For technical assistance, please contact [email protected] / Custodial history: The owner inherited it from his father.The manuscript is a Mandinka Ajami exegesis of the popular Mālikī jurisprudence text known as Al-Akhdarī, which is used across Muslim West Africa. The title, Al-Akhdarī, is based on the name of the Algerian scholar, Abū Yazīd ʿAbd al-Raḥmān bin Muḥammad al-Ṣaghīr bin Muḥammad bin ʿĀmir, who authored the original text. Similar interpretations and commentaries of Al-Akhdarī in Ajami exist in other languages in West Africa. Al-Akhdarī is one of the key texts of Islamic jurisprudence studied in Islamic schools in West Africa. The author of the Mandinka exegesis of Al-Akhdarī, like many other Muslims in the region, used Mandinka Ajami in order to broadly disseminate the ethos and traditions of Islam among his people. His intention was to ensure that Mandinka readers understand Islamic jurisprudence in their own language so that they can practice their religion appropriately
Credibility and Independence of the World Anti-doping Agency: A Barro-Gordin-Type Approach to Antidoping Policy
No full textThis article argues that the antidoping policy faces a credibility problem very similar to that identified for the conduct of the monetary policy. Using a theoretical framework a la Barro-Gordon in which athletes form rational expectations about authorities' effort against doping, the author shows that strong antidoping policies are not credible unless conducted by a completely independent World Anti-Doping Agency, provided that its president has either a very strong aversion to doping or a wage contract that incites him or her to implement the announced level of effort.
Do fenômeno poético à experiência urbana: (por) uma poesia de Nicolas Behr
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-Graduação em LiteraturaO estudo da poesia de Nicolas Behr, poeta brasileiro que publica seu primeiro livro em 1977, tem como objetivo traçar um percurso que evidencia, nos recursos lingüísticos utilizados, uma poesia capaz de estabelecer uma outra relação com a linguagem, na repetição e nos vínculos com formas de manifestações poéticas e códigos de tradição já antes anunciados. Para isso, o corpus deste trabalho será o livro Laranja Seleta, antologia de poemas de Nicolas Behr publicado em 2007, além de poemas esparsos não presentes na antologia, como alguns inéditos, e outros dos livros Menino Diamantino (2003); Primeira Pessoa (2005) e Braxília Revisitada (2005). Nesse sentido, trata-se da análise de um registro poético ocupado de cenas cotidianas, de falas e fatos colhidos no dia-a-dia, da relação com a infância, das imagens da cidade, e do próprio ato poético. Desse modo, este trabalho visa, ainda, pensar as imagens que emergem do texto de Nicolas Behr: Brasília, Braxília e seus espelhos, utopias, vazios e imbricações - escavação da poesia e da cidade. Porque o texto do poeta também cerca e produz outros lugares: nem empíricos, utópicos, tampouco urbanos. Lugares de experiência da língua na poesia. Para isso, as idéias de Michel Foucault acerca das heterotopias serão um dos suportes para pensar a relação entre Brasília e Braxília como duas experiências heterotópicas e anacrônicas imbricadas em sua construção lingüística, espacial e geográfica. Espaços e contra-espaços ausentes-presentes, criadores de identidades e alteridades. Ainda é importante lembrar que noções como arquivo, memória e tempo, que remetem às teorias de Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault e Paolo Virno permearão parte desse estudo. Assim, também será possível lançar um olhar sobre as relações estabelecidas entre sujeito e cidade, evidenciando a experiência urbana que arma estratégias de sobrevivência não só na cidade de Brasília, mas também, naquilo que a cidade não é, na falta, nas lacunas e espaços-outros, constituídos na operação poética realizada. Uma leitura por entre o texto, a partir e para além dele, nas artimanhas poéticas que exercitam a forma e a linguagem no corpo do poema
