A metaforização da Amazônia em textos de Euclides da Cunha
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Linguística, Florianópolis, 2013Abstract: This thesis is the result of a research which had as objective analyzing Euclides da Cunha´s metaphorical discourse about Amazonia, and how that discourse is organized in the texts written by this author. The design of this general objective arose from the following research problems: what is Euclides da Cunha´s metaphorical discourse about Amazonia made of? What metaphors does he use to describe Amazonia in his texts? Why did he use so many metaphors to refer to the region? The study has searched for answer(s) to such questions, on the limits of the research nature, which has followed along three big guiding axes: Amazonia, Euclides da Cunha, and Metaphor. Through the analysis of Euclides´s texts, I try to show that he was a good metaphorist. I make the reading of the Amazonian metaphors in Euclides from a classical approaching (initiated by Aristotle), an interactionist approaching (whose precursor was I. A. Richards, and whose main exponent was Max Black), and conceptual approaching (created by George Lakoff and Max Johnson), and the live metaphor (proposed by Ricoeur). I explore, from each one of these theories, metaphors which Euclides da Cunha created for reflecting about his work and for describing geographical and landscaping aspects of Amazonia, as well as the people, social relationships, boundary conflicts, and other region snapshots. I describe Euclides da Cunha´s views on the Amazonia, having as starting point his Amazonian metaphors, and I explore the dichotomy on artistic writing versus scientific writing on the writer´s texts. The study has its support on one basic hypotheses: Euclides da Cunha, on his Amazonian texts, fights two crucial dilemmas: firstly the difficulty of dealing with a threefold boundary he had to pass by: boundaries of territory, of science, and of comprehensible things; secondly, the metalinguistic reflections about his texts, when he stumbles before science crossed lines with fiction, by feeling incompatibility between literary text and scientific text, but at the same time, he does not get rid of the trend of conciliating these two methodologies, inconceivable for him. In this work, I defend the thesis that the metaphor was the recourse found by Euclides da Cunha for dealing with two dilemmas. I develop considerations about this dichotomy in Euclides da Cunha´s writings, taking as basis the theoretical considerations of Ricoeur (1983), Lakoff and Johnson (2002) and Paiva (2005), principally. The methodological way of this thesis was made by the channel of bibliographic research, including on this purpose: the decisive points of travellers´ writing tradition about the Amazonia region, Carvajal´s reports on the nineteenth century; Euclides da Cunha´s texts, mainly those on Amazonia collectanea ? a lost paradise, published in 2003 by Editora Valer in Manaus/Am, besides the author´s active letters where he refers to the region; texts of theories about metaphors regarding different views and reflections on the dichotomy scientific language versus artistic language. The bibliographic research has supplied elements for the theoretical foundation and contributed for reinforcing the analyses and the final version of this thesis. Among the theoretical principles, indispensable for the study support, are the concepts on Amazonia, metaphor, metalanguage, and literature. The checking of different views and slopes on metaphor which I revisit has allowed me to recollect supplementary data, from diverse conceptions, which decisively contributed for enabling me a more diversified view, on different angles, about the main metaphors that Euclides da Cunha created on his interpretation of Amazonia. And, considering that the author´s texts are full of metaphors, I pointed out for this study only those that are relevant for the hypothesis highlighted. The research points out that Euclides wanted to build a language that synthesized the science and art truth. Writing about Amazonia, he has started this discourse, but it was incomplete, like the own earth incompleteness. Euclides has found the key for the metaphor enigma ? it only is able to say the unsayable, translate the untranslatable, embrace the unembraceable. Therefore, Euclides used it without parsimony. Metaphor is introduced there as a bridge over the ineffable abyss. And it still contributes to fill in many troublesome gaps both on scientific and artistic language. So I conclude that both in the case of sertões baianos and Amazonia, it was the metaphors that have redeemed Euclides, giving vigor to his writings and offering an access key to an unfinished world for in a certain way comprehend him

No full textLanayrella gen. nov. Type species Tornatella vagabunda Mabille, 1885. Included species Lanayrella ringei (Strebel, 1905), Lanayrella vagabunda (Mabille, 1885). Etymology Named after the Lanayru Sea from the game ‘The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’ (Nintendo Co., Ltd.), following the precedent set by Salvador and Cunha (2016) when naming a new acteonid genus after a fictional city. Gender: feminine. Diagnosis Protoconch fully immersed within the shell. Columellar region of aperture platform-like, with a sharp adapical fold. Description Shell acteonoid, thick, elongated; last whorl with slightly rounded profile; imperforate; D/ H ca. 0.5. Spire with slightly rounded whorls and faintly step-like profile; suture distinctly marked. Protoconch indistinct, nucleus fully immersed (Figures 1 (g) and 2(h)). Teleoconch with ca. 4.5 whorls, entirely sculptured by narrow punctuated spiral grooves; grooves are more numerous in later whorls and more closely packed together towards umbilicus (Figures 1 (c) and 2(c)). Grooves composed of small rounded-rectangular punctae, partially fused to the next one within each groove; punctae remain individually distinct or more completely fuse with their neighbours (Figures 1 (f) and 2(g)). Aperture anteriorly rounded, slightly narrowed posteriorly; parietal region with thin well-delimited callus; columellar region broad, slightly expanded, with a sharp edge, bearing a thickened adapical fold; outer lip sharp, thickened externally.Published as part of Salvador, Rodrigo B. & Cunha, Carlo, 2020, Lanayrella, a new Acteonidae genus (Gastropoda, Heterobranchia) from Tierra del Fuego, pp. 1009-1018 in Journal of Natural History 54 (15 - 16) on pages 1010-1011, DOI: 10.1080/00222933.2020.1777338, http://zenodo.org/record/502077

No full textAbrawayaomys Cunha and Cruz, 1979. Bol. Mus. Biol. Prof. Mello-Leitao Zool., 96:2. TYPE SPECIES: Abrawayaomys ruschii Cunha and Cruz, 1979. COMMENTS: Diagnostic traits of the new genus seem to combine aspects of Neacomys, Oryzomys, and Akodon, and Reig (1987) acknowledged the enigmatic affinities of Abrawayaomys as Sigmodontinae incertae sedis. Certain cranial features of Abrawayaomys suggest an archaic thomasomyine, perhaps distantly related to other thomasomyine genera of SE Brazil (e.g., see comment under Delomys).Published as part of Guy G.

Desilusão republicana: percursos e rupturas no pensamento de Sílvio Romero, Euclides da Cunha e Lima Barreto
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura.Este trabalho trata das conseqüências da desilusão política na obra de três intelectuais: Sílvio Romero, Euclides da Cunha e Lima Barreto. A utopia republicana, imaginada por gerações, frustrou ideólogos e militantes com conseqüências nas atividades intelectuais e na composição da esfera política. A tese procura demonstrar a mudança de rumo em suas produções a partir da situação de excluídos do projeto político-cultural republicano que viria a ser dominante. Por essa razão, suas obras, marcadas pela desilusão política, ganharam em maturidade e penetração ao tentar desvendar a complexidade cultural, social e antropológica da realidade nacional que impedia a concretização efetiva do novo sistema de governo. O resultado foi o surgimento de visões críticas e pessimistas sobre o entendimento do que, de fato, era a nação e que se tornaram matriciais nos estudos brasileiros modernos

Aeroelastic stability of long span bridges: comparison between quasi-deterministic and POD-based representation of the wind turbulence
No full textThe effects on the aeroelastic stability of long span bridges of low-frequency wind speed fluctuations are addressed. The spatial-temporal field of wind turbulence implies a perturbation of the critical state of the 1dof system (flutter mode) representing the 3D oscillations (vertical, transversal and torsional) of the bridge under a non-turbulent critical windspeed. From a mathematical point of view, the contribution of the wind turbulence introduces parametric excitations, both on the stiffness and on the damping terms of the equation describing the time-evolution of the flutter mode; as a consequence, the turbulence effects can make the critical state unstable, unless the mean wind speed is appropriately lowered with respect to the classical and ideal case (i.e. non-turbulent wind). In this paper, two different descriptions of the spatial-temporal field of wind turbulence are discussed and compared: i) a POD-based representation; ii) a quasi deterministic model of the wind field, underestimating the loss of coherence between different points. It is shown that the reduction of mean wind speed required to assure aeroelastic stability in case of turbulent wind, that can be obtained as a closed form upper bound by means of the representation (ii), is not negligible even for a more realistic wind-turbulence field (i) and for the sample case of an aerodynamically optimized long span bridge
