    Violence against women addressed in Carolina Maria de Jesus's work "Quarto de Despego"

    No full text
    This article aims to present the violence against women highlighted in the work Quarto de despejo: diary of a favelada by Carolina Maria de Jesus. The theme was chosen based on the researcher's professional experience, as she witnessed violence against women and the emotional and physical damage resulting from this type of aggression. In order to achieve the objective of this study, a bibliographic research of a qualitative nature was carried out, since it is a literary analysis, using the phenomenological approach as a method of approach. The theoretical foundation was based on the vision of Vera Teixeira de Aguiar, Maria da Glória Bordini, Regina Zilberman, Thomas Bonnici and Mikhail Bakhtin. As a result, it was observed that violence against women was perceived in the work in question in different ways, therefore writing is a form of self-defense for the author. With her critical, reflective and, at the same time, poetic vision, Carolina gave voice to the marginalized, opening up the social neglect. Important issues that should always receive a special look and never be left aside, were denounced by her through her marginal literature.Este artigo tem por objetivo apresentar a violência contra a mulher destacada na obra Quarto de despejo: diário de uma favelada de Carolina Maria de Jesus.

    Introduction: Rethinking Freedom of Expression and Media Freedom

    No full text
    FROM THE INTRODUCTION: Freedom of expression is an essential part of democracy, and free speech goes hand in hand with a free media. Thomas Jefferson, the principal author of the American Declaration of Independence, wrote in 1816: “Where the press is free and every man able to read, all is safe” (Jefferson 1816/1900). And as emphasized in the UK’s Leveson report earlier this decade, “With these rights, however, come responsibilities to the public interest: to respect the truth, to obey the law and to uphold the rights and liberties of individuals. In short, to honour the very principles proclaimed and articulated by the industry itself ” (Leveson 2012:4). Although the principle of free speech could be said to remain largely the same over time, the conditions for free speech and free media do not; they are certainly not the same as when Jefferson made his statement. Today the conditions are more democratic overall and the level of state censorship is lower (at least in parts of the world), concerns about state surveillance notwithstanding. However, the market pressure on media financing models and market-driven ideas that suggest the state should not ‘interfere’ in the media ecology makes journalism more vulnerable and less independent from commercial interests. It is these changing conditions of state and market that this book explores. We seek to make it at least a little more difficult to discuss free speech without addressing such contemporary conditions. //From a Nordic perspective, the theme is highly topical because it coincides with the 250 th anniversary of the world’s oldest constitutional protection for a free press and free speech, the Swedish Press Act of 1766, passed 50 years before Jefferson made his statement, quoted above.The overall aim of this book is to focus on challenges from the market to free speech and how free speech can be protected, promoted and developed in a time when the lines between journalism and advertising are blurred. Its scope covers both structural and individual levels. It analyses tensions between what can be called democracy-driven and market-driven freedom of expression ..

    The aim of this article is to show the figure of the ancient god Hades as an important part of Byzantine symbolic representations of the Last Judgement, using the example of the mosaic from the west wall of Basilica Santa Maria Assunta in Torcello, Italy. The article is divided into three main parts. The first part briefly introduces the mosaic complex from Torcello, providing a description of the place, the Basilica, and the mosaic. In the second part, the author focuses on the fragment of the mosaic presenting the figure of Hades in hell. In an effort to show the iconographical and cultural continuity between ancient and early medieval representations, the author compares this figure to its ancient prototype. The last part of the article portrays the development of the motif of the Last Judgment by looking at other chosen representations. In conclusion, the author proposes a possible meaning of the presence of Hades in the mosaic of Torcello
