Variations on the Author
Get PDF“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

Euro area governance: What went wrong in the euro area? How to repair it? Bruegel Policy Contribution 2010/05, June 2010
Get PDFBruegel Director Jean Pisani-Ferry focuses on the institutional response to the euro area crisis with the Van Rompuy Task Force being set up to reform economic governance. The task force is due to present its progress report shortly and the author examines two basic questions in this context– what went wrong in the euro area (and the lessons learnt from this) and consequently what are the three choices for reforming governance. He explains why implementation of existing rules need to be strengthened and why the Van Rompuy Task Force should revisit the fundamental principles on which the EMU is founded and resist the temptation to solely address divergences

Authorship in the Interstices of History, Biography, Reality and Memory: Histoire(s) du cinéma and Cabra Marcado para Morrer
Get PDFEste artigo contrasta Histoire(s) du cinéma de Jean-Luc Godard e Cabra Marcado Para Morrer de Eduardo Coutinho, estão engajadas com a questão da autoria no cinema. Enquanto a imagem de Godard enfatiza a capacidade que tem um filme de transmitir a visão de mundo pessoal de um artista, a presença de Coutinho na tela funciona menos como um meio de subjetivar a obra do que como um catalizador instigando cetas reações nos "atores" filmados

Radiographic Analysis Of The Listhesis Associated With Lumbar Isthmic Spondylolysis.
No full textIn cases of spondylolysis, hypoplasia of L5 mimicking spondylolisthesis has been described, mainly based on MRI; however, the treatment implications have not been analyzed specifically. Assess the impact of hypoplasia of the L5 vertebral body in the constitution of the spondylolisthesis associated with isthmic spondylolysis. A retrospective radiographic study in the standing position was performed with 104 patients with L5 isthmic spondylolysis and 24 control subjects. Measurements of vertebral endplate length showed that the standard apparent posterior listhesis (APL) is made up of true listhesis (TL) and false listhesis (FL). FL is induced by hypoplasia of the L5 vertebral body relative to the S1 endplate. TL results from disk failure and leads to anterior listhesis (AL), which alters the balance of spinal curvatures. By integrating the potential for false listhesis into the classification systems for spondylolisthesis, we can adapt the treatment algorithms
Influence of the sagittal balance of the spine on the anterior pelvic plane and on the acetabular orientation.
No full textThe Anterior Pelvic Plane (APP), defined by the anterior superior iliac spines and the pubic tubercle, was commonly used as reference for positioning and postoperative evaluation of the orientation of the acetabular cup in total hip arthroplasty. APP was assumed to be vertical, but was not observed always so, mostly because of associated spinal diseases inducing perturbations in the harmony of the sagittal balance of the pelvi-spinal unit. Consequently a sagittal rotation of the pelvis occurs, and so a tilt of the APP which alters directly the orientation of the cup in upright position. An analysis of the APP tilt related to the sagittal balance of the spine was provided and its implication on the cup orientation. It appeared essential for an individual adjustment of the cup positioning to avoid a functional mal-position which can lead to an increased risk of dislocation and impingement
