    Este artigo discute a história da imprensa fundada por Pedro Madrigal em 1585 em Madrid, depois de deixar sua oficina em Salamanca. Após a morte do editor, sucederam-no no manejo das prensas sua viúva, Maria Rodriguez, seu “filho” Pedro Madrigal, Juan de la Cuesta e Maria de Quiñones. Esta última aproveitou uma oportunidade privilegiada de negócios e levou consigo o livreiro Pedro Coello para imprimir comédias após o fim da proibição, em 1634. Assim, da sua impressão surgiram peças de comédias de grandes autores da Idade de Ouro como Tirso de Molina, Calderon de la Barca e Lope de Vega, entre outro

    The tragedies of Maria Rosa Galvez de Cabrera (1768-1806).

    The aim of this thesis is to advance an understanding of the author's corpus of tragic plays, eight in total. Chapter One explores continuities and changes in Galvez's critical fortunes in the last two hundred years. Chapter Two examines the author's commitment to write tragedy in the light of notions of the genre in eighteenth-century Spain, situating Galvez's innovation and experimentation with generic constants both ancient and modern in the context of the contemporary debate on theatre. The remaining eight chapters are dedicated to analyses of aesthetic, structural and thematic elements of each play: Afi-Bek, set in Mameluke Egypt, whose ensemble cast of characters and uncompromising portrayal of cruelty and barbarity perplexed contemporary critics; Safil, which dramatised the final hours in the life of this Biblical figure in the uni-personal melologo format; Safo, which depicted the Greek poet's passionate yet solemn act of suicide; Florinda, which interrogated the legend of the Moorish Conquest of Spain; Blanca de Rossi, in which elements of the emergent Gothic style animated the familiar tragic dilemma between public duty and personal honour; Amnon, which recast the Biblical story of Amnon and Tamar and engaged with earlier treatments by Calderon de la Barca and Tirso de Molina; Zinda which addressed issues of slavery, colonialism and nationhood, drawing on elements and techniques associated with sentimental comedy; La delirante, in which Galvez approached the historical account of the rivalry between Tudor and Stuart, through the character of Leonor, Mary Stuart's daughter. The systematic analysis of these plays reveals Galvez as a self-conscious and skilful tragedian, able to fuse the conventions of ancient models of tragedy with the devices of new dramatic and literary forms to create a body of tragic writing which is at once experimental, innovative and essentially classicising

    A partir de una de las premisas ancilares de la bibliografía material, que establece que las formas de los textos afectan su sentido, proponemos el análisis de cubiertas ilustradas, en tanto cumplen una función prefiguradora e intensificadora del texto. Dado que se trata de un primer discurso gráfico de tipo editorial más que autorial, ejemplificaremos de qué modo las ilustraciones de tapa generan interpretaciones que apuntan a distintos tipos de lectores. El texto seleccionado es una de las últimas novelas de Beatriz Guido, La invitación, publicada por Losada en 1979, por Alianza Editorial en 1982 y por Círculo de Lectores en 1984.According to one of the main concepts of the material bibliography, which states that the format of the book conditions the meaning of the text, we propose the analysis of illustrated covers and book jackets. Because it is a type of graphic discourse, it is closer to editorial design than the author of the text. However, illustrated covers are responsible for different interpretations and are addressed to different kinds of readers. We exemplify this phenomenon with one of the latest novels by Beatriz Guido, The Invitation, published by Losada in 1979, by Alianza Editorial in 1982 and by Círculo de Lectores in 1984Fil: Rodriguez Temperley, Maria Mercedes.

    Price caps, efficiency payoffs, and infrastructure contract renegotiation in Latin America

    No full text
    Twenty years ago, as the United Kingdom was getting ready to launch the privatization of its public services, Professor Littlechild developed and operationalized the concept of price caps as a regulatory regime to control for residual monopoly conditions in those services. Ten years later, Latin American countries, as they embarked into their own infrastructure reforms, also adopted the price cap regulatory model. Relying on a large data base on the factors driving contract renegotiation in the region and a survey of the literature on efficiency gains, the authors assess the impact of this regulatory regime in Latin America. They show that while the expected efficiency gains were amply achieved, these gains were seldom passed on to the users. Instead they were shared by the government and the firms. Moreover, the adoption of price caps implied higher costs of capital and hence, tariffs, and brought down levels of investment.International Terrorism&Counterterrorism,Decentralization,Labor Policies,Banks&Banking Reform,Environmental Economics&Policies,Banks&Banking Reform,Environmental Economics&Policies,International Terrorism&Counterterrorism,Water Supply and Sanitation Participation,Community Participation in Water Supply and Sanitation

    A transitory regime : water supply in Conakry, Guinea

    No full text
    Both consumers and the government benefited from reform of the water system in Conakry, Guinea, whose deterioration since independence had become critical by the mid-1980s. Less than 40 percent of Conakry's population had access to piped water - low even by regional standards - and service was intermittent, at best, for the few who had connections. The public agency in charge of the sector was inefficient, overstaffed, and virtually insolvent. In several ways, the reform introduced to the sector in 1989 under a World Bank-led project was remarkable. It showed that even in a weak institutional environment, where contracts are hard to enforce and political interference is common, private sector participation can improve sector performance. The authors discuss the mechanismsthat made progress possible and identify factors that inhibit the positive effects of reform. Water has become very expensive, the number of connections has increased very slowly, and conflicts have developed between SEEG (the private operator) and SONEG (the state agency). Among the underlying problems: a) The lack of strong, stable institutions. b) The lack of an independent agency capable of restraining arbitrary government action, regulating the private operator, and enforcing contractual arrangements. c) The lack of adequate conflict resolution mechanisms for contract disputes. d) Weak administrative capacity.Environmental Economics&Policies,Water and Industry,Water Conservation,Decentralization,Water Supply and Systems,Town Water Supply and Sanitation,Water and Industry,Water Supply and Sanitation Governance and Institutions,Environmental Economics&Policies,Water Conservation

    Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura, Florianópolis, 2014Este estudo investiga como Jorge Luis Borges constrói o Sur como espaço mítico, em seus três primeiros livros de poesia. Para tanto, analisou-se de que forma a representação de tal espaço torna-o simbólico e, posteriormente, mítico, tanto no conjunto da obra do autor, como também, a partir desse movimento individual de Borges, no imaginário coletivo da cidade. Estudou-se ainda como a memória própria e o imaginário criaram espaços afetivos, que permeiam a totalidade dos textos do autor.Abstract: This study investigates how Jorge Luis Borges builds Sur neighborhood as mythic space in his first three books of poetry. To this end, we analyzed how the representation of such a space make of it a symbolic and later a mythical space, both in the overall work of the author, but also that individual movement of Borges that achieve the collective imagination of the city. Still we have studied how the personal memory and the imagery is able to create emotional spaces, which constitute the totality of texts by the author

    Experiências de atenção à saúde e percepções das pessoas transgênero, transexuais e travestis sobre os serviços públicos de saúde em Florianópolis/SC

    Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências da Saúde, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Saúde Coletiva, Florianópolis, 2014A sexualidade e o gênero são fatores que influenciam e determinam a saúde integral de um ser humano. Na sociedade existe uma ideia prevalente de uma identidade sexual e expressões de gênero imaleáveis, desconsiderando, invisibilizando e excluindo aquelas pessoas que transgredem estes parâmetros socialmente construídos como normais, como no caso da população Trans. Entende-se que a diversidade sexual e de gênero fazem parte das expressões da dimensão sexual humana e, portanto, devem ser respeitadas e consideradas em suas diferenças. No entanto, persistem formas de discriminação contra a população Trans no Brasil nos âmbitos, tanto interpessoais como institucionais e estruturais, alcançando o próprio sistema de saúde. Esta pesquisa se trata de um recorte de um estudo exploratório-descritivo de caráter qualitativo que teve como objetivo discutir e analisar as experiências de atenção à saúde das pessoas transgêneras, transexuais e travestis (Trans) nos diferentes serviços de saúde públicos. Selecionados por conveniência, foram entrevistadas sete (7) pessoas Trans, entre os 22 e 42 anos de idade, onde quatro se auto identificaram como homens, duas como travestis e uma como mulher. Poucas/os delas/es fazem uso do SUS e preferem o uso de serviços particulares e/ou privados. O acesso à saúde se viu limitado por barreiras estruturais, no que se refere ao nome social e ao paradigma hetero-cissexual que permeia as interações desta população com o SUS. É necessário quebrar esses paradigmas e reconstruir a saúde através da diversidade e as suas diversas expressões como parte da complexidade do ser humano.Abstract: Sexuality and gender are factors that influence and determine the overall health of a human being. There is in the society a prevalent idea that sexual identity and gender expressions are inflexible, disregarding, making invisible and excluding those who transgress these sociallyconstructed parameters as normality, as in the case of the Trans population. It understands that sexual and gender diversity are part of the expressions of human sexual dimension and therefore should be respected and considered in their differences. However, forms of discrimination against Trans people in Brazil persist in the interpersonal, institutional and structural areas, reaching the health system itself. This exploratory-descriptive qualitative research, aimed to discuss and analyze the experiences of transgender, transsexuals and transvestites(Trans) community with health care in different public health services and their perceptions of these services. Selected for convenience, were interviewed seven (7) Trans people, between 22 and 42 years old, where four identified themselves as men, two as transvestites and one as awoman. Few of theirs make use of SUS and prefer the use of private services. Respect to hormone therapy, all of them ever self-medicated and currently the vast majority continue doing this practice. In the reports was perceived prejudice and discrimination by the professionals and/or employees of both SUS and private services. Access to health care was seen limited by structural barriers in regard to the use of the social name and the hetero-cissexual paradigm that permeates the interactions of this population with SUS. It is necessary to break these paradigms and rebuild health through diversity and its various expressions as part of the complexity of human beings
