Urban agriculture discourses in São Paulo: formation, profusion, and capture

urbana têm sido capturados por alguns novos atores, dentre os quais parte do

appropriation of the urban agriculture agenda in the city of São Paulo. To
do so, we take up Caldas and Jayo’s (2019) historical analysis of the urban
agriculture practices in São Paulo in an attempt to characterize the different
discourses that have defended this long-standing activity in the city. This discussion reveals that traditional discourses of urban agriculture in São Paulo
have been seized by new actors, including part of the public sector, which appropriates these practices opportunistically, and the real estate market,
which promotes an imitation of urban agriculture as a marketing strategy.El artículo busca llamar la atención acerca de algunas formas

Jack Alive / Martin Dead : The Location of the "Author" in Jack London\u27s Martin Eden
No full textThis essay is an attempt to read Martin Eden, Jack Londonʼs autobiographical novel, in terms of the inextricable relationship between the author and the protagonist. Critics have often taken the unbalanced plot and the lack of ironic distance between narrator and character in Martin Eden as the technical weakness of London, but this paper argues that the achievement of this novel owes a great deal to the attachment of London to Martin. The unbalanced structure is a necessary product of the severe struggle of the author to kill his romantic alter ego. // Martin, who aspires to win Ruth Morse, tries to cross class boundaries by making a career of a writer. Even after realizing the emptiness of Ruth, who turns out to be nothing but a typical figure of the bourgeoisie, he somehow persists in loving her. The notion underlying here is that, for Martin, love, career and art are fundamentally inseparable. He objects to the aestheteʼs view of Brissenden on account of his separation of art from career. Martinʼs identity and life consist only in the triunity of love/career/art; the alternative is the repudiation of life. Thus, the unnatural delay of his disappointment in love can be regarded as Londonʼs strategy to set the suicide of Martin as the necessary consequence of the story. // By finishing the story and killing Martin, London finally detaches himself from Martin, reconstructs his self, and, unlike Martin, survives as a professional writer. In this sense, Martin Eden is a story about “writerʼs self-reconstruction.
Muriel Spark as auto-biographer in <i>Curriculum</i> <i>Vitae</i>
No full textExamining Muriel Spark's main aims as an auto-biographer in her work Curriculum Vitae brings important resources in the exploration of the genre of autobiographical writing. This with the theoretical engagement, allows consideration of the critical issues surrounding the roles of author and reader in the construction of the literary self. Spark demands the reader participate in the constructon of textual meaning; overturning the conventions of autobiography, satirising its claims to omniscience and highlighting the impossibility of an authentic voice with regard to the self
