    Do passeio na avenida à balada no prolonga: sociabilidade no espaço público: o caso da Avenida Getúlio Vargas, Chapecó (SC)

    Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Antropologia Social, Florianópolis, 2009Esta pesquisa busca compreender as sociabilidades no espaço público da Avenida Getúlio Vargas no município de Chapecó. É resultado de uma pesquisa etnográfica na rua que teve como foco de análise as práticas que delimitam, fragmentam e criam lugares no espaço público chapecoense. São apresentados diferentes contextos de sociabilidade, diferentes cenários que abrigam desde o passeio como uma forma costumeira de uso do espaço público que aparece na parte central da avenida às baladas na rua criadas a partir de práticas de jovens que se reúnem em espaços determinados, criam cenários e pontos de encontro. Estes lugares são constituídos por dinâmicas específicas de sociabilidade, analisadas, nesta dissertação, em torno das relações do ver e ser visto. As diferentes sociabilidades urbanas identificadas na Avenida Getúlio Vargas ressaltam a importância desta enquanto ícone do espaço público da cidade de Chapecó, sendo o envolvente físico e simbólico dessas diferentes sociabilidades. Dos cenários analisados, o prolonga aparece como espaço paradoxal, envolvido simultaneamente por conotações de transgressividade e permissividade. Relações ambíguas que se organizam em termos de coexistência, de simultaneidade e complementaridade, permitindo analisar o espaço público em termos de permanências e descontinuidades.This research focuses on sociability in the public space of Avenida Getúlio Vargas in the municipality of Chapecó. It is a result of ethnographic research in the street that had the focus of analysis practices that define, fragment and create posts in the public space chapecoense. Are presented different social contexts, different scenarios that harbor from the tour - as a form of customary use of public space that appears in central part of the avenue - the ballads in the street - established practices of young people who gather in certain spaces, create scenarios and points of meeting. These places are made of specific dynamics of social, analyzed in this work, around the relations of the "see and be seen". The different urban sociability identified on Avenida Getúlio Vargas emphasized the importance of this as an icon of public space in the city of Chapecó and the surrounding physical and symbolic of different sociability. Of the scenarios examined, the prolonga appears as paradoxical space, surrounded both by connotations of transgressive and permissiveness. Ambiguous relationships that are organized in terms of coexistence, of simultaneity and complementarity, consider allowing the public space in terms of permanence and discontinuities

    Childhood in the works of Silvina Ocampo and Alejandra Pizarnik

    This thesis explores childhood as theme and perspective in the Argentine cuentista and poet Silvina Ocampo (1903-1993) and traces this thematic and vital link to the Argentine poet Alejandra Pizamik (1936-1972). The study looks at childhood not only in relation to their literary texts but also in the writers' construction of self-identity within their socio-literary context, and at the role played by visual art in their aesthetic. Chapter 1 contrasts Silvina with her elder sister Victoria Ocampo through their differing literary appropriation of a shared childhood. It distinguishes Ocampo from Adolfo Bioy Casares and Jorge Luis Borges in terms of her fictional logic and her treatment of games, drawing comparisons instead with Julio Cortdzar. Chapter 2 undertakes close reading of various Ocampo texts, including some for children, in order to explore her vision of childhood through nostalgia, adult-child power relationships, aging and rejuvenation, and moments of initiation or imitation. Chapter 3 turns to Pizarnik and the myth of the child-poet. It analyses her child personae through Andre Breton's Surrealism, Jean Cocteau and Octavio Paz, through her borrowings from Alice in Wonderland and Nadja, and through her obsession with madness, death, orphanhood, violation and transgression. Chapter 4 is comparative. It outlines the context in which Ocampo and Pizamik's passionate friendship developed, and considers Pizamik's essay on Elpecado mortal. It then explores their broad mutual literary and thematic affinities. My conclusion is that Ocampo's works achieve equilibrium between childhood and age, whereas Pizarnik's much-discussed poetic crisis of exile from language itself parallels her deep sense of anxiety at being exiled from the world of childhood. This thesis contributes to the study of Argentine literature by drawing revealing comparisons between two key writers through their shared obsession with childhood, arguing that an understanding of their attitudes to childhood is fundamental to appreciating fully their work. I refer to unpublished letters of Ocampo, material from private interviews, photographs and relevant paintings by Leonor Fini, Alicia Carletti and others

    Fresh fruit and vegetables: a world of multiple interactions : the case of the Buenos Aires Central Wholesale Market (BACWM)

    No full text
    This research explores ethnographically the everyday social interactions between the ‘users’ of a particular marketplace, the Buenos Aires Central Wholesale Market (BACWM). The ‘users’ of this marketplace are the social actors who work there everyday, and who bring and buy fresh produce. These ´users´ are the ´makers´ of the BACWM since, through their everyday practices, interactions and interpretations and knowledge, they socially construct this hub of distribution

    Morphometric variability in the extant coccolithophores: implications for the fossil record

    No full text
    This detailed quantitative study shows significant intraspecific morphologic variability in species within modern calcareous nannoplankton communities. The link between depth of habitat and particular morphological components may indicate morphological adaptation and functionality. I use fine scale morphological characteristics to differentiate species variants or conversely, to identify polymorphism within species. Rhabdospheres and rhabdoliths of species within the family Rhabdosphaeraceae are analyzed as shallow photic zone proxies and reveal significant intra- and interspecific variability, whereas coccospheres and coccoliths of species in the deep photic zone show notably less variability in size and structure. The intra- and interspecific morphological variability that is noted with depth stratification is applicable to the fossil record in paleoceanographic reconstruction. I compare the extant species of the deep photic zone to the Miocene Minylitha convallis and find parallels that imply similar habitats (depth and stratification).Ph.D.Includes bibliographical references
