    No full text
    The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) judged in the Melo Tadeu case that the refusal of the authorities to undo the seizure of assets after a criminal acquittal, is disproportional, regardless whether the appeal was too late. The Melo Tadeu judgment implies mainly that the presumption of innocence remains in full force after a criminal acquittal. In this article the author discusses the Melo Tadeu judgment of the ECHR

    Resumo: A partir da colaboração entre Melo e Castro e Herberto Helder na direção do segundo número da revista PO.EX, de 1966, o texto propõe um diálogo entre os dois poetas quanto ao uso do método cibernético da combinação em suas poéticas. Toma-se inicialmente o contexto do pós-guerra, quando o método combinatório passa a ser chave de criação para os poetas. No fim do texto, chega-se à contemporaneidade, quando a tecnologia algorítmica parece controlar e conduzir destinos político-culturais. Nesse percurso, articulam-se algumas semelhanças e diferenças entre os usos da combinação pelos dois poetas, permitindo-nos pensar algumas contradições históricas na imbricação entre discurso poético e tecnologia, sendo infinito e segredo os elementos potencialmente políticos que as poéticas de Melo e Castro e Herberto Helder desenvolvem em suas combinações.Palavras-chave: infinito, segredo, combinação, Herberto Helder, Melo e Castro.Abstract: Based on the collaboration between Melo e Castro and Herberto Helder for the second issue of the PO.EX magazine, from 1966, the article proposes a dialogue between the two poets regarding the use of the cybernetic method of combination in their poetics. Initially, as of the post-war context, when the combinatorial method became the key of creation for some poets. In the conclusion, it reaches contemporary times, when algorithmic technology seems to control and drive political-cultural goals. Throughout the article, the author approaches some similarities and differences between the uses of the combination by the poets, enabling us to think some historical contradictions in the connection between poetic discourse and technology. This leads infinite and secret as potentially political elements in the Melo e Castro and Herberto Helder’s poetics of combination.Keywords: infinite, secret, combination, Herberto Helder, Melo e Castro

    A gramática filosófica de Bernardo de Lima e Melo Bacelar (1783)

    No full text
    The purpose of this article is to demonstrate the linguistic and pedagogical ideas present in the “Grammatica Philosophica da Língua Portugueza” (1783), by Bernardo de Lima e Melo Bacelar (ca.1736-post.1787), leaving from a critical reading of this Grammar book and an analysis about other researchers who have already studied it. The “Grammatica” is divided into three parts, according to the parts of the grammatical sentence and their functions in the sentence. These parts are subdivided into chapters. The author uses the case nomenclature to describe the terms of the sentences. His intention was to offer to the readers an innovative material, which could present the rules of the Portuguese language by a new methodology. Bacelar believed that a clear, precise and unambiguous communication would only be possible through the knowledge of these rules. As an attentive follower of Port-Royal’s rationalist ideas and of the Enlightenment, he also believed in the existence of an universal grammar. Although he was a great erudite of classical languages and of the Portuguese language, his job was underestimated by the scholars of his time. Unfortunately, he did not achieve his purpose of providing clarity in communication.A proposta deste artigo é demonstrar as ideias linguísticas e pedagógicas presentes na "Grammatica Philosophica da Língua Portugueza" (1783), de Bernardo de Lima e Melo Bacelar (ca.1736-post.1787), a partir de uma leitura crítica desta obra e da análise de outros estudiosos que já se empenharam em estudá-la. A "Grammatica" é dividida em três partes, de acordo com as partes da oração, conforme suas funções na frase. Estas partes são subdivididas em capítulos. O autor utiliza a nomenclatura casual para descrever os termos da oração. Sua preocupação ao compor a gramática era oferecer aos leitores um material inédito que pudesse apresentar de maneira inovadora as leis que regem a língua portuguesa, pois acreditava que uma comunicação clara, precisa e sem erros somente seria possível através do conhecimento dessas leis. Atento seguidor das ideias racionalistas de "Port-Royal" e do movimento iluminista, acreditava também na existência de uma gramática universal. Embora tenha sido um grande erudito das línguas clássicas e da língua materna, teve sua obra menosprezada pelos estudiosos de sua época, não atingindo, portanto, seus ideais de proporcionar clareza na comunicação

    João Cabral de Melo Neto e a tradição poética portuguesa

    In this paper we propose to analyze the complex relationships between João Cabral de Melo Neto and Portuguese literature and the way he fits in this literature through Cesário Verde, whose poetry is stripped of rhetorical ornaments and focuses, among all the senses, a vision of reality. These cha­racteristics made the author of Serial recognize himself in Cesário Verde’s poetry and consider him as the greatest Portuguese poet.Neste trabalho, proponho acompanhar as complexas relações entre João Cabral de Melo Neto e a literatura portuguesa e o modo como ele se en­tronca nessa literatura por meio de Cesário Verde, cuja poesia despojada de ornamentos retóricos e que privilegia, entre todos os sentidos, uma visão da realidade concreta, fez com que o autor de Serial nele se reconhecesse e o tomasse como o maior poeta português

    “Ser caixão de lixo ou arquivo”: ambiguidades de um Museu cabralino / “A Box of Trash or an Archive”: Ambiguities in Cabral de Melo Neto’s Museum

    No full text
    Resumo: O décimo quarto livro de João Cabral é apresentado no seu primeiro poema – “O museu de tudo” – como algo propenso à ambiguidade. De modo irônico, o sujeito poético o situa em duas pontas contrárias: tanto pode ser um caixão de lixo quanto um arquivo.  O aspecto ambíguo desse “poema-apresentação” perpassa o conjunto de 80 poemas que integram Museu de tudo (1975), livro a que tanto o seu autor quanto a crítica especializada definem como mais propenso ao circunstancial, embora também o relacionem ao exercício da poesia crítica. A partir da dualidade sugerida pela metáfora do Museu cabralino como um espaço onde se guardam preciosismos estéticos e rejeitos de menor valia, ao mesmo tempo, este trabalho pretende apontar como princípios poéticos aparentemente díspares – poesia crítica e poemas de circunstâncias – configuram-se como aspectos basilares de Museu de tudo.Palavras-chave: Poéticas da modernidade; João Cabral de Melo Neto; Museu de tudo; poesia de circunstância; poesia crítica.Abstract: The first poem of João Cabral de Melo Neto’s fourteenth book – “The museum of everything” (O museu de tudo, in the original) – presents itself as something prone to ambiguity. Ironically, the poetic persona places it on two opposite ends: it can be either a box of trash or an archive. The ambiguous aspect of this “presentation poem” permeates the set of 80 poems that integrates Museu de tudo (1975), a book that both its author and the specialized critic define as more prone to circumstantial poetry, although they also relate it to the exercise of critical poetry. Based on the tension suggested by the metaphor of De Melo Neto’s Museum as a space where aesthetic treasures and less valuable waste are kept, at the same time, this work aims at demonstrating how apparently disparate poetic principles – critical poetry and poems of circumstances – are assembled as the cornerstones of the Museu de tudo.Keywords: Poetics of modernity; João Cabral de Melo Neto; Museum of everything; occasional verse; critical poetry

    A policy model for Tunisia with real and financial flows

    No full text
    This model was developed to provide a moacroeconomic framework for Tunisia's structural adjustment program and a flexible tool for further country economic analysis. As currently specified, it is designed to analyze fiscal, debt, and incomes policies, while deriving implications for the exchange rate and for the availability of credit to the private sector. Several policy experiments are carried out to illustrate this focus, and suggestions are offered for variations in model closure and detail.Economic Theory&Research,Environmental Economics&Policies,Banks&Banking Reform,Economic Stabilization,Financial Intermediation

    Lessons of trade liberalization in Latin America for economies in transition

    No full text
    After four decades as prime examples of inward-looking trade policies and import-substituting industrialization, several Latin American countries undertook comprehensive trade liberalization and macroeconomic adjustment in the 1980s. The authors contend that the experiences in those countries are relevant for the economies in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union in transition from socialism to market economies. In all of these Latin American countries, the move toward an outward orientation occurred: when the economy was facing a large negative external shock because of falling terms of trade and rising debt payments; after several decades of protectionism; and under severe macroeconomic imbalances. The authors study the reform package of trade liberalization, stabilization, and supporting policies in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Mexico, and Uruguay. They conclude that for the economies in transition: Rationalizing the foreign trade regime is crucial for the success of stabilization measures. Rapid, far-reaching reform is possible in sectors that were subject to prolonged periods of heavy protection. Sustained growth requires a comprehensive reform package, with supporting policies for labor, capital, and domestic product markets. Liberalization of the financial sector requires investigating the links between commercial banks and private sector firms. If trade liberalization is to succeed in the long run, it is important to study the evolution of the real exchange rate and measures to stabilize it. In the final section of the paper, the authors study the recent impetus toward trade liberalization through regional arrangements in Latin America. The issue is relevant to countries in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union because they belonged to the CMEA, a regional trading arrangement, and because such arrangements are evolving anew among countries in the former Soviet Union.Economic Theory&Research,Environmental Economics&Policies,Economic Stabilization,TF054105-DONOR FUNDED OPERATION ADMINISTRATION FEE INCOME AND EXPENSE ACCOUNT,Macroeconomic Management
