Interview with Rose Cambra Freitas Pt. 1
No full textRose Cambra Freitas was born on June 16th, 1932, on a Hawaiian Commercial and Sugar (HC&S) plantation in Puʻunēnē, Maui. Her father, who was born and raised in Kula, worked as a luna in the sugarcane fields, while her mother was a homemaker. Rose’s mother had twelve children, nine girls and three boys, of which Rose was the second eldest. Growing up on the plantation, Rose was quickly introduced to horses and learned to ride. In 1951, a rancher named Raymond Freitas came to her home in Makawao to meet her and asked her if she liked riding horses. They started riding horses together, and in 1952, Rose and Raymond were married. Rose and her husband volunteered in Haleakalā National Park for fifty years, working in the cabins, assisting in feral animal control efforts, and helping with other projects. Rose has led a distinguished life as a member of the Makawao community, as a nationally recognized cowgirl, and an honorary park ranger at Haleakalā. In 1999, she was honored by the Department of the Interior for her volunteer contributions. In 2005, she was selected as one of the 100 most influential people of Maui County of the last century, and in 2006 she was formally inducted into the National Cowgirl Hall of Fame. Additionally, in 1974, Rose and her daughter, Sharon, founded the All Girls Rodeo and Junior Boys and Girls Rodeo Association

A Case for a Philosophical History of Psychology: An Interview with Saulo de Freitas Araujo at the Centenary of the Death of Wilhelm Wundt (1832–1920)
No full textOn the occasion of the centenary of Wilhelm Wundt’s death (1832–1920), we had a conversation with Saulo de Freitas Araujo on the works and influence of the German author. After a brief introduction, the conversation begins with a reflection on the aims and objectives of Araujo’s work on the history and philosophy of Wundt’s psychology. A philosophical approach to the history of science and of psychology is then described. After considering the social and intellectual context of the revival of Wundt scholarship during the 1970s, Wundt’s philosophical and psychological project is discussed. The conversation ends with general reflections on Wundt’s legacy to recent and contemporary psychology.Fil: Fierro, Catriel. Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata; Argentina.

Freitas Versus Grotius (1959)
No full textThis chapter considers the work of Franciscus Seraphin de Freitas, a professor at the University of Valadolid, in particular his treatise entitled De Justo Imperio Lusitanorum Asiatico, and compares his influence to that of Hugo Grotius. Freitas and Grotius were participants in a case that arose from the seizure of a Portuguese vessel in the Straits of Malacca by a Dutch Admiral employed by the Dutch East India Company. Its capture was questioned by some Company members who opposed the adjudication of the prize by the Dutch Admiralty Court. Grotius defended the case and Freitas was chosen to state a case for the King of Spain who was also then the sovereign of Portugal. The chapter argues that Freitas deserves his due place among the writers of the seventeenth century who contributed to the clarification of problems relating to the legal status of the sea and to European–Asian inter-state relations.</p
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

Author-reader relationship at the site of the work
No full textWithin the format of a critical exegesis and four original works of extended prose fiction, this thesis explores the interaction between the author and reader and argues that literary meaning is the outcome of shifts of power between these two entities. It concludes that because these shifts in power are orchestrated by the author, the author is relevant to understanding how meaning is produced
