Ferreira, Ferrari: ficções do exílio
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura, Florianópolis, 2015.Esta é uma leitura dos exílios de Ferreira Gullar e León Ferrari, durante as últimas ditaduras militares que tomaram conta do Cone Sul, incluindo Brasil e Argentina. Entre 1971 e 1977, Gullar passou por Moscou, Santiago, Lima e Buenos Aires, além de outras cidades, enquanto Ferrari, por sua vez, estabeleceu-se com sua família em São Paulo do final de 1976 até 1984, sendo que após esse período ainda dividiria por alguns anos a sua permanência entre a capital paulista e Buenos Aires. Alguns de seus mais notáveis trabalhos foram realizados no exílio, de modo que a configuração de uma paisagem ou cena exílica torna-se indissociável das experiências conduzidas com a linguagem. Em poucas palavras: embora marcado pela tanatopolítica castrense e pelo nomos gestor do capital global, é possível afirmar que o exílio não está dado de antemão e nem permanece sempre o mesmo, quer seja como dano ou como dádiva; é somente com a linguagem  a imagem, o sensível  que uma experiência exílica, sempre singular e radicalmente contemporânea, pode encontrar a sua superfície de exposição, quer dizer, a sua diferença. Conquanto sejam profundamente dessemelhantes, os exílios de Ferreira Gullar e León Ferrari não deixam de mostrar afinidades, sobretudo nos momentos em que suas experiências tocam um ponto comum: o espaço  um topos  a-tópico da impropriedade, da potência, da in-operatividade que, com a linguagem, resiste indomesticável às tentativas de cristalização da língua, do povo, do poder, da nação. Foucault, Saer, Coccia e outros autores franqueiam um pensamento da ficção enquanto construção contingencial capaz de desnaturalizar os usos do discurso e a teleologia que assedia constantemente a literatura, as artes, a história. De certo modo, a ficção ¬repete, expõe e portanto difere as fábulas, ao mesmo tempo em que expõe e difere a si mesma. É essa operação in-operante, esse trabalho afirmativo da negatividade que suspende a maquinaria imunitária, autonomista, da civilização ocidental e cristã.Abstract : This is a reading of both Ferreira Gullar and León Ferrari s exiles, during the last military dictatorships that took account of the Southern Cone, including Brazil and Argentina. Between 1971 and 1977, Gullar went through Moscow, Santiago, Lima and Buenos Aires, and other cities, while Ferrari settled with his family in São Paulo from late 1976 until 1984, and thereafter still divided for a few years his stay between São Paulo and Buenos Aires. Some of his most notable works were carried out in exile, so that the configuration of an exilic landscape or scene becomes inseparable from experiments conducted with language. In short, although marked by military thanatopolitics and the nomos of global capital manager, it is possible to say that exile is not given in advance and not always remains the same, whether as damage or as a gift; it is only with the language  the image, the sensible  that an exilic experience, always singular and radically contemporary, can find its exposure surface, that is, its difference. While they are profoundly dissimilar, Ferreira Gullar and León Ferrari s exiles show their affinities, particularly at times when their experiences play a common point: the space  a topos  a-topic of the impropriety, potency, of in-operativity that, together with language, resists untamable against all crystallization attempts on the idiom, people, power, and nation. Foucault, Saer, Coccia and other authors frank a thought of fiction as a contingency construction able to denature the uses of speech and the teleology that constantly haunts literature, arts, and history. In a way, fiction repeats, exposes and therefore differs fables, while exposes and differs itself. It is this in-operative operation, this affirmative work of negativity that suspends the immunitary machinery of Christian Western civilization

Why the time is right for a civic turn
No full textThis chapter introduces the key themes of the volume, providing historical and policy context for the concept of the civic university. It argues that, given the right resources and commitment, a civic orientation has the potential to produce deep, broad and lasting benefits for communities. The idea of the civic university offers a driving logic that can frame strategies and decisions across a swathe of domains, from learning and teaching to economic, environmental and wellbeing impacts within the communities that universities serve. This requires a searching analysis of who universities are good for in addition to what they are good at. The chapter introduces the Civic Impact Framework, prototyped by the Civic University Network, as a way to enable universities and their partners to understand the difference they are making and challenge themselves to do better. It identifies seven domains in which universities may have civic impacts. Rather than offering a unified set of metrics to measure impact, the framework emphasises institutional reflection and learning by adopting a ‘maturity matrix’ model for understanding strategic progress and encouraging peer learning
The Environmental Pre-History of Prince Edward Island 1769--1970: A Reconnaissance in Force
No full textAcademic analysis of the historical interaction between humans and the environment has been extremely limited on Prince Edward Island. The following thesis is one of the first studies to utilize Island Studies research methodologies to examine Prince Edward Island as a case study in environmental history. Prince Edward Island's "islandness" plays a significant factor in this history because any environmental changes are amplified by the compression of the limited geographical area of the Island.The main question revolves around how Islanders' attitudes have evolved toward the environment. Before a conscious environmental movement began in the 1970s, Islanders have had concerns over the environment. These early concerns over the environment generally revolved around conserving natural resources that had economic value as opposed to preserving the environment for the sake of nature. However, there were some surprising examples of individuals who were ahead of their time as far as understanding the importance of preserving the environment. Thus, if such awareness toward environmental issues did not emerge in an organized way until the 1970s, this thesis examines changing attitudes over time, to create a "pre-history" of environmental concerns.The thesis is organized chronologically and thematically. The introduction describes the research method, environmental history historiography, the importance of conservation law in environmental history, Island Studies research methods, and the idea of garden and Eden mythologies effecting legislation on islands. Chapter One reviews the impact of the Aboriginal and French impact to the environment, because their limited footprint justifies why the study focuses on the British Colonial and post-Confederation periods. Chapter Two outlines the impact that the British settlement era had on the Island's environment. Chapter Three covers changing environmental attitudes from the post-Confederation period to the Second World War. The final chapter covers postwar environmental impacts until the watershed of the Comprehensive Development Plan in 1970.The thesis examines the evolution of attitudes toward the environment on Prince Edward Island through one major research method: the provincial government's legislative records. The Journals of the Legislative Assembly provided the bulk of the research material because they contain records of the legislation and government reports. Researching environmental related legislation is often the most fundamental research method in environmental history because it can be used to illustrate when and why humans became concerned for regulating and protecting the environment.This thesis adds to the historiography of Prince Edward Island by expanding environmental history scholarship. Aside from geographies, natural history articles, forestry research, and works by Alan MacEachern focusing on National Parks and the Institute of Man and Resources, environmental history has been limited on Prince Edward Island. However, Prince Edward Island has a long history of trying to protect the environment, which was accelerated by "islandness" and limited geographical area. It is hoped that this thesis will add historical perspective to policy makers working on sustainable development in the future.Source: Masters Abstracts International, Volume: 50-04, page: 2155
