    Tese (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

    Michel Houellebecq : humanity and its aftermath /

    No full text
    Michel Houellebecq is perhaps the single most successful and controversial of all contemporary novelists writing in French. Houellebecq has become a global publishing phenomenon: his books have been translated worldwide, three film adaptations of his work have been produced, and the author has been the subject of million-euro publishing deals and of successive media scandals in France. His novels narrate a metaphysical mutation or paradigm shift through which humanity as we know it ceases to be the over-riding value or focus of our world when it comes into conflict with a competitor in the form of a post-human or neo-human species. It is the aim of this book to appraise the global significance of Houellebecq's novelistic visions while at the same time situating them within the context of French literature, culture and society.Michel Houellebecq is perhaps the single most successful and controversial of all contemporary novelists writing in French.

    Roger Saylor and Michel Ferrari (eds): Epistemology and Science Education: Understanding the Evolution vsntelligent Design Controversy

    No full text
    Introduction: For decades the creationist movement has threatened the teaching of evolution in the United States, even in public schools. Similar worrisome trends have started in other Western countries. Beyond the major importance of reacting to attempts to undermine the proper teaching of evolutionary biology, the intelligent design issue should remind educators of the need to teach students about the nature of science and the practice of scientific knowledge formation—even in countries without objections to evolution education. While many recent books and edited volumes have addressed why intelligent design is flawed or what makes it bad science, concrete suggestions for how to improve the teaching of evolution at the secondary level have been less common. Epistemology and Science Education: Understanding the Evolution vs. Intelligent Design Controversy, edited by Roger Taylor and Michel Ferrari, makes a timely and welcome contribution to this aim by gathering essays that are theoretically informed by educational psychology, among other fields, and in most cases present recent cognitive psychology studies or some classroom projects. An in my view particularly interesting feature is that several essays— based on different education psychological reasons—converge on the recommendation that beyond the traditional classroom focus on different aspects of microevolution, it is vital to teach macroevolutionary change and human evolution

    Migraine as a process – challenges in the effective management of migraine

    Professor Michel D. Ferrari welcomed the delegates to what he anticipated would be a unique symposium, comprising traditional lectures and debate alongside interactive technology that would enable the audience to provide instantaneous feedback and participate in the discussion and diagnosis of several case histories. Prof. Ferrari told the audience that we are now in an exciting time, with new discoveries in the science of migraine increasing our understanding of how to manage the condition. “We now know that migraine is a brain disorder,” he said, “with neuropeptides playing an integral role in migraine pathophysiology.” He continued that it was hoped that advances in migraine science would result in new treatments using non-vascular mechanisms, methods to prevent migraine recurrence, and the use of genetic techniques to design more effective and well-tolerated preventive therapie

    Variations on the Author

    No full text
    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
