À sombra do tamarindo: identidade, tradução cultural e gênero em O último voo do flamingo, de Mia Couto
Get PDFDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura, Florianópolis, 2014.Pretendemos expor questões presentes no romance do moçambicano Mia Couto O último voo do flamingo, como identidade, tradução cultural e gênero. A intenção é propor discussões acerca desses temas tão pertinentes na contemporaneidade, sobretudo no que se refere aos países africanos que passaram pelo processo de colonização e apenas recentemente conquistaram a independência política. Assim, procuramos elucidar também alguns pontos fundantes da relação entre literatura e o contexto histórico em que esta foi produzida, pois essa relação suscita diversas análises. Para tanto, trazemos à baila alguns(mas) estudiosos(as) da cena literária africana de língua portuguesa e também autores(as) das teorias pós-coloniais e de gênero.Abstract : It is intended to expose issues in the novel the Mozambican Mia Couto O ultimo voo do flamingo, like identity, gender and cultural translation. The intention is to propose discussions on these topics as relevant in contemporary times, especially with regard to African countries that have gone through the process of colonization and just recently won political independence. So, I try also to elucidate some foundational points of the relationship between literature and the historical context in which it was produced, because this relationship raises several analyzes. To do so, bring to the fore some scholars of African literary scene of the Portuguese language and also classical authors of postcolonial and gender theories

Paula Rego: printmaker
Get PDF‘Paula Rego: Printmaker’ is an extended essay commissioned from the author by Marlborough Fine Art and Talbot Rice Museum, Edinburgh, for the illustrated catalogue to accompany the touring exhibition of Rego’s graphic work.
My essay reveals Rego’s working method, and places her prints within the overall context of her practice. The essay contains much original research evidenced over a 20-year period of collaboration with the artist, including first hand observation and hitherto unpublished stage proofs revealing the progression and development of images from first stage to final print
A new species of Gaylordia Paula Couto (Mammalia, Metatheria) from Itaboraí, Brazil
Get PDFWe describe a new metatherian of the genus Gaylordia Paula Couto, from the early Eocene Itaboraí Basin, Brazil. This new species (estimated body mass ~60-90.9 g) is based on lower and upper dentition elements and is characterized by a more plesiomorphic dental morphology with respect to G. macrocynodonta Paula Couto (with a larger body mass, estimated in ~74-103 g for large individuals or males). The species G. doelloi Marshall, represented by small individuals or females, is regarded a junior synonym of G. macrocynodonta. A phylogenetic analysis as well as details of the occlusal surface of its upper and lower molars suggests that Gaylordia is closely related to the Pucadelphyidae, a non-marsupial “ameridelphian” group previously recorded at the early Paleocene locality of Tiupampa, Bolivia.Descreve-se um novo marsupial basal do gênero Gaylordia Paula Couto, do Eoceno inicial da bacia de Itaboraí, Brasil. Esta nova espécie (massa corporal estimada ~60-90.9 g) está baseada na dentição superior e inferior, e é caracterizada por uma morfologia dentária mais plesiomórfi ca em relação a G. macrocynodonta Paula Couto (cuja maior massa corporal é estimada em ~74-103 g para grandes indivíduos ou machos). A espécie G. doelloi Marshall, representada por indíviduos pequenos ou fêmeas, é considerada um sinônimo junior de G. macrocynodonta.

Ecos feministas na literatura moçambicana contemporânea
Get PDFTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura, Florianópolis, 2011Este trabalho desenvolve uma abordagem das narrativas Terra sonâmbula (Mia Couto, 1992) e Ventos do apocalipse (Paulina Chiziane, 1999), à luz da teoria ecofeminista. A partir dos dois textos citados, que têm em comum a guerra civil em Moçambique (1976-1992), analisamos os romances à luz da teoria acima citada, ressaltando interações interpessoais e dessas com o meio ambiente, levando em conta os níveis de destruição a que o país se viu mergulhado, desde a luta por sua independência política. Neste sentido, observando que relações de gênero e meio ambiente se entrecruzam, temos, representado nas duas ficções, o colonialismo português, gerando ambientes destruídos e destruidores para o ser humano, uma vez que o imperialismo das metrópoles se apropriou de bens necessários (tais como os recursos naturais da então colônia) para o seu próprio abastecimento. Além disso, também gerou, após o fim do sistema opressor, lutas armadas e propagação de violência entre grupos tnicoraciais. Em vista do exposto, o ecofeminismo tem se afirmado pela discussão que amplia os estudos feministas, ao realizar, nas obras supracitadas, questionamentos sobre impactos ambientais. Para tanto, emprega estudos interdisciplinares, que vão desde a compreensão da natureza do espaço, bem como análise da geografia cultural de cada lugar em foco. Ao incorporar uma gama de saberes amplos e diversificados, presentes nos romances citados, o ecofeminismo também aponta para o fim da existência de verdades absolutas como a dicotomia hierárquica entre humanos e não humanos e, ainda, integra o humano à natureza, como um de seus elementos constitutivos.This thesis analyzes two narratives from Mozambique: Terra sonâmbula (Mia Couto, 1992) and Ventos do apocalipse (Paulina Chiziane, 1999), in light of the ecofeminist theory. From the two text cited, which have in common the civil war in that country ( 1976-1992), we analyze the two novels in the light of the above-mentioned theory emphasizing interpersonal relationships and those with the environment, taking into account the levels of destruction that the country was plunged since its struggle for political independence. In this regard, noting that relationships of gender and the environment intersect, we see Portuguese colonialism represented in both fictions, creating environments destroyed and destructive to humanity, once the imperial metropolis has taken over necessary goods (such as natural resources of the colony) for their own survival. Moreover, this oppressive system has generated violence and wars among ethnic-racial groups, even after the end of colonialism. In view of these facts, ecofeminism has established itself by the discussion that these two books raise, by questioning the environmental impacts, extending feminist studies. To this end, it employs interdisciplinary studies, ranging from understanding the nature of space as well as analysis of the cultural geography of each place in focus. By incorporating a range of broad and diverse knowledge, present in the novels mentioned, ecofeminism also points to the end of the existence of absolute truths such as the hierarchical dichotomy between human and nonhuman, integrating humans to the natural world, as one of its components.
