The political though of Amilcar Cabral, 1979
No full textThe purpose of this .thesis is to examine the political thought of Amilcar Cabral. We will isolate the central elements of his political thought by textual analysis of primary and secondary works with particular emphasis on the writings of Cabral. In that Amilcar Cabral's thought developed through the movement for national liberation in Guine-Bissau, that movement will be explored to give clarity to our analysis. However, the emphasis remains on the genesis and development on Cabral's thought. We will identify the character of Cabral's political thought as a comprehensive political philosophy in the successive phases of the struggle to simultaneously achieve power and transform the Guinean reality. The major question asked is "what is Amilcar Cabral's political thought?" We intend to investigate whether or not Amilcar Cabral's political thought altered the political, social, and economic situation of Guine-Bissau. In the first chapter, we will try to identify who was Amilcar Cabral, the man. We will investigate his educational background, the social milieu in which his thought developed, and his personal history. We also will examine his character as the head of a movement for social change. In the second chapter, we intend to establish key environmental problems in the field of political thought. We will attempt to evaluate the role of philosophy and the nature of political theory as a field of inquiry. Subsequently, we intend to evaluate the condition of political thought specifically in Guine-Bissau prior to the national liberation movement. In the third chapter, we will briefly look at the history of Guine-Bissau and the political party started by Cabral, the African Party for Independence in Guine and Cape Verde (P.A.I.G.C.), We hope to illuminate the historical facts that distinguish and particularize the totality of conditions in Guine-Bissau. In the fourth chapter we will present Cabral's thought as a comprehensive analytical system. We intend to identify the core assumptions that actuate Cabral as a political thinker. We also intend to discuss the mechanisms he proposes to use in implementing political thought and the goals. he hopes to achieve by doing so. In the fifth chapter we will evaluate Cabral's political thought. We intend to analyze the components of his thought that distinguish him as a political thinker. We plan to determine if Cabral's thought altered the concrete conditions of GuineBissau that existed prior to its introduction. We will also examine the theoretical nature of Cabral's thought to assess its character as political theory. In the summary, we will relate the findings of our investigation of Amilcar Cabral's political thought. We hope to draw conclusions as to the method of inquiry practiced by Cabral. Finally, we will appraise the importance of Amilcar Cabral as a political thinker we hypothesize that the findings will confirm our underlying assumption that Cabral's thought is identifiable and significan
The truth of personal names
No full textPortuguese-speakers, when asked about their personal names, often respond with a notion of the
‘truth of’ their names. Basing itself on ethnographic data collected by the author in Macao (southern
China), Bahia (Brazil), and Portugal, the article interprets this notion of truth as a form of ontological
weighing that postulates the unitariness of the person by reference to a subjection to a bureaucratic
order and to a cultural and linguistic universe associated to it

Notas sobre poesia e leitor em João Cabral
No full textResumo: No ano seguinte ao lançamento de Pedra do sono (1942), de João Cabral de Melo Neto, Antonio Candido publica uma resenha sobre esse livro, na qual, além de pressentir acertadamente a grande promessa representada pelo poeta estreante e perceber as linhas mestras do livro, não deixa de lhe censurar o hermetismo e de chamar a atenção do autor para a necessidade de “elevar a pureza da sua emoção a valor corrente entre os homens” (CANDIDO, 2002, p. 141). Antes de Candido, Drummond, em janeiro de 1942, numa carta ao jovem poeta, já havia feito restrição semelhante à poesia do pernambucano, considerando-a muito hermética para o leitor comum. Cabral parece ter internalizado as censuras e as sugestões de seus primeiros leitores quanto à recepção da palavra poética e a elas “respondeu” em sua obra crítica e criativa. Neste trabalho, proponho acompanhar as soluções e tensões que estão na base das “respostas” cabralinas para o binômio poesia e leitor. Palavras-chave: João Cabral; poesia moderna; poesia brasileira; leitor. Abstract: In the year after the release of João Cabral de Melo Neto’s Pedra do sono (1942), Antonio Candido published a review of it in which he correctly perceived the great promise represented by the new poet and the guidelines of the book, as well as criticizing the hermeticism and calling the poet’s attention to the need of “bringing the purity of his emotion up to the current values of mankind” (CANDIDO, 2002, p. 141). Before Candido, Drummond in a letter to João Cabral written in January 1942 had already voiced similar restrictions to his poetry, considering it very hermetical for the common reader. Cabral seems to have taken in these criticisms and the suggestions from his first readers as to the reception of his poetry and “answered” them in his critical and creative work. In this paper, I intend to follow the solutions and tensions which are the basis of his “answers” to the pair constituted by poetry and the reader.

O engenheiro Joaquim Cardozo dentro do livro O engenheiro de João Cabral The Engineer Joaquim Cardozo on the Book / O engenheiro of João Cabral
No full textResumo: Em meio às composições coligidas no livro O engenheiro (1945), muita ênfase foi dada ao poema “A Carlos Drummond de Andrade”, ladeado pelo outro “A Joaquim Cardozo”, que quase não teve repercussão alguma. A partir do cotejo entre as duas homenagens poéticas, será feito o acompanhamento editorial do poema dedicado ao engenheiro profissional e poeta, para conferir o valor comunicativo de sua representação naquele contexto de pronunciamento específico. De igual modo, a análise deste poema será desenvolvida de acordo com suas variações ao longo da produção autoral de João Cabral de Melo Neto por meio das reedições do livro que o coligiu. Para tanto, serão acionadas a edição princeps do volume, sua reedição em Duas águas (1956) e a fixação do poema na década seguinte, quando as Poesias completas (1968) foram publicadas. Como contraponto ao perfil literário de Joaquim Cardozo esboçado pelo autor, será acionado o depoimento de Oscar Niemeyer em Minha experiência em Brasília (1961) sobre a atuação de seu amigo e engenheiro dileto no ofício comum a ambos.Palavras-chave: poesia brasileira moderna; crítica textual; João Cabral de Melo Neto; Joaquim Cardozo.Abstract: Among the poems collected in the book O engenheiro (1945), much emphasis was given to the poem “A Carlos Drummond de Andrade”, published by side of “A Joaquim Cardozo”, which had not almost any repercussion. From the comparison between the two poetic tributes, the editorial accompaniment of the poem dedicated to the engineer and poet will be made, to assign the communicative value of their representation in that context of specific pronouncement. Likewise, the analysis of this poem will be developed according to their variations throughout the authorial production of João Cabral de Melo Neto through the reissues of the book that collated it. To this end, the princeps edition of the volume, its reissue in Duas águas (1956) and the fixation of the poem in the following decade, when the Poesias completas (1968) was published. As a counterpoint to Joaquim Cardozo’s literary profile outlined by the author, Oscar Niemeyer’s testimony will be triggered in Minha experiência em Brasília (1961) about the performance of his friend and favorite engineer in the craft common to both.Keywords: modern Brazilian poetry; textual criticism; João Cabral de Melo Neto; Joaquim Cardozo
Recife: Modos de ver – João Cabral de Melo Neto leitor de Joaquim Cardozo / Recife: Ways of Seeing – João Cabral de Melo Neto Reads Joaquim Cardozo
No full textResumo: O presente artigo pretende investigar a influência do poeta e engenheiro calculista Joaquim Cardozo na obra de João Cabral de Melo Neto, reconstituindo o percurso dessa relação iniciada no Recife, no final dos anos 1930, e seus desdobramentos ao longo de mais de quatro décadas na produção cabralina. Espelhamentos e antagonismos serão ainda cotejados a partir da análise de poemas de ambos os poetas, em especial o modo como Cabral passa a articular elementos memorialísticos, representações do Recife e referências a Joaquim Cardozo em sua poética a partir de O engenheiro (1945).Palavras-chave: João Cabral de Melo Neto; Joaquim Cardozo; Recife; Poesia Brasileira.Abstract: This article searches to investigate the influence of the poet and engineer Joaquim Cardozo on João Cabral de Melo Neto’s work, rebuilding the course of this relationship that had begun in Recife, in the late 1930s, outspread along more than four decades in Cabral’s career. Correspondences and differences will be present in the analysis of poems of both writers, especially in the way that Cabral articulates memories, representations of Recife and references to Joaquim Cardozo in his poetics since O engenheiro (1945).Keywords: João Cabral de Melo Neto; Joaquim Cardozo; Recife; Brazilian poetry
Clusia nitida Bittrich & F. N. Cabral 2013, sp. nov.
No full textClusia nitida Bittrich & F. N. Cabral, sp. nov. (sect. Phloianthera) (Fig. 1 & Fig. 2) Diagnosis: Similar to Clusia microstemon, but dry leaves are darker coloured and generally have a shiny surface, the latex channels are denser on the adaxial surface, the midrib is conspicuous as far as to the apex, the petal colour is different and anthers are absent on the lateral part of the disk-like androecium. The new species is also similar to Clusia myriandra from which it differs by the leaf shape, the visibility of the latex channels on the leaves, the shorter peduncle and basal internodes in the inflorescence, the size of the fruits and the lesser number of seeds. Type:— BRAZIL. Roraima: Caracaraí, Parque Nacional do Viruá, White-sand vegetation, 1º24’50.7”N, 60º59’16.5”W, 59 m, 15 October 2010, F.N. Cabral & V . S. Santos 298 (holotype INPA!). Trees, small trees or shrubs up to 6 m tall; sometimes with prop roots. Plants dioecious, latex white or cream; young branches cylindrical or more frequently subangular, surface not rugulose, but finely sulcate or with tiny longitudinal foldings, linear colleters present in the petiole axils, deciduous with the leaves. Petiole 4.0–16.0(– 17.0) mm long, margin flat to revolute. Leaf blade coriaceous, discolorous, adaxial surface dark brown and shiny in sicco, oblong-elliptic, 40–85(–108) mm long and (18–)21–49(–53) mm wide, apex rounded, base attenuate, margin revolute; midrib prominent on the adaxial surface and conspicuous as far as the apex, secondary veins prominent on both surfaces, with (9–)12–26(–29) pairs, 1.5–4.0 mm distant from each other and at an angle of 35º–40º with the midrib, basal veins inconspicuous; latex canals concolorous on the adaxial surface or slightly darker than the blade, immersed, 0.3–0.7 mm distant from each other, flat to protruding on the abaxial surface, 0.8–1.0 mm distant from each other, forming an angle of about 25º with the midrib. Inflorescence cymose, compact, 3–9-flowered (staminate plants) or 3–7-flowered (pistillate plants), bracts and bracteoles united at the base, hemiorbicular, ca. 2 mm long, pedicels very short, ca. 2 mm long, quadrangular. Epicalyx bracts 2 (+2), united at base, sepals 4 (2+2), rarely 5 or 6 (2+3, 3+3), ± suborbicular, ca. 4–8 mm long and 4–8 mm wide. Petals 5–8, 6–13 x 6–12 mm, dark bordeaux or blood-red. Staminate flower with the androecium forming a thick, circular, flat disk, ca. 3–6 mm wide, composed of about 300 densely compact stamens, the upper surface covered by a mixture of resin and pollen during anthesis, filaments 2.3–3.0 mm long, lateral region of the disk without anthers, anther dehiscence by apical or transverse slits. Pistillate flower with 3 or 4 series of staminodes around the base of the ovary, secreting resin at the apex; staminodes linear, 1.3–2.0 mm long, truncated at the apex, without sterile anthers; stigmas 4 or 5, apical, yellowish, obtusely triangular, flat, 2.5 mm long; ovary yellow, ovules 1 or 2(–3) per locule. Immature fruit oval to hemispherical, 15–22 x 13–19 mm, usually finely longitudinally striate with latex canals; sepals, staminodes and stigmas persistent, valve endocarp not conspicuously hardened. Seeds 1 or 2(–3) per locule, 5.0–9.0 x 3.5–5.0 mm, green, aril orange. Comparison: —The most similar species is C. microstemon Planchon & Triana (1860: 331), which sometimes occurs sympatrically, and with which C. nitida has been confused. It has a wide distribution in the Amazon. The main difference between the species is the male androecium, which in C. microstemon has anthers at the lateral side of the androecial disk, whereas C. nitida has anthers only on its top. Other differences include the darker colour and the glossy appearance of the leaf surfaces in sicco in C. nitida; the androecium size, which is larger in C. microstemon; the flower colour, in C. microstemon the petals are reddish to pinkish-purple in the centre and white-pink on the edge and the calyx is white-pink, while in C. nitida the petals are dark bordeaux or blood-red and the calyx is green; C. microstemon has 4 or 5 ovules per locule, whereas C. nitida has only 1 or 2(–3) ovules per locule; the fruits of C. microstemon are slightly ovoid and in C. nitida they are generally cylindrical, and finally, C. microstemon has a lower density of latex channels on the leaves than in C. nitida and the midrib becomes invisible in the apical part of the leaves. Another similar species is C. myriandra (Bentham 1843: 368) Planchon & Triana (1860: 332) from the Guianas, which has a very similar androecium. However, C. myriandra has elongated and oblanceolate leaves, unlike C. nitida, which has shorter and more rounded broader leaves; the latex channels of the leaves, which are easily visible in C. nitida, are invisible in the strongly coriaceous leaves of C. myriandra; the peduncle and the basal internodes in the inflorescence are much longer in C. myriandra, positioning the inflorescence above the foliage and C. myriandra has more elongated and larger fruits than C. nitida with 10 or more seeds per locule, while the fruit locules of C. nitida have only 1 or 2(–3). Etymology: —Latin nitidus = shiny, because the dried leaves generally have a conspicuously shiny surface, different from those of C. microstemon, the leaf surface of which is typically dull. Distribution and habitat: —In Brazil, Clusia nitida is known from the North Region, in the states of Amazonas and Roraima. Apparently, it has not yet been collected outside of Brazil. It mainly occurs in whitesand vegetation and at river margins in Amazonian lowlands. Additional specimens examined (paratypes): — BRAZIL.

João Cabral do Nascimento: a contemporary author erased from a certain family portrait
No full textJoão Cabral do Nascimento foi contemporâneo de artistas que, nos anos 1910-1920, procuraram a modernização dos seus sistemas culturais, através de discursos e projetos manifestamente modernistas. Esta sua contemporaneidade consubstanciou-se no convívio de Cabral de Nascimento com algumas figuras marcantes do período e na participação efetiva (e não raras vezes crítica) em alguns dos acontecimentos que, em Lisboa assim como em Coimbra e no Funchal, marcaram as diversas orientações dos Modernismos portugueses. Tomando de empréstimo, quer o verbo pessoano constellar-se quer a imagem (também benjaminiana) da constelação para pensar a relação entre textos e autores, neste artigo revisitam-se vários textos de teor cronístico e crítico de Cabral de Nascimento, para discutir a sua heterogénea contemporaneidade modernista e o silêncio que tem recaído sobre a obra do autor madeirense.João Cabral do Nascimento was a contemporary of some of the artists who, around the 1910s and the 1920s, sought to modernize their cultural systems, through modernist discourses and projects. This contemporaneity has been substantiated through Cabral de Nascimento’s contact with some of the most important artists of the period and through his effective participation (sometimes critical) in several of the events that, in Lisbon, as well as in Coimbra and Funchal, marked the different orientations of the Portuguese modernisms. Recovering both the Pessoan verb constellar-se, and the constellation image (also Benjaminian) to think about the relationship between texts and authors, this article revisits several chronicles and critical texts by Cabral de Nascimento, to discuss his heterogeneous modernist contemporaneity and the silence that has fallen on the work of the author from Madeira.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
