is denser and the vegetation is modelled with leafs. In the upper layers, where there is no vegetation anymore, the water can overflow the plants, the velocity as a function of time increases. To al lesser degree there is an increase in velocity in the bottom layer. The changes in flow area have considerable effects on the velocities in the water column. Another finding is that because of the vegetation and the flow resistance of the marsh the water chooses a different route, the vegetation free gully. In this research the effects of waves, wind, leafs and the bending of stems are left out of the computations. In future research these effects should be investigated. Careful thought is needed about the influence of the hydraulic roughness of the vegetation on the morphological development of the salt marsh, concerning the small flow velocities.Civil Engineering and Geoscience

Paulina Crusat: a silenced voice
No full textThe main purpose of this article is to rescue from oblivion the name of Paulina Crusat (Barcelona 1990-Sevilla 1981), translator, literary critic, and author of four excellent novels, who, unfairly, has not received much critical attention, and has been often ignored or considered by critics as “outside the canon”. The article reviews her biography and her literary work in order to evaluate her important contribution to the panorama of Spanish literature, based on the fact that she was an original writer who composed her work according to her principles, not subjected to the canon of that period
