Análisis del comportamiento de las pymes colombianas en el mercado internacional
PublishedA través del tiempo la bien llamada internacionalización, ha logrado captar el interés de los empresarios colombianos. La tendencia del mercado genera la necesidad de conocer la dinámica del comercio exterior, por lo tanto se requiere tener unas bases sólidas que permitan a las compañías dirigirse a mercados externos diferentes a su lugar de origen. A pesar que en Colombia las Pymes representan un alto porcentaje de la actividad productiva, indus-trial y manufacturera del país, la gran mayoría no cuenta con las competencias requeridas para incursionar en el mercado internacional. Según ANIF (2016) en la gran encuesta pyme se identificó que en promedio, aproximadamente, el 80% de las pymes no realizaron exportaciones durante el 2016, ni muestran interés por hacerlo, esto en consecuencia a la desarticulación entre la acade-mia, la industria y el gobierno
Graciliano Ramos and the female profile drawn in Sinhá Vitória: strengths and weaknesses of the character in the work “Vidas secas”
This course conclusion work intends to study the human female profile in the work
<Vidas Secas= by the Brazilian modernist author Graciliano Ramos, through the
character Sinhá Vitória, seeking to identify how the design of such a profile can be
analyzed (in the light of Brazilian modernist literature ) and, if it is possible to determine
that Sinhá Vitória exerts force on the plot and on the other characters of the work
(catalyzed by his dreams) or if this is just another secondary character. For this
purpose, this research is inserted in the great and rich area of Brazilian Literature,
giving emphasis to Modernist Literature and in a more specific way, to Prose de Trinta,
clipping where the referred work is. Thus, in order to support the theories that will be
exposed in this analysis, books, articles and studies by authors such as: Candido
(1992), Castro (2001), Reis (1993), Holanda (1992), Graciliano (1938) will be used
among others that deal with the aforementioned work and, in a special way, about the
character Sinhá Vitória and his role within the plot. The present work is structured in
chapters that start the research of the macro (talking about Brazilian modernist
Literature and Graciliano Ramos) to the micro (entering the work and the profile of the
human female character within the plot), so that the reader understands the
contextualization of the thematic and its importance for the academic-scientific world.Este trabalho de conclusão de curso pretende estudar o perfil feminino na obra <Vidas
Secas= do autor brasileiro modernista Graciliano Ramos, por meio da personagem
Sinhá Vitória, buscando identificar como o desenho de tal perfil pode ser analisado (à
luz da literatura modernista brasileira) e, se é possível determinar que Sinhá Vitória
exerce força sobre o enredo e sobre os demais personagens da obra (catalisada por
seus sonhos) ou se esta é apenas mais uma personagem secundária. Para tanto, esta
pesquisa encontra-se inserido na grande e rica área da Literatura brasileira, dando
ênfase à Literatura modernista e de maneira mais especifica, à Prosa de Trinta, recorte
onde se encontra a referida obra. Assim, com o objetivo de embasar as teorias que
serão expostas nesta análise, serão utilizados livros, artigos e estudos de autores
como: Candido (1992), Castro (2001), Reis (1993), Holanda (1992), Graciliano (1938)
dentre outros que versam sobre a obra citada e, de maneira especial, sobre a
personagem Sinhá Vitória e o seu papel dentro da trama. O presente trabalho está
estruturado em capítulos que iniciam a pesquisa do macro (falando sobre a Literatura
modernista brasileira e Graciliano Ramos) ao micro (adentrando à obra e ao perfil da
personagem feminina humana dentro do enredo), para que o leitor compreenda a
contextualização da temática e a importância desta para o mundo acadêmicocientífico
Raízes integralistas da teoria tridimensional do direito: história das ideias de Miguel Reale (1933-1953)
Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências Jurídicas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Direito, Florianópolis, 2014.Este trabalho narra a história das ideias jurídicas de Miguel Reale, jurista e filósofo brasileiro, desde sua adesão ao Integralismo (1933) até a publicação de ?Filosofia do Direito? (1953). A pesquisa centrou-se na interpretação das ?Memórias? do autor (1987), em cotejo com suas obras sobre Integralismo, Teoria do Direito, Teoria do Estado, Filosofia Política e Filosofia do Direito. Também foi realizada pesquisa empírica sobre o diário integralista ?Acção?, dirigido por Reale de 1936 a 1938, cujos exemplares encontram-se microfilmados no Arquivo Público do Estado de São Paulo. As trajetórias intelectual e política do autor foram analisadas conjuntamente, mediante métodos da historiografia e da sociologia dos intelectuais, apoiados nas categorias analíticas de Michel Foucault e Pierre Bourdieu.Abstract : This work is a historical narrative about juridical ideas of Professor Miguel Reale, a brasilian jurist and philosopher, from the time he became involved with the political movement known as ?Integralismo? (1933) until the publication of ?Filosofia do Direito? (1953). This research was based on my interpretation of Reale?s memories (?Memórias?, from 1987), in comparison with his works about ?Integralismo?, Theory of Law, Theory of State, Political Philosophy and Philosophy of Law. In adition to this, it contains an empirical research about ?Acção?, an integralist newspaper directed by Reale between 1936 and 1938. Nowadays, this material is microfilmed in the ?Arquivo Público do Estado de São Paulo?, the State of São Paulo?s Public Archive. The intellectual and political trajectories of the author were analyzed altogether, through the methods of historiography and sociology of intellectuals. Some analytical categories created by Michel Foucault and Pierre Bourdieu were used to achieve this purpose

A metaforização da Amazônia em textos de Euclides da Cunha
Tese (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
