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

No full textImagens de Otto Maria Carpeaux: esboço de biografia
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em História, Florianópolis, 2015.Este esboço de biografia procura citar algumas imagens de Otto Maria Carpeaux: construções biográficas de naturezas múltiplas, elaboradas em contextos, por atores e sob condições igualmente díspares. Está constituído a partir de uma visão crítica da História, o que permite que ?outras imagens?, fragmentárias e não monumentais, também tenham espaço. Em diálogo com o princípio da montagem, este esboço apresenta-se em duas partes. Na primeira, Imagens possíveis, estão citadas as imagens elaboradas em vida e post mortem acerca do austríaco-brasileiro que nasceu em Viena em 1900, se exilou no Brasil em 1939 e morreu no Rio de Janeiro, em 1978. Na segunda, Montagens possíveis, apresentam-se duas possibilidades de exercício biográfico: pela leitura alegórica do documentário O velho e o Novo (Otto Maria Carpeaux), entendido como instrumento de intervenção no contexto ditatorial brasileiro e de uma reelaboração biográfica concernentes às suas experiências europeias; e pelo Caderno de imagens críticas, registro dos encontros em Carpeaux pelo meio de imagens críticas produzidas a partir da cesura do presente.Abstract : This biographical sketch attempts to quote some images of Otto Maria Carpeaux: various types of biographical constructions, carried out in different contexts by disparate authors under conditions just as distinct. It stems from a critical view of history, allowing for ?other images? fragmented and non-monumental ? to share the space.In dialogue with the montage principle, this sketch has two parts. The first, Possible Images, quotes the images produced during and after the life of the Austrian-Brazilian, who was born in Vienna in 1900, went to Brazil in exile in 1939 and died in Rio de Janeiro in 1978. The second part, Possible Montages, presents two possibilities of a biographical exercise: through the allegorical reading of documentary O Velho e o Novo (Otto Maria Carpeaux), understood as an instrument of intervention in the Brazilian dictatorship context and as a biographical retelling of the author?s European experiences; and through my Scrapbook of Critical Images, a record of the encounters in Carpeaux through critical images produced from the caesura of the present
Maria José ao encontro de Tchekov
No full text“A Carta da Corcunda para o Serralheiro” (“Letter from the Hunchback Girl to the Metalworker”), signed by Maria José, was first performed in a theatre show in 1988 (by actress-director Maria do Céu Guerra), two years before the typescript was published in book form for the first time by Teresa Rita Lopes. The evidence upon which this article is built is that it was the theatre that revealed the dramatic destination of this singular epistle of the only female heteronym that Fernando Pessoa invented, which was also the last heteronym to be created by the author. The dramatic construction of Maria José can be approximated to the character-building strategies in Anton Chekhov’s realist dramaturgy, in a way that differs from Pessoa’s other dramaturgical experiences. The analysis of Chekhov’s ascendancy over Stanislavski’s research, as well as the importance of Schopenhauer’s conception of the tragicomic, which is simultaneously projected onto Chekhov’s theatre and Maria José’s profile, are favourable lines of reading for this rapprochement between Pessoa and the Russian fiction writer and playwright. Pessoa’s readings of Chekhov’s texts (such as the play Uncle Vania and the short story “Vanka”) provide relevant data for assessing the magnitude of this encounter.“A Carta da Corcunda para o Serralheiro”, assinada por Maria José, começou por ser difundida num espectáculo de teatro em 1988 (pela actriz-encenadora Maria do Céu Guerra) dois anos antes de o dactiloscrito se ver publicado em livro, pela primeira vez, por Teresa Rita Lopes. Parte-se da evidência de ter sido o teatro a revelar a destinação dramática da epístola singular do único heterónimo mulher que Fernando Pessoa inventou, que terá sido também o último a ser criado pelo autor. A construção dramática de Maria José pode ser aproximada às estratégias de construção de personagem na dramaturgia realista de Anton Tchekov, de um modo que se distingue de outras experiências dramatúrgicas de Pessoa. A análise do ascendente de Tchekov sobre as pesquisas de Stanislavski, bem como a importância da concepção de tragicómico em Schopenhauer, que se projecta em simultâneo sobre o teatro de Tchekov e sobre o perfil de Maria José, são linhas de leitura propícias para esta aproximação entre Pessoa e o ficcionista e dramaturgo russo. As leituras de textos de Tchekov por parte de Pessoa (como o caso da peça Tio Vânia e o conto “Vanka”) fornecem dados relevantes para avaliar a magnitude deste encontro
Fairness in primary care procurement. Measures of under-doctoredness: Sensitivity analysis and trends
No full textThe White Paper Our Health, Our Care, Our Say noted concerns about geographical equity of access
to GPs (Department of Health, 2006, page 63), listed the 30 PCTs with the lowest number of GPs per
head of need adjusted population, and set out policy initiatives to attract additional providers of
general practice services to these PCTs.
We were asked to evaluate the impact of these policies on the bottom 30 PCTs and will report in
Autumn 2010. In this report we consider a number of related measurement issues which are relevant
for consideration of policy on equality of access to general practice.
Robustness of PCT rankings
GP provision per head of need adjusted population is measured as
GP_perhead=(GPs/need weights × raw population) x 100,000
There are reasonable alternative definitions of “GPs”, needs, and population. We examined how
sensitive rankings of PCTs and the set of 30 worst provided PCTs were to these alternative definitions.
• Using the White Paper measure of GPs (whole time equivalents, excluding registrars and
retainers, as at March 2005) we found that the set of worst provided PCTs is not very sensitive
to alternative needs and raw population measures. For 12 alternative need and population
adjustments, only 3 of the White Paper PCTs are not in the 30 PCTs which appear most often
in the bottom 30 over the 12 alternatives (Table 5).
• But GPs make up 30% of the staff in general practice and the mix of GPs, practice nurses, and
other practice staff varies considerably across PCTs (Figure 6). Hence rankings of PCTs and
the set of worst provided PCTs are much more sensitive to the definition of general practice
staff (Tables 2, 9, 10; Figure 5).
• When the date at which GPs were measured was changed from March 2005 to September
2005, 23 of the White Paper’s bottom 30 PCTs were still in the bottom 30 (Table 2) and
measures of provision for different need weights and raw population were very highly
correlated (Table 7).
• Measures of provision calculated using the White Paper definitions were also highly correlated
between consecutive years (Table 12)
Robustness of measures of overall inequality in distribution
It is also of policy interest to know how the overall level of geographical inequality in GP distribution
across all PCTs is changing over time. Overall inequality may be affected both by policies targeted at
the worst provided PCTs and by more general policies, for example by increases in the overall supply
of GPs.
We used the Gini coefficient as the measure of overall inequality of distribution of GPs per need
adjusted population across the 303 PCTs. We examined the effect of alternative definitions of GPs,
need, population on the Gini coefficient. We found (Table 20):
• the Gini is insensitive to the definition of “GPs”
• the Gini is greatly affected by the choice of need adjustment and population measure. Using
the White Paper definition of GPs, the Gini is greatest when the need adjustment is the
Standardised Mortality Ratio and the population is measured by GP lists. It is smallest when
the need adjustment is by consultation rate and the White Paper population measure is used.
We also examined trends in the Gini
• recent (2002-2005) trends are similar across alternative measures of GP provision per need
adjusted population
• they all suggest a very small trend increase in inequality (Table 21, Figure 8)
• data from 1974-2005 suggest, allowing for breaks in the series caused by changing definitions
and NHS administrative geography, that inequality has not fallen since the mid 1980s and may
have increased slightly (Figure 9)
Conclusion
Our main conclusion is that whilst the set of worst provided PCTs varies, sometimes substantially,
with the choice of GP supply measure, need adjustment, and population base, the set of 30 identified
by the White Paper contains a core of around 10 PCTs which are amongst the worst provided on
most possible alternative definitions. The White Paper set also contains a larger fringe group which
are in the bottom 30 on some definitions, particularly when the White Paper definition of GPs is used,
but which also often fall outside the worst provided bottom 30.
There is no obviously right set of definitions of GPs, need adjustments, and populations which can be
implemented with available data. Judgements are required and those underlying the White Paper
seem not unreasonable. However, we suggest that consideration be given to broadening the
definition of the general practice staff from GPs to include practice nurses and possibly non-clinical
staff as well
