Entrevista com Carlos Reis: de realismo e distopias
No full textCarlos Reis is a Full Professor at the University of Coimbra, owner of an “overwhelming” curriculum and, although he was noted as one of the great specialists in the work of Eça de Queirós, he was also the author of one of the reference studies on Portuguese neorealism - O discurso ideológico do Neo-Realismo português, from 1983 - which still serves as the basis for all research that has as its object of analysis the literature produced by a generation of authors who had in common “the cause of commitment and a new humanism” .Carlos Reis é Professor Catedrático da Universidade de Coimbra, dono de um curriculum “avassalador” e, embora se tenha notabilizado como um dos grandes especialistas na obra de Eça de Queirós, também foi autor de um dos estudos de referência sobre o neorrealismo português – O discurso ideológico do Neo-Realismo português, de 1983 – que ainda hoje serve de base para toda a pesquisa que tenha como objeto de análise a literatura produzida por uma geração de autores que tinham em comum “a causa do compromisso e de um novo humanismo”
REIS: Ruimtelijk Energetisch Informatie-Systeem ter ondersteuning van de gemeentelijke energieplanning
No full textIn de scriptie wordt een deel van het onderzoek naar een Ruimtelijk Energetisch Informatiesysteem (REIS) ter ondersteuning van de gemeentelijke energieplanning beschreven. Het betreft met name de informatie-, presentatie- en gegevensanalyse. Het REIS is reeds sinds 1983 onderwerp van onderzoek binnen de Stichting Studiecentrum voor Vastgoedinformatie (SSVI), doch dit onderzoek concentreert zich meer op een methodiek ten behoeve van de gemeentelijke energieplanning en de toepasbaarheid van het REIS binnen deze methodiek. In het afstudeeronderzoek staat het REIS zelf centraal, en er worden aspecten bij het onderzoek betrokken die in het SSVI-onderzoek niet aan de orde komen. Dit om de voorwaarden en uitgangspunten die ten behoeve van het REIS worden gedefinieerd een theoretische onderbouwing te geven. De theorie die bij het onderzoek wordt betrokken heeft zowel betrekking op de informatica, de informatievoorziening als de vastgoed. Deze vakgebieden komen in feite samen binnen de theorie met betrekking tot de vastgoedinformatiesystemen, een onderdeel van de geodesie. Het REIS dient gegevens te verstrekken op basis van energiekenmerken van vastgoedobjekten (geografische eenheden), hetgeen verklaart waarom het REIS onderwerp van studie is binnen de afdeling Geodesie. Het eerste deel (A) van het onderzoek betreft de energieproblematiek als zodanig en het tweede deel (B) het Ruimtelijk Energetisch Informatiesysteem.Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
Charles Reis Felix’s 1934
No full textAbstract. Reis Felix claims he has no imagination in order to justify the closeness between his fiction and his experienced life. When editing the Portuguese translation of his short novel, Da Gama, Cary Grant, and the Election of 1934, it became clear to me that Reis Felix is being endearingly but also unnecessarily modest. For two main reasons: 1) all fiction is autobiographical; 2) by giving form to his memory, Reis Felix accomplished a magnificent work of imagination. Mainly, where was he—the alter ego of the author—in the climatic cinema scene where a young woman faces the hardship of love whilst watching an (as far as I could verify, I’m still searching) inexistent Cary Grant movie
The Amazon of Arthur Reis
No full textIn the 1960s, it was launched the book A Amazônia e a cobiça internacional, authored by amazon Arthur César Ferreira Reis. In this book, the author denounced the imminent loss of the Amazon, which was under threat of being taken by foreign nations. This speech, that arrogated for itself the authority of the history with views to settle "in true" and, therefore, to have the necessary credibility, insofar as it was under serious denunciation, required a decision by the State, which, according to the author, should colonize / civilize / develop the Amazon in order to prevent its loss to other nations aware of the economic potential represented by the region. Arthur Reis' historiographic work, which deals predominantly with Amazonian issues, culminating in his political discourse of international greed, has earned him a captive place in national public life. Therefore, understanding the paths of this discourse and its links with the political context in which it was forged is the objective of this thesis, which, besides analyzing the political uses of the past that underpinned the historical representation of Arthur Reis, also proposed to investigate the representations built about the author in the Jornal do Comércio do Amazonas and in a set of printed newspapers from the country, predominantly from Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo.Tese (Doutorado)Na década de 1960, foi lançado o livro A Amazônia e a cobiça internacional, de autoria do amazonense Arthur Cezar Ferreira Reis. Neste, o autor denunciava a iminente perda da Amazônia, que estaria sob a ameaça de ser tomada por nações estrangeiras. Esse discurso, que arrogava para si a autoridade da história com vistas a se assentar “no verdadeiro” e, portanto, a se revestir da credibilidade necessária, na medida em que se fazia sob uma grave denúncia, exigia uma tomada de decisão por parte do Estado, que, segundo o autor, deveria colonizar/civilizar/desenvolver a Amazônia a fim de evitar a ação estrangeira na região. A obra historiográfica de Arthur Reis, que versa predominantemente sobre questões amazônicas, culminando com seu discurso político da cobiça internacional, rendeu-lhe um lugar cativo na vida pública nacional. Portanto, compreender os caminhos desse discurso e suas vinculações com o contexto político no qual foi forjado é o objetivo desta tese, que além de analisar os usos políticos do passado que deram base à representação histórica de Arthur Reis, propôs-se ainda a investigar as representações construídas acerca do autor no Jornal do Comércio do Amazonas e num conjunto de jornais impressos do país, predominantemente do Rio de Janeiro

Ricardo Reis, poeta engajado
No full textTraditionally, the poet Fernando Pessoa is seen by the critics as an author whose works privilege subjectivity instead of social matter. However, the philosopher Theodor Adorno alerts us that even the most pure poetry could be analyzed from a materialistic point of view. In this article, we would like to apply such form of thinking to de Odes of Ricardo Reis, basing our analysis also in the concept of Literary Field, by Pierre Bourdieu.Fernando Pessoa é tradicionalmente visto pelos estudiosos como um autor cujos poemas privilegiam a subjetividade em detrimento da matéria social da vida. A crítica adorniana, entretanto, nos alerta para o fato de que a própria pureza da expressão poética pode ser analisada a partir de um viés materialista, na medida em que ela mesma parte de uma exigência social. A partir da ideia de campo literário, cunhada pelo estudioso Pierre Bourdieu, pretendemos investigar a aplicação desse tipo de raciocínio analítico às Odes de Ricardo Reis
ESCRAVIDÃO E PATRIARCADO NA FICÇÃO DE MARIA FIRMINA DOS REIS | SLAVERY AND PATRIARCHY IN MARIA FIRMINA DOS REIS’ FICTION
No full textResumo: Primeira afrodescendente a publicar um romance no Brasil e, possivelmente, em toda a América Latina; e primeira autora de romance abolicionista na língua portuguesa, Maria Firmina dos Reis (1822-1917) antecipa em muitos aspectos a Negritude do século XX. Em Úrsula (1859), além de subverter a doxa ocidental que relegava o negro à condição de ser infrahumano, a autora articula a interseção entre gênero e etnicidade, a fim de representar patriarcado e escravidão como faces da mesma moeda. O presente trabalho relaciona a autora ao surgimento das narrativas da diáspora negra nas Américas e busca refletir sobre sentido e a importância do romance na literatura brasileira do século XIX. Abstract: First Afrodescendant woman to publish a novel in Brazil and, possibly, in all Latin America; and first author of an abolitionist novel in the Portuguese language, Maria Firmina dos Reis (b: 1822- d: 1917) anticipates in many aspects the “Negritude” of the twentieth century. In Ursula (1859), in addition to subverting the Western common belief that relegated the Colored to the condition of a subhuman being, the author articulates the intersection between gender and ethnicity in order to represent patriarchy and slavery as sides of the same coin. The present work relates the author to the emergence of the narratives of the black diaspora in the Americas and attempts to reflect on the meaning and importance of this novel in the Brazilian literature of the nineteenth century. Keywords: Maria Firmina dos Reis; Patriarchy; Slavery
Democracia e direitos humanos
No full textO Conceito de democracia encontra-se umbilicalmente associado aos Direitos Humanos. A Declaração Universal dos Direitos Humanos se constitui em um marco no contexto político e ideológico do tema em epígrafe. Os Direitos Humanos também se encontram inseridos, na atualidade, no contexto do princípio da extraterritorialidade, fazendo com que a democracia também se exteriorize como uma cultura humanística
