Nelson Rodrigues e sua cena: teatro da dupla tensão, cinema da síntese
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-graduação em LiteraturaEsta tese busca uma leitura possível das razões do fracasso de grande parte das adaptações da dramaturgia de Nelson Rodrigues para o cinema. Sua primeira investida percorre o teatro rodrigueano, elaborando o conceito de dupla tensão como marca do autor. A primeira tensão, articulada ainda nos domínios temáticos, responderia pelo embate firmado entre o Brasil anterior à gripe-espanhola e os "novos tempos", dominados por uma modernidade produtora de tripla decadência, como pensa Eric Hobsbawm. A segunda tensão, insinuada nos domínios estéticos, promoveria certo afastamento do conceito de drama puro, segundo teoria de Peter Szondi, ao se deixar contaminar por gêneros diversos, posicionando-se entre o melodramático e o trágico. Neste contexto, Toda nudez será castigada, peça de 1965, seria o ponto mais alto desta trajetória. Tal conformação, perseguida em todo o teatro do autor, não parece ter encontrado eco nas releituras do cinema, quase todas reducionistas do universo tensional. A única experiência de exceção parece acontecer na versão de Arnaldo Jabor justamente para Toda nudez será castigada, filme de 1973 que transforma em ritmo próprio as tensões típicas da dramaturgia rodrigueana, movimento contrário às outras versões, que tentaram corrigi-las com sínteses nas mais variadas proposições
Joseph Bimeler letter to Peter Kaufmann, June 8, 1844
No full textLetter from J. M. Bimeler (by Christian Weibel) to Peter Kaufmann, acknowledging receipt of Bibles and spelling books and ordering more Bibles. He repeats his statement from his letter of April 31, 1844, of a preference for Bibles that embrace the Apocrypha. The letter also requests a catalog of books on hand at Kaufmann's establishment.
Led by Joseph Bimeler (sometimes spelled Bäumeler) in 1817, a group of Lutheran separatists left Germany and eventually established the small community of Zoar in Tuscarawas County, Ohio. The group formed the Society of Separatists of Zoar, in which each person donated his or her property to the community as a whole, and in exchange for their work, the society would provide for them. After decades of economic prosperity, the unity of the village declined, and by 1898 the Zoarites disbanded the society.
Peter Kaufmann was a German immigrant and intellectual. He arrived first in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1820; in 1826 he became professor of languages at the Harmony Society town of Economy, Pennsylvania. In 1827, Kaufmann led the establishment of Teutonia, a utopian community in Columbiana County, Ohio, and published its weekly titled "Teutonia: The Herald of a Better Time." Following this he moved to Canton, Ohio, where he became translator and editor of "Der Vaterlandsfreund und Geist der Zeit" under Solomon Sala. Additionally, Kaufmann wrote a number of books on education, as well as a German almanac. He was also an influential Democrat, counting President Van Buren among his friends, and knew Ralph Waldo Emerson

A transition pedagogy for student engagement and first-year learning, success and retention
No full textThis chapter argues that higher education institutions (HEIs) must direct coordinated, whole-of-institution attention to changing, both culturally and structurally, the fundamental and prevailing character of the first-year experience (FYE). It leverages evidence from the sector(Nelson, Kift and Clarke, 2011), from research-led practice in our institution (for example, Kift, Nelson and Clarke, 2010; Nelson et al.,in press) and from research conducted under an Australian Learning and Teaching Council Senior Fellowship (Kift, 2009a, 2009b, 2009c) to assert that student engagement and success should not be left to chance, particularly those aspects such as curriculum design and enactment that are within our institutional control
Engraçadinha : passagens e cortes / Nelson Rodrigues na televisão
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e ExpressãoAsfalto Selvagem I e II - Engraçadinha seus amores e seus pecados foi escrito por Nelson Rodrigues, originalmente, sob a forma de folhetim, diariamente publicado no jornal Ultima Hora (1959-60), e seguindo o caminho de seus folhetins anteriores recebeu uma impressão posterior (1961) em forma de livro, "transformando-se" em romance. Em 1995, novamente, Asfalto Selvagem... migra para outro veículo da indústria cultural indo parar num seriado de televisão. Este trabalho propõe retraçar as pontes entre o folhetim como forma de literatura industrializada e a televisão como veículo da indústria cultural e como bem simbólico (na cultura brasileira), a fim de localizar Asfalto Selvagem: Engraçadinha seus amores e seus pecados em sua passagem do jornal à televisão em alguns aspectos implicados nesse processo. Em primeiro lugar, na obra de Nelson Rodrigues, Engraçadinha destaca-se em sua travessia social de gêneros e como romance-folhetim. Em segundo lugar, há uma re-montagem histórica da teledramaturgia como pano de fundo propiciador de uma exposição do folhetim de Nelson Rodrigues. Em terceiro lugar, a passagem, propriamente dita, do folhetim à imagem, se por um lado reforça o caráter conservador da TV, por outro, atualiza a transgressividade erótica presente no texto rodrigueano, já como uma adaptação ao século XX do folhetim do século XIX

Peter Logan: Victorian Fetishism [Audio interview]
No full textPeter Logan is the author of Nerves and Narratives: A Cultural History of Hysteria in Nineteenth-Century British Prose (1997) and, more recently, Victorian Fetishism: Intellectuals and Primitives (2009). On May 15, 2012, Fred Rowland interviewed Peter Logan to discuss Victorian Fetishism, which details the development of ideas about the primitive and how these concepts set the boundaries of culture in Victorian Britain. Drawing from Lucretius, Vico, and Auguste Comte, Peter Logan explains how fetishism – the defining feature of culture’s absence – figured in the works of literary and cultural critic Matthew Arnold, realist novelist George Eliot, and anthropologist Edward Tylor.Temple University.

A Scalable Architecture for Harvest-Based Digital Libraries - The ODU/Southampton Experiments
No full textThis paper discusses the requirements of current and emerging applications based on the Open Archives Initiative (OAI) and emphasizes the need for a common infrastructure to support them. Inspired by HTTP proxy, cache, gateway and web service concepts, a design for a scalable and reliable infrastructure that aims at satisfying these requirements is presented. Moreover it is shown how various applications can exploit the services included in the proposed infrastructure. The paper concludes by discussing the current status of several prototype implementations
