    Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas. Programa de Pós-graduação em Antropologia Social, Florianópolis, 2009A relação entre a fotografia e a etnografia nos estudos da Antropologia, apesar de antiga e densa, é incerta e complexa. Se por um lado a fotografia é a cada dia mais utilizada nos trabalhos antropológicos, por outro sua potencialidade como algo além da ilustração e de uma técnica de interação com o Outro é pouco explorada. A partir do exemplo, do legado, da trajetória de vida e, principalmente, da obra de Pierre Fatumbi Verger, esta pesquisa se dedica a analisar essa relação. Francês radicado na Bahia na década de 1940, Verger é conhecido mundialmente tanto por seu trabalho como fotógrafo quanto pelas suas pesquisa etnográficas. Há, entretanto, uma indefinição quanto à razão desse reconhecimento, e examinar as suas razões oferece um profícuo campo de reflexão sobre a pesquisa etnográfica, especialmente quando relacionada ao universo das imagens fotográficas. A Fundação Pierre Verger é a instituição que atualmente abriga o acervo do fotógrafo-etnógrafo e onde foi realizada a pesquisa de campo através da qual, aliada à leitura de fotografias relacionadas ao candomblé em suas manifestações na África e na Bahia, foi criada uma metodologia de análise das fotografias que privilegia as interações e os diálogos como espaço de construção de definições sobre a etnografia. Pelo contato com a Fundação, seus freqüentadores e o acervo fotográfico ali disponibilizado, esta pesquisa pretende refletir sobre a etnografia e a construção de um olhar etnográfico em relação direta com o exercício da fotografia.The relationship between photography and ethnography in anthropological studies, albeit ancient and deep, is uncertain and complex. Photography has been increasingly used in anthropological researches but it´s potencial as something beyond illustration and it´s interaction with the Other as a technique is very little explored. This research is dedicated to the analysis of this relationship by taking the work of Pierre Fatumbi Verger, his life and legacy. A French man, rooted in Bahia, Brasil, in the decade of 1940, Verger is known worldwide for his work as a photographer as well as for his etnographic studies. However, the reason of this recognition is undefined and examining the reason for these indefinitions can be a fruitful field of reflection concerning ethnographic researches, especially when related to the photographic universe. The Pierre Verger Foundation is the institution that hosts his photographic and ethnographic collection and it´s also where the field research of this work took place. Through the field research combined with the readings of photographs related to candomblé and it´s manifestations in Africa and Bahia, a photographic analysis methodology was created that privilege interaction and dialogue as a way to build definitions about ethnography. By the contact with the Foundation, it´s users and it´s available photographic collection, this research intends to reflect about the ethnography and the creation of an ethnographic view in direct relation to the exercise of photography

    The aesthetics of Pierre Boulez

    No full text
    To enable the reader to find references as quickly and easily as possible, I have grouped all references together in the bibliography in alphabetical order. Texts by the same author are distinguished first by year and second, if there are several texts from the same year, by letter. Interviews and writing collaborations (including published correspondence) involving Boulez are also ordered alphabetically. The year given at the beginning of each bibliographical entry is, in the majority of cases, the year in which the text was first published (not necessarily the year of the edition cited). For all writings written by Boulez, I have provided the original title under which the text in question was first published (usually in French). Many articles have subsequently been translated into English and therefore I have decided to provide page references for both versions. For all texts by writers other than Boulez, I have cited the version of the text I have used. Wherever possible, I have cited the existing English translations of texts originally written in French. However, on many occasions I have considered it necessary to make alterations to the published translations. This is particularly applicable to Boulez on Music Today (1971) and Orientations (1986), both of which display an often heavy-handed and rather inaccurate approach to the task of translating specific concepts employed by Boulez. In contrast. Stocktakings of an Apprenticeship (1991) has required only occasional minor amendments. All changes to the published English translations are acknowledged in the corresponding footnote. None of the material m this thesis has previously been submitted for a degree in this or any other University. The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. No quotation from it should be published without prior written consent and information from it should be acknowledged. I have received permission to exceed the word limit from the Graduate School Committee at the University of Durham

    Heme iron from meat and risk of colorectal cancer: a meta-analysis and a review of the mechanisms involved

    Red meat and processed meat intake is associated with a risk of colorectal cancer, a major cause of death in affluent countries. Epidemiological and experimental evidence supports the hypothesis that heme iron present in meat promotes colorectal cancer. This meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies of colon cancer reporting heme intake included 566,607 individuals and 4,734 cases of colon cancer. The summary relative risk of colon cancer was 1.18 [95%C.I.: 1.06-1.32] for subjects in the highest category of heme iron intake compared with those in the lowest category. Epidemiological data thus show a suggestive association between dietary heme and risk of colon cancer. The analysis of experimental studies in rats with chemically-induced colon cancer showed that dietary hemoglobin and red meat consistently promote aberrant crypt foci, a putative pre-cancer lesion. The mechanism is not known, but heme iron has a catalytic effect on (i) the endogenous formation of carcinogenic N-nitroso compounds and (ii) the formation of cytotoxic and genotoxic aldehydes by lipoperoxidation. A review of evidence supporting these hypotheses suggests that both pathways are involved in heme iron toxicit

    The main biological aspects of this economically important group of beetles, the Chrysomelidae, are summarized in this new work by the internationally known author, Dr. Pierre Jolivet. Around 37,000 species are now described and more remain to be named. The size and diversity of the family are less than those of the weevils (Curculionidae), but probably there will be a total of 40 to 50 thousand species once the canopy fauna is better known. For instance, we still know nothing about the biology and the host plants of the Madagascaran leaf beetles and surely many more species from that region await description
