O descobrimento do Brasil (1937): Villa-Lobos e Humberto Mauro nas dobras do tempo
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Antropologia Social, Florianópolis, 2014.Esta é uma etnografia de Descobrimento do Brasil (1937), de Humberto Mauro, um filme em preto e branco, de uma hora de duração, com poucos diálogos e percorrido de seu início ao fim por música de Villa-Lobos. Organiza-se a partir de dois principais eixos de investigação, quais sejam as técnicas de reprodução constituintes do cinema e o som, sobretudo a música, do filme. Descobrimento do Brasil passou por uma série de intervenções e restaurações, que garantiram sua preservação, mas que também, em alguns contextos, implicaram em dúvidas que põem em questão a legitimidade do filme que conhecemos hoje. Partindo dessas questões, a tese aborda as técnicas de reprodução que fundam a produção cinematográfica. Essas técnicas são tratadas como próprias ao mundo moderno, caracterizado pela falência da representação, ligada à perda da identidade e pelo advento do simulacro  repetição já incidindo sobre repetição, diferença sobre diferença. Articulando uma Antropologia da Técnica, busca-se produzir dados a partir da investigação dos processos de elaboração de som e música e de sua relação com a imagem em movimento. Para discutir hipóteses sobre possíveis intervenções sofridas pela trilha musical do filme e propor uma interpretação acerca das estratégias narrativas adotadas por Mauro, elabora-se um quadro de decupagem analítica, por meio do qual se busca constituir a partitura do filme. A tese também trata das quatro suítes de Villa-Lobos, igualmente intituladas Descobrimento do Brasil, que, supostamente, foram compostas para o filme. Descobrimento do Brasil é ainda abordado enquanto versão do mito da Descoberta do Brasil emergida em uma conjuntura particular, qual seja a Era Vargas, relacionando-se às trajetórias de seus criadores e às formas específicas com que eles respondem às possibilidades e políticas da época. Busca-se tratar dessas questões por meio das revisões biográficas de Humberto Mauro e de Villa-Lobos, também enfatizando como o filme é mediado por relações de poder constituintes do tempo. Assim, para descrever sua trajetória e seus ciclos de esquecimento e retomada, é desenvolvida uma discussão sobre concepções de tempo, tendo a oposição entre as compreensões do tempo como um ciclo, reversível, e como uma flecha, irreversível, como eixo de análise. Busca-se, com isso, demonstrar o caráter dinâmico do filme, que não apenas atravessa o tempo, mas o constitui de forma particular, nem cíclica, nem linear, mas espiral.Abstract : This ethnography addresses Humberto Mauro s Descobrimento do Brasil (1937), an one hour length, black-and-white motion picture that presents few dialogs and features music by Villa-Lobos from beginning to end. The ethnography is organized based on two axes of investigation: 1) the reproduction techniques constitutive of cinematography; 2) the motion picture s audio, above all its music. Descobrimento do Brasil underwent a series of interventions and restorations, which assured its preservation, but also, in some contexts, implied in doubts that question the legitimacy of the motion picture we know today. Having these questions as starting point, this doctoral dissertation addresses the reproduction techniques that base the cinematographic production. These techniques are understood as proper to the modern world, characterized by failure of representation, related to the loss of identity and the advent of the simulacrum  repetition already producing repetition; difference producing difference. Articulating an Anthropology of Technique, this study aims to produce data by the investigation of the processes of sound and music elaboration and its relation to the image in movement. In order to discuss hypotheses on possible interventions underwent by the soundtrack of the motion picture and also propose an interpretation regarding the narrative strategies adopted by Mauro, a frame of analytic decoupage is elaborated, aiming to constitute the musical sheet of the movie. This dissertation also addresses the four suites by Villa-Lobos, equally titled Descobrimento do Brasil, which were, supposedly, composed for the motion picture. Descobrimento do Brasil is also approached as version for the myth of the Discovery of Brazil which emerged in a particular conjuncture, the Vargas Era, also relating the trajectory of the creators and the specific ways they respond to that time s possibilities, policies and politics. This study aims to discuss these issues by reviewing biographic literature on Humberto Mauro and Villa-Lobos, also highlighting how this motion picture is mediated by time-constitutive relations of power. Thereby, in order to describe the trajectory of this motion picture and its cycles of forgetfulness and remembrance, this study discusses the conceptions of time, taking into consideration as axis of analysis the opposition between the notions of time as cycle, reversible, and time as an arrow, irreversible. Based on that, this thesis aims to demonstrate the dynamic feature of this motion picture, which not only crosses time, but constitutes it in a particular way: neither cyclic, nor linear, but spiral
Magdalena de Heitor Villa-Lobos: la música clásica, el escenario de Broadway y los retos de la reimaginación
No full textThis essay explores Magdalena, the sole foray into the Broadway musical by the celebrated Brazilian composer Heitor Villa-Lobos, which premiered in 1948. Until recently, “serious” musicology treated the musical only rarely. Nowadays, however, many scholars have analyzed the musical—considered by many the “quintessentially American” genre—from aesthetic, social, cultural, and political perspectives. Musicological study of Villa-Lobos reflects this bias: previously, scholars concentrated on his symphonies, his piano music, his chamber works, and his operas, largely overlooking Magdalena. In this project, Magdalena is the main focus. I evaluate Villa-Lobos’s status in the United States, relating the reception of his works to prevailing images of Latin American music. I propose that Magdalena, known in theater circles as the “Latin American musical,” constitutes a chapter, albeit a brief one, in the discourse of “tropicalization,” a term coined by Frances R. Aparicio and Susana Chávez-Silverman to refer to the tendency on the part of the mass audience in the U.S. to reduce Latin America to a unitary fantasy, a phenomenon that aptly meshes with some of the values of the classic Broadway musical. Finally, since many classic musicals are now being reshaped in accordance with current sensibilities on race, gender, class, and identity, I offer possible reimaginings of Magdalena.Este ensayo analiza Magdalena, el único intento del célebre compositor brasileño Heitor Villa-Lobos de componer un musical de Broadway, estrenado en 1948. Hasta poco, la musicología “seria” no se ocupaba del musical. Hoy día, no obstante, muchos investigadores estudian el musical—considerado por muchos como el género estadounidense por antonomasia—desde perspectivas estéticas sociales, culturales y políticas. El estudio musicológico de la obra de Villa-Lobos demuestra esta predisposición: anteriormente los musicólogos se concentraban en sus sinfonías, sus obras para piano, su música de cámara y sus óperas, haciendo caso omiso de Magdalena. En este ensayo, Magdalena es el foco principal. Evalúo el estatus de Villa-Lobos en los Estados Unidos, identificando temas en la recepción crítica de su obra que reflejan las impresiones de la música latinoamericana en los Estados Unidos. Propongo que Magdalena, conocido en ámbitos teatrales como “el musical latinoamericano,” constituye un capítulo, aunque breve, del fenómeno conocido como la “tropicalización,” término acuñado por Frances R. Aparicio y Susana Chávez-Silverman para denominar la tendencia por parte el público estadounidense de reducir América Latina a una fantasía unitaria, fenómeno que también corresponde a los valores del musical de Broadway clásico. Por último, ya que muchos musicales clásicos siguen siendo reformulados hoy día de acuerdo con actitudes actuales sobre raza, clase, género e identidad, ofrezco posibles reconceptualizaciones de Magdalena

The purpose of this study was to develop a viable FV-deficient mouse model using CRISPR/Cas9 technology. A viable pathological model of the disease was not available to develop new therapies. A previous in silico study was performed to select a mutation causing a mild disease phenotype in humans (Thr1898Met missense). Such mutation was replicated in mice by CRISPR-mediated homology directed repair. Following crossing, homozygous individuals were subjected to coagulometry assays, including FV levels, prothrombin time (PT), and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT). The in silico study suggested that the mutation destabilizes FV structure of both mouse and human variants, putatively producing a mild phenotype of the disease in mice. Mendelian inheritance was observed in the offspring. No spontaneous signs of blood clotting disturbances, premature deaths or gestational dysfunctions were observed. FV levels in homozygous animals were 24.5% ± 5.1; 39.7 sec ± 2.8; PT was 61.8% ± 6.3; 23.4 sec ± 1.6 (INR = 1.47 ± 0.12); and aPTT was 46.9 sec ± 3.2. A viable FV-deficient mouse model was generated by introducing a missense mutation in FV. The model exhibits a mild phenotype of the disease, akin to that observed in humans.Comunidad de MadridUniversidad Complutense de Madrid- Banco SantanderMinisterio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades ( España)Depto. de FisiologíaDepto. de Producción AnimalDepto. de Genética, Fisiología y MicrobiologíaFac. de VeterinariaFac. de Ciencias BiológicasTRUEpu
Federico Albert: apreciaciones sobre la caza y pesca de los lobos marinos en los territorios australes de Chile, 1901
No full textEl trabajo analiza los aportes de Federico Albert a la discusión sobre los beneficios y perjuicios de la Ordenanza de Pesca Nº 1.623 que reguló la explotación de los lobos marinos en los mares y costas de Chile entre 1892 y 1904 a través de dos de sus trabajos: “Los lobos marinos de Chile” y “Los pinípedos de Chile”, publicados en 1901 en la Revista Chilena de Historia Natural del Museo de Historia Natural de Valparaíso y en Anales de la Universidad de Chile, respectivamente. Se concluye que, como científico y funcionario público, Albert fue fundamental para buscar nuevas alternativas para proteger a estos mamíferos marinos a principios del siglo XX
Improving navigation and preventing erosion near San Pablo, Bolivar
No full textIn this report a study is carried out on the Magdalena River near the village of San Pablo, Colombia. The Magdalena River near San Pablo experiences two major issues which are related to navigation and erosion. The major problem for inland navigation is the sharp bend of the Magdalena River at San Pablo, which has too small a radius, causing problems for navigation. Furthermore, there are some parts in the considered river reach where the water depth is insufficient according to the requirements for navigability. Regarding the erosion problem near San Pablo, the main driving force is assumed to be high flow velocities and large near-bank water depths due to spiral flow in the outer bend. The main flow passing by the river bank of San Pablo gradually takes soil particles away, resulting in a continuous erosion process. In addition, the developed steep slope and height of the river bank results in mass failure mechanisms, increasing the erosion problems even further in the future. Several possiblemeasures have been analysed to solve this navigational problem, such as river training works consisting of groynes, longitudinal dams and a spit, where the latter one consists of a land tongue and a longitudinal dam connected to it. Measures with an even bigger impact are also considered, such as a bend cut-off and a river bypass. There are several possible measures to solve the erosion problem, such as a revetment, groynes and geogrids. Both the navigability and erosion problem can be solved in an integral way by a combination of different measures. In this study five alternatives are proposed, which are groynes, a spit, longitudinal dams, a bend cut-off and a river bypass. With the help of a multi-criteria analysis the most promising alternatives have been selected, which showed the spit to be the best in terms of reducing erosion and increasing navigation possibilities. With the help of the Delft3D model the general up- and downstream consequences have been explored of the most promising alternatives. The large river training structures, such as longitudinal dams and a bend cut-off, do not result in the desired behaviour of the river reach. Therefore, it is not advised to completely restrict the river in its flow conditions since this in general leads to more difficulties as the restriction does not allow the river to get to its equilibrium within a short period of time. However, both the groynes and the spit pose fewer restrictions to the river flow and show large improvements of the current situation in terms of navigability and erosion. The groynes are especially successful in reducing erosion problems at the river bank of San Pablo. However, the spit is more effective in driving the main part of the flow through the current navigation channel, which results in a deeper and wider channel. Therefore, it is recommended to combine the spit and the groynes to obtain an integrated solution for both erosion and navigation problems. However, for both river training works, erosion problems are encountered downstream of San Pablo. This should be a major part of future research since problems should be solved instead of shifted up- or downstream.Water Management, Hydraulic EngineeringCivil Engineering and Geoscience
